The Captain Comes Home

The Tampa Bay Lightnings have acquired Brady Tkachuk from the New York Islanders and immediately name him Captain. Trade details below:

Brady Tkachuk

5 Million Dollars

For

Ivan Demidov

Jeremy Lauzon

We did not expect to trade Demidov and believed he would be on our team for the next 9 years, but when the Islanders came calling with the one player this GM could not say no too a deal came to play. Brady is one of a handful of true power forwards in this game a list that only grows smaller by the day. True PWF include Tom Wilson, Matthew Knies, & our Captain, few others truly join this group with their pure physicality and scoring. Brady also adds amazing leadership to this group and completes our top line perfectly! Lines projections below:

Tkachuk - Bedard - Pasta

Bennett - Horvat - Geekie

Foegle - Greig - Johnson

Blank - Kelly - Rodriguez 

Fowler - Blank

Olesiak - Carlo

Spence - Gudbranson

Skinner
