BREAKING: Lightning Trade Patrick Maroon

We have some late-night breaking news for you all, as the Lightning and Wild have just completed a trade.

That's right folks, the Tampa Bay Lightning have traded their Stanley Cup charm.

Tampa Bay traded Maroon, along with prospect Max Cajkovic to the Wild in exchange for a 7th-round pick. If that return feels low, just wait until you hear the best part.

The Lightning will be retaining 20% of Maroon's $1 million salary. It's clear that they were desperate to move this money out, but their reasoning is unknown right now.
