Nikita Kucherov, one of the NHL's premier forwards, has requested a trade away from the Tampa Bay Lightning, according to Yahoo Sports. The report indicates Kucherov informed his teammates of the request while the team was traveling together on a plane this past Friday.
The move sent shockwaves through the hockey world given Kucherov's status as a franchise cornerstone for Tampa Bay. Yahoo Sports has since floated several potential landing spots that could be in play if the Lightning decide to move their star forward.
No trade has been finalized, and further details on a possible deal or Tampa Bay's response have not been reported.
