With all bolts injury at the defense they could use an known player to add more experience and stability. But at same time they are really neat the cap space so if there an trade for one I think they would prefer to have retention included.

Lightning don't have alot of interesting pick to give which mean they would probably need to select in is prospect pool to add depth at the deadline. I'm just not sure they would want to trade Gauthier yet as he seem an good kid with interesting potential.

As Montreal is pretty good with defense prospect they would probably target forward.
