Nikita Kucherov has been the face of one of the NHL’s most successful franchises over the past decade and a half. But after 13 years with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the two-time Stanley Cup champion has officially requested a trade.
While the Tampa Bay front office has said they have no plans to actually move the two-time Hart Trophy winner, the time could be now for a full rebuild. The Lightning are currently 4th in the Atlantic division with a decent 8-3-2 record, but have lost in the First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the last four seasons. Kucherov is also a free agent after the season so if he has no desire to return to Tampa after this campaign, they might elect to try and get something for him rather than let him walk away for free.
The 33-year-old from Maykop, Russia has four goals and 14 assists so far through 13 games and could be a huge addition for any team that trades for him.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. The Hart Memorial Trophy is given to the NHL’s Most Valuable Player for the regular season. How many of the players to win it since 1983 can you name in six minutes?
Good luck!
