St. Louis reportedly asked general manager Steve Yzerman for a trade after Team Canada’s executive director left him off the initial 25-man roster for the Sochi Olympics.
The 38-year-old winger, who was eventually named to the roster as an injury replacement for Steven Stamkos, has a no-trade clause and could control his destination.
That destination is New York, where he’ll replace a pending unrestricted free agent in Callahan on right wing.
Reports indicate the Lightning also get a first- and a conditional second-round pick in the deal.
