Lightning Eyeing Werenski Trade | Tampa Bay Lightning News

Tampa Bay Lightning eye elite defenseman Zach Werenski, who’s delivered back-to-back 80-point seasons and is set to be a bargain at the cap hit, making him a perfect fit to bolster their offensive blue line. Columbus, unwilling to trade a cornerstone for a rebuild, would likely demand NHL-ready prospects like J.J. Moser, plus additional assets such as Sam O’Reilly or Conor Geekie. If the deal happens, Werenski would anchor Tampa’s top pairing alongside Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh, forcing tough ice time decisions for younger D-men. His arrival would not only upgrade Tampa’s defense but also solidify their position as a top-tier defensive unit in the conference, aligning perfectly with their short- and long-term goals.
