Tampa Bay Lightning Trade Deadline

The Tampa Bay Lightning are making moves towards the NHL Trade Deadline but could it be moves in the wrong direction? The Lightning have trading goalie and pending unrestricted free agent Ben Bishop to the LA Kings for Peter Budaj and a prospect. They also traded F Brian Boyle to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Could Tyler Johnson be next? I honestly feel that the Lightning should be buyers not sellers in this year's trade deadline as they are below average this year after making the Eastern Conference Finals last year and the Stanley Cup Finals the year before. In my opinion GM Steve Yzerman is on the hotseat and won't get off it unless he makes a big move as a buyer during this year's trade deadline. Many injuries have also hurt the Lightning with Steven Stamkos out and Callahan done for the year it looks like this might be just the start of a decline for this Tampa Bay Lightning team.
