On this episode, our senior writer George Fitzgerald joins the show to discuss the monkey in the room—the McDonagh trade. We discuss the price given up for Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller, in addition to, the impact of losing Vladislav Namestnikov from the main roster, and Libor Hajek and Brett Howden from the prospect pool. Afterward, Geo and I ruminate on the lineup decisions coach Jon Cooper has in front of him after the trade and what an optimal lineup could be for the Lightning. At the end of the episode, we reminisce about some of our Lightning memorabilia and share some stories about our interactions with some Lightning players/fans.Every episode of Charged Up is on iTunes, Soundcloud, Google Play, and Stitcher.
