As the 2020 NHL Entry Draft went on, I took a quick look at the Tampa Bay Lightning’s draft picks as they came in. With our coverage, I had to offer up a quick blurb about the player, knowing we’d get a deeper dive on the player later. They definitely had some spots where I would have preferred a different player, but wasn’t overly upset by any pick a long the way. I could definitely see that the Lightning were looking for more players with size and that would be hard to play against.
Obviously they learned something from the 2019-20 season and the additions of Pat Maroon, Blake Coleman, Barclay Goodrow, and Zach Bogosian.
