Lightning take Dyllan Gill and Klavs Veinbergs with back-to-back picks in the Seventh Round

The Lightning have finished off the 2022 NHL Entry Draft by using back-to-back seventh round picks with the third- and second-to-last picks of the draft. With their two picks, they selected defenseman Dyllan Gill and left-winger Klavs Veinbergs.

Gill is a right-handed defenseman listed at 6’2” and 181 pounds. He has spent the past two seasons playing for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the QMJHL. In 2020-21, he recorded two assists in 39 games played. This season, he posted six goals and 21 points in 66 games. There isn’t much offense in his game, and not a whole lot of NHL upside here.
