Ilya Usau - On unconditional waivers Usau was placed on unconditional waivers by the Lightning on Saturday for the purpose of terminating his contract, according to CapFriendly.
Impact Usau had seven goals and 14 points in 42 contests with AHL Syracuse in 2023-24. The 22-year-old was never drafted, but he signed a three-year, entry-level deal with Tampa Bay in March 2022. Should Usau clear waivers and get released, as is expected, he might return to the KHL. He scored nine goals and 26 points in 40 KHL outings with his hometown of Minsk in 2021-22.

Lightning trade with Predators to bring veteran defenseman Ryan McDonagh back to Tampa Bay
The Nashville Predators have traded Ryan McDonagh back to Tampa Bay less than two years after acquiring the veteran defensemanMAY 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ryan McDonagh - Returning to Bolts McDonagh was traded to the Lightning from the Predators along with a 2024 fourth-round pick in exchange for a 2025 second-round selection and 2024 seventh-round pick.
Impact McDonagh spent five seasons with the Lightning during his previous stint, logging 267 regular-season games for the club while lifting Lord Stanley's cup twice during his stay. McDonagh figures to slot into a third pairing for the Lightning. With the acquisition of McDonagh, Tampa Bay is unlikely to re-sign Matt Dumba or Calvin de Haan.

Mitchell Chaffee - Secures two-year pact Chaffee agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Impact Chaffee's deal is a one-way contract, which should increase his chances of playing in more than 30 NHL games this upcoming season. During the 2023-24 campaign, the 26-year-old winger notched four goals on 27 shots, three assists and 88 hits while averaging 11:07 of ice time. Even with his new deal in hand, Chaffee is unlikely to challenge for more than a bottom-six role next year.
