Tanner Jeannot

The Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning completed a trade centering around Tanner Jeannot. Here are the grades for how each club did.

There is no question that Jeannot’s immensely physical style of play made him a valuable part of the Predators’ roster, but general manager (GM) David Poile would have been crazy not to accept the Lightning’s offer for him. The Predators acquired a 2025 first-round pick (Top-10 protected), a 2024 second-round pick, a 2023 third-round pick, a 2023 fourth-round pick, a 2023 fifth-round pick, and Foote for a player who has just 14 points in 56 games played. Nevertheless, it is fair to say that the Predators hit a home run with this move.

For the Predators, a sell-off like this on the day they announced David Poile’s upcoming retirement is quite something. Still, it is a massive price to pay for a player who has struggled this year. The Lightning have continued to fill out their lineup with gritty, in-your-face players that can still contribute, and if Jeannot returns to his past form he may be the best among them. The hitting remains this year but the offensive production has dried up, with just five goals so far for Jeannot in 2022-23. That nearly league-minimum salary is exactly why the Lightning had to pay so much, and continues their trend of acquiring players with team control.

The slumping Tampa Bay Lightning added an element of grit into their lineup to punch up their late-season playoff push by acquiring forward Tanner Jeannot ...

In a separate move, Nashville gave up future considerations to acquire minor-league forward Isaac Ratcliffe in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers. The Predators traded Jeannot after improving to 4-1 in their past five following a 6-2 win at Arizona. The Lightning maintain a strong hold on third place in the Atlantic Division, and are likely to open the playoffs facing Toronto in a rematch of last year’s first-round playoff series, which Tampa Bay won in seven games.

The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired Tanner Jeannot Sunday night from Nashville in exchange for Cal Foote and five future draft picks.

To put that in perspective, that is on par with what the Maple Leafs paid to acquire Ryan O’Reilly and Noel Acciari from the St. And that’s fine for now, but eventually this team will be in a position where their hands are truly tied at the deadline. As an RFA, Tampa Bay will still have team control over him, but will hope to have him signed at a reasonable number for multiple seasons going forward to fully maximize the value gained from the trade. Bellemare, with his faceoff and penalty kill abilities, should have an advantage to staying in over the other three. The actual trade deadline is not until 3 p.m. Three seasons and 117 games into his Lightning career, Foote has struggled to stay in the lineup and prove that he is a nightly player. I view the 2023 third-round pick as a use or lose type of deal. Perhaps the biggest shock is what was paid in terms of draft capital. The addition of Hagel and Paul last year eliminated any dire need, and now there will be a luxury of PK riches to work with. With 213 hits this season, he is 69 hits clear of the next closest forward on Nashville, and third among all forwards in the league. Part of the goal-scoring decline can be attributed to his 19.4% shooting percentage last season being an unrealistic expectation to maintain, but also because the 5.7% he’s shooting this year is really bad. Additionally, with 51 blocked shots, he leads the Predators and is 19th league wide among forwards.
