Day two of the NHL draft is officially underway. The Tampa Bay Lightning entered the day with five picks but didn’t waste any time acquiring a sixth in a trade with Vancouver. General Manager Julien BriseBois sent JT Miller to the west coast in exchange for Vancouver’s third round pick this year, a conditional first round pick in 2020 or 2021, and goalie Marek Mazanec.
The pick acquired from the Canucks will be the Lightning’s first pick of the day at 71. That will be followed by their own pick at 89 in the third round.
