Lightning and Capitals make significant trades on 2nd day of NHL draft
AP Hockey Writer
The Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals each made multiple trades on a busy second day of action at the NHL draft. The Lightning sent two-time Stanley Cup-winning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev to Utah and depth forward Tanner Jeannot to Los Angeles in moves that cleared more than $11 million in salary cap space. That could be enough money to keep captain Steven Stamkos or make a significant free agent signing. Washington acquired goaltender Logan Thompson from Vegas and sent fourth-line winger Beck Malenstyn to Buffalo. St. Louis also traded Kevin Hayes to Pittsburgh for future considerations.
