The Tampa Bay Lightning have dealt centers Tyler Johnson and Anthony Cirelli to the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Ryan Ellis and center Mike Ribeiro.

"It was not an easy move to make. We were rather hesitant to move Tyler because he is a terrific young player, but looking forward to the offseason - we knew it would be tough to re-sign Johnson, with Palat, Drouin, and others also on expiring contracts, and Hedman's extension coming into effect. That being said, we are absolutely thrilled to add a top four right handed puck moving d-man as talented as Ryan. While Ellis not the biggest guy in the world, he more than makes up for it with his offensive abilities, smarts, and positioning. We believe that given opportunity to quarterback our number 1 power play unit, he could see a significant jump in his point totals, not being stuck behind a Weber or Subban. Ryan's defensive abilities are underrated as well, and with 2 years left after this at $2.5m annually, we feel this is a coup for us. Mike is going to help to replace some of the scoring lost by trading Johnson. He isn't as fast as Johnson, but he is a terrific playmaker, and will not be relied upon as heavily to produce in a prime offensive role with our plan to convert Drouin to center."

Read, Laughton, Couturier, Cousins remain available upfront for hockey deals or for forward prospects

Rentals such as Del Zotto, Mason, Neuvirth and Schultz remain available for contenders

Looking for a 1G for next season don't mind a youngster or an old vet

The Winnipeg Jets have traded forwards Kyle Connor and Nic Petan to the Philadelphia Flyers for Sean Couturier and prospect defensemen Travis Sanheim. This was a trade that we waivered on for a while as both Connor and Petan have high potential. However, we liked the defensive acumen that Couturier brings to an already offensively talented forward core, as well as the high potential that Travis Sanheim brings. We believe a future D core featuring Byfuglien, Myers, Trouba, Morrissey and Sanheim will be a top group in the league.

To :wild - Esa Lindell, Denis Guryanov, Henri Kiviaho
To :stars - Marco Scandella

:wild Confirm.

With the expansion draft on the horizon, we felt the need to address the surplus the Wild have on the blue-line. Scandella, who is more than capable of playing top-4 minutes has been a victim of a deep left-side. In Dallas, he'll be given the opportunity to play top-4 minutes and be a contributor to the Stars playoff run. In return for Scandella, the Wild are exciting to welcome Esa Lindell, Denis Guryanov and Henri Kiviaho. A potential top-4 defender, top-6 winger and back-up goaie helps boost the depth of the Wild organization all around.

Flyers get absolutely hosed...
My 2 cents

Connor and Sanheim are similar, edge to Connor, but Couturier is miles better than Petan.... Selke level defense, improving offense

After the recent Scandella trade, the likelihood of Brodin moving is quite slim. I'd need an offer the knocks my socks off for me to move him now.
