The Tampa Bay Lightning have traded forward Tyler Johnson and the team's 2023 second round draft pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for defenseman Brent Seabrook. Seabrook will remain on long-term injured reserve for the remainder of his contract.

“I’d like to personally thank Tyler for what he has meant to this organization over the past nine years since he joined the Lightning as an undrafted free agent,” Lightning General Manager Julien BriseBois said.

“He played a pivotal role in the success the team has enjoyed and will forever be remembered as a two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Bolts. We wish him all the best in Chicago.”

Johnson played nine seasons in Tampa Bay scoring 161 regular season goals and recording 200 assists.

He also scored four goals during the Lightning's 2020-21 Stanley Cup playoff run. 

The 30-year-old has three years remaining on his seven-year, $35 million contract.
