Maroon, 35, has spent the past 4 seasons with the Lightning, having won the Stanley Cup for the St. Louis Blues in 2019, and then being apart of 2 Stanley Cup wins for the Lightning in 2020 & 2021, being the first NHLer to win 3 consecutive cups since Mike McEwen and Billy Carroll between 1980-1982 with the New York Islanders.
Cajkovic, 22, was a former third round pick of the Lightning, who played in both the AHL & ECHL and is under contract until 2024.
Could Patrick Maroon win his 4th Stanley Cup with this trade?
