Breaking News: Lightning Make Minor Trade with Panthers
Posted 7:15 PM ET | Comments 0
The Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers have made a small trade.
To Florida
James Wright (F)
Michael Vernace (D)
To Tampa
Mike Kostka (D)
Evan Oberg (D)
In Oberg the Lightning are getting a developing D-man who has NHL potential. He didn't exactly struggle in Vancouver but his trade was necessary for the Canucks to bring in Chris Higgins.
Overall, I like this deal for Tampa as it increases their defensive depth.
