The Lighting paid a steep price -- two first-round picks -- for Gourde and Bjorkstrand but they're two players who should fit in perfectly.

What could be a busy week of NHL trade deadline activity for the Seattle Kraken started with a bang on Wednesday.

According to multiple reports, the Seattle Kraken have traded former Columbus Blue Jackets forward Olivier Bjorkstrand along with Yanni Gourde to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are a perennial contender in the Eastern Conference. While their run of three straight Stanley Cup Final appearances is over, they are still looking to add another banner to the rafters.
