In his second move of the morning, Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois traded forward Tanner Jeannot to the Los Angeles Kings for a 2025 second-round pick and the 118th pick in the 2024 draft. The Bolts continued to clear out salary cap space following their blockbuster Mikhail Sergachev deal earlier in the day.
Mr. BriseBois recoups a few assets after emptying the trade bank for Jeannot at the 2023 trade deadline. The big, hard-hitting forward never quite found his footing in Tampa, as he struggled with consistency and health. In 75 games for the Lightning, Jeannot scored 8 goals and added 10 assists while dealing with a myriad of injuries.
