Trade: Tanner Jeannot traded for a pair of draft picks.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have traded enforcer Tanner Jeannot.

The Lightning made a pair of very aggressive trades on Saturday during the second day of the National Hockey League's Entry Draft, both of which appear to be designed to free up significant cap space.

The most recent move sees the Lightning parting ways with NHL enforcer Tanner Jeannot just two seasons after the Lightning gave up significant assets to acquire him from the Nashville Predators. In this deal, the Lightning are sending Jeannot to the Los Angeles Kings and will receive a second round pick in 2025 and pick #118 at this year's draft.

That is a far, far, cry from what the Lightning gave up to acquire Jeannot and it seems this is an admission on their part that they may have made a big mistake.

This is what the Lightning gave up to acquire Jeannot from the Predators:
Cal Foote
First round draft pick (2025)
Second round draft pick (2024)
Third round draft pick (2023)
Fourth round draft pick (2023)
Fifth round draft pick (2023)

Jeannot appeared in just 75 total games for the Lightning over the past two seasons, scoring 8 goals and adding 10 assists for a total of 18 points over that stretch.
