NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has reported that the Tampa Bay Lightning are shopping big-name defenseman Ryan McDonagh.
As per Friedman:
''It's not news the Tampa Bay Lightning have some very difficult decisions to make. They want to try to keep unrestricted free agents Ondrej Palat, Nick Paul and Jan Rutta, which is impossible without painful choices elsewhere.''
�'According to multiple sources, the Lightning are working with Ryan McDonagh to see if there's another team he'd consider a trade to.'' Joe Smith of The Athletic confirmed Friedman's reports:
McDonagh was an integral piece to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships and three straight finals appearances. The veteran has played 12 seasons with the New York Rangers and Lightning, appearing in 783 games and recording 71 goals and 266 assists. He has appeared in 185 playoff games as well, collecting 12 goals and 52 assists.
