With their third pick of the day the Tampa Bay Lightning selected Sudbury Wolves defenseman Jack Thompson with the 93rd selection of the draft. It was nice to see that the Lightning finally remembered that they OHL existed as Thompson was the first player they’ve drafted out of that league since 2016 when they picked three players (Boris Katchouk, Taylor Raddysh, and Christopher Paquette). The 6’0 180lb defenseman doubled his offensive output in his second year with the Wolves as he racked up 32 points (13 goals, 19 assists) from the blueline.
