Tarnasky traded to Predators
The Lightning traded rugged wing Nick Tarnasky to the Predators for a conditional 2009 draft pick. Tampa Bay received a sixth-round pick that would turn into a fifth if Tarnasky plays at least 55 games. The trade will save the Lightning $525,000 off the cap.
With Michel lOuellet on waivers (he will either be claimed or sent to AHL Norfolk) Tampa Bay still needs to make one cut before 3 p.m. Friday to get down to the required 24 players, including extra goalie Karri Ramo.

Wow...Didn't see this coming. Tarns is out, Ouellet is on waivers...I guess it's down to Koci and Ward now.
