The Lightning have traded Vinny Prospal to the Philadelphia Flyers for Alex Picard and a second or third round pick.
Analysis: This trade doesn’t make too much sense to me. While I undertand they lost out on Forsberg and just lost Simon Gagne and Mike Richards to injury, the team still lacks the necessary goaltending and defense to make a strong run through the playoffs. Unless this move is supplemented by other trades tomorrow, I just don’t see the point of giving up Picard and a draft pick for a rental player.
For Illegal Curve, I’m Richard Pollock.
He's closing in on his first game since January 13th.
The 2024 2nd rounder is in Winnipeg where he'll spend the rest of the season…
