“Cal Foote: The Lightning plan on making another Cup run, so they are unlikely to trade someone from their current core. Picking one possible player to be traded from all 32 teams Top candidates to fill out Lightning’s roster at forward Ĭole Koepke is Eddie Encina’s front runner, but he does mention Fortier as a possibility as well. With Tampa in the projected track of Hurricane Ian, the Lightning made the early (and wise) decision to postpone their two upcoming home games. While his name hasn’t been bandied about as much as others as a possible replacement for Anthony Cirelli, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him break camp with the team.
