Kucherov told teammates on the team plane; Lightning dig in

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNikita Kucherov reportedly told his Lightning teammates he wants a trade, and Yahoo Sports says he did it on the team plane.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMeanwhile the general manager says the team has no intention of trading him, and he has two Stanley Cups and an MVP. Brock, thermometer's yours.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDale, you're up.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take: he picked the plane because nobody can leave a seatbelt-sign meeting to take a phone call.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody can storm out at thirty thousand feet, and the snacks are already paid for.

6. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHot. Cruel, but hot.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy hot take: this is the best news in Tampa. Eight wins, three losses, one overtime loss, and he's got fifteen points in twelve games.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a man giving the fans their money's worth.

9. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNot. He's asking to leave a team that's tied for third. Nobody asked the plane.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYour final take, then.

11. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHe gets a ten-team list, and the Lightning say no trade.

12. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo the real winner is whoever has the window seat on every road trip from now on.
