  1. Rumor

    Nikita Kucherov · Tampa Bay Lightning

    1. Rumor

      Good news if he's on your roster. Pierre LeBrun hears Kucherov plans to keep playing for the Lightning while this plays out, so keep him in your lineup for Saturday in Nashville.

    2. Rumor

      Key detail from Pierre LeBrun: Kucherov doesn't have a full no-trade clause. It's a modified one, with a list of 10 approved destinations. Greg Wyshynski cites the same detail via PuckPedia. That narrows where he can realistically land.
