Lightning owner Oren Koules said the Lightning is not done trading this summer for both bodies and draft choices. Who is next to go? Well, Koules wouldn't say. But we can make some educated guesses.

Given the stocking up that has gone on it at forward, it seems there are some extras up front that are good candidates. The most notable probably is Jussi Jokinen. The left wing was inconsistent in his time in Tampa after being acquired from the Stars in the Brad Richards trade. And he just doesn't seem to fit right now.

With Marty St. Louis and Vinny Prospal playing with center Vinny Leecavalier; Ryan Malone and Radim Vrbata with center Steve Stamkos;  Gary Roberts and, for now, Michel Ouellet with center Jeff Halpern; and perhaps Nick Tarnasky and Evgeny Artyukhin, when he is signed, with center Ryan Craig, Jokinen seems left out. Ouellet shouldn't get too comfortable either, though his fine play with Halpern last season should mean Tampa Bay can be more choosy when working on deals.

What does Tampa Bay need? Another defenseman; not necessarily a star, but a 15- to 17-minute lockdown guy, a veteran who can add some stability to what will be a young blue line.

Will it happen right away? Not necessarily. But don't blink. The way things have been going this summer, you might miss it.
