Analysis: Florida clears unwanted cap space with this move.

Riley Stillman is a promising young Defensemen who’s Ceiling is Probably a 3RD Defense Pair. Stillman has (0G-0A-0P) in 8 games played and carries a ($.733 Thousand RFA). Chicago also got draft capital with the 7RD pick in this year’s draft. For Florida Lucas Wallmark becomes a deadline addition to Florida for the second straight year after he was dealt last deadline by Carolina to Florida. He has (0G-3A-3P) in 16 games played and Carries a ($.950 Thousand RFA) and could be there fourth line center for Florida. And for Lucas Carlsson he is a good young D-Men but will probably be a depth defencemen just like Stillman was with Florida. He has (0G-1A-1P) in 12 games played with Chicago.
