Since being taken in the third-round of the 2014 NHL Draft, Johansson has appeared in just 32 NHL games. He's gone 9-13-4 with a 3.46 GAA and .882 SV% with the Sabres, Avalanche and Panthers. Arizona may be the only destination where Johansson could actually land a backup role in the NHL for the 2022-23 season.
Angello was a fifth-round pick in 2014 and spent the first five years of his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. Angello spent most of the 2021-22 season in the AHL, collecting 19 points (7G / 12A) in 44 games with Wikes-Barre/Scranton. Look for him to report to Springfield (AHL) to start 2022-23.
Mismash was a second-round pick in the 2017 draft and turned pro in 2022 after four years at the University of North Dakota. The 23-year-old winger had 12 points (6G / 6A) in 57 games with Milwaukee (AHL) and will likely report to Syracuse (AHL) next year.
McDonagh has four years left on his seven-year deal that carries a $6.75M AAV cap-hit. The Lightning recently approached McDonagh to waive his no-trade clause in an effort to clear some cap-space. The Lightning have two key UFA's in Ondrej Palat and Jan Rutta and this trade could help get both of them under contract. In Nashville, McDonagh joins Roman Josi, and Mattias Ekholm as the Predators' new big-3.
The Lightning acquired Paul from the Senators at the trade deadline and made an instant impact in Tampa. He had 23 points (10G / 13A) in 44 regular season and playoff games combined. The Lightning clearly liked what they had in Paul, making a seven-year commitment to him with a $3.15M AAV cap-hit.
Raddysh was an undrafted free agent that was traded to Tampa in 2019, re-signed with them in 2021 and earned another two-year deal after posting 25 points (7G / 18A) in 61 games with Syracuse (AHL). He made his NHL debut in 2022, failing to record a point in four NHL games.
Point was officially listed as a game-time decision for Game 3 but he is not on the ice for warmups and will miss Game 3 vs. the Avalanche. Corey Perry will likely take his place on the Lightning's top power-play unit.
