Here is what has happened so far according to
- The Lightning assigned Johan Harju to Norfolk, which leaves the team with 11 forwards right now
- Newly acquired Curtis McElhinney was put on waivers
With Smith clearing waivers yesterday, it was useless to keep McElhinney as well. He'll be sent to the minors until he becomes a UFA this summer. As I said before, his acquisition was more of a salary dump of Ellis since he still had another year on his contract rather than for McElhinney's services. As for sending Harju down to Norfolk, well it gives Yzerman some room if he were to acquire a forward through a trade or a pickup from the waiver wire
