The Blackhawks, in return for Hagel, got two first-round picks (2023 and 2024), and two players (Boris Katchouk and Taylor Raddysh). The 2023 first-round pick ended up turning into Oliver Moore. As for 2024, they used that first to move up two spots with the New York Islanders and they selected Sacha Boisvert.

Here are three reasons to like the Lightning’s new-look power play. Thursday’s moves were transformative, because the personnel and positional changes made it difficult to tell which was the top unit and which was the second. Point men Victor Hedman and Darren Raddysh switched units, with Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel matched with Raddysh.

Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel each had a goal and two assists, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-1.

The Lightning center is on pace to shatter his career high for goals. Could he also finally win a much-deserved Selke Trophy?

Representing the best players to have suited up for the Bolts over the past 25 years, the first team is headlined for forwards Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and Martin St. Look. We get it.

There’s no doubt the Lightning need better scoring depth from their forward group. Their top six have put up big numbers. In fact, Tampa Bay remains the only team in the NHL with four 20-goal scorers.
