Earlier today, the Tampa Bay Lightning traded veteran defender Ryan McDonagh to the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenceman Philippe Myers and forward Grant Mismash. This was a move necessitated by the Lighting' cap situation, a casualty I'm sure Tampa isn't too happy about.
Either way, Nashville got McDonagh for what is pennies on the dollar and added a much needed stabilizing force on the back end. According to the Fourth Periods David Pagnotta David Poilie GM of the Preds had this to say:
While Nashville added to their back end, the Lightning got 2 fringe NHLer's at best. I don't think this trade is even a contest, the Preds seem to have won this trade outright.
