Ryan McDonagh acquired by former team

The off-season truly hasn't begun yet, but that hasn't stopped the Tampa Bay Lightning making a huge trade, as they've now officially acquired defenseman Ryan McDonagh once again.

This one has come out of nowhere, but after tallying the most points in a season since 2018 with Tampa Bay (32), McDonagh was clearly in need of a new home, and his former team still saw him as a major fit.

In doing so Tampa Bay also acquired a fourth-round pick, while giving up a second and a seventh, so while only time will tell whether or not this is a fair return for both teams, as of right now, it looks like a solid deal for both squads.
