Two years ago, the Tampa Bay Lightning surprised many of their fans by selecting young defenseman Dmitri Semykin from Russia as a third-rounder. At that time there was almost no information on Semykin, he barely played for the national team and spent just one season in the MHL, the Russian junior hockey league. This spring he signed a three-year entry-level deal with the Lightning and finally made our list for the first time, ending up at the 19th spot.
