Lightning and Blackhawks Could be Trade Deadline Partners Again
January 19, 2024 by Jim Bay
On March 18, 2022, the Chicago Blackhawks made a Trade-Deadline deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning that sent Brandon Hagel to the Lightning in exchange for forwards Taylor Raddysh and Boris Katchouk, in addition to 2023 and 2024 first-round picks. While the trade did raise a few eyebrows from the Blackhawk faithful, it is a trade that certainly benefited both teams. Hagel has played well in a Lightning sweater, and the Blackhawks picked up some young players and picks to help them rebuild. Now, in 2024, the two teams could find themselves making another deal at this year’s March 8 Deadline.

Two sides will be argued. But only one writer can emerge victorious. That is a joke, but do let us know in the comments who you agree with and share any questions you would like us to debate.
This week’s question is: Which player from the Lightning should have made the All-Star Game?
