Tampa Bay Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman caught Lightning fans all around the Bolts Nation last night with a startling announcement.
Just before the puck dropped between the Lightning and the Florida Panthers at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, it was announced the team had traded defenseman Nikita Nesterov to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for defenseman Jonathan Racine and a 6th Round Pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
While it is well known Yzerman loves his draft picks, and has done a hell of a job using them to better the team in his time here, not much is known about Jonathan Racine, the Lightning’s newest defenseman.
