Pretty nuts what NAS has pulled out of TBL this year.
It was Forsberg only for Erat+Latta.

Yeah the lightning were in cap crunch, and McDonagh was the casualty.
If I recall, I believe he was threated by Brisebois with waivers (NTC not NMC). With reverse standings order from the previous season, he'd likely end up in a less than desirable location -- thus he relaxed his NTC for the Preds.
It may have been a conversation to find an 'ideal' fit, or a fire sale, thus the return was poor.
