On Tuesday at The Athletic, Corey Pronman released a ranking of NHL teams by their under-23 players. The Lightning landed at number 20 on his list. Pronman is one of the most well-known prospect writers and he does an admirable job of covering the prospect pipelines for every NHL team.
As a Lightning fan, my eyebrows rose when I saw the Lightning in the 20th spot. The Bolts have both Brayden Point and Mikhail Sergachev, two high-end under-23 NHL players. They also have a deep pipeline with Cal Foote, Boris Katchouk, Taylor Raddysh, Alex Volkov, and Mathieu Joseph leading the way.
