It is no secret that the Tampa Bay Lighting are struggling. Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune talked with Lightning GM Steve Yzerman about making a trade, and his response is below:

“I never believe you do something just to do something,” Yzerman said. “You just try to make the team better, whether that’s through recalling somebody or a trade. I’m not going to react. You just have to assess your team … But I just believe in this group. They are good hockey players. We are just going through a difficult period and have not played as well as we would like to and I think we are better than what we have shown. I just find we are beating ourselves in areas that we can be better in and should be better in.”
