LAS VEGAS — Utah Hockey Club made a big splash on the second day of the NHL draft. The Tampa Bay Lightning cleared a boatload of salary cap space in a matter of minutes. And the Toronto Maple Leafs made a move in hopes of addressing their blue-line needs. Utah acquired defenceman Mikhail Sergachev from Tampa for centre Conor Geekie, defenceman J.J. Moser, a second-round pick next year and the 199th pick in 2024 on Saturday. The Lightning then dealt winger Tanner Jeannot to the Los Angeles Kings
Thompson spent an hour signing autographs at the Sphere during the NHL Draft following the trade.
