Rookie season production by 1st round draft picks in Lightning team history varies. Drouin's season sits near the top.
Yesterday's comparison article regarding Jonathan Drouin and other players in Lightning team history to have worn the jersey number 27 was a bit unfair when talent is taking into consideration - there was only one player of the bunch who had been a 1st round draft selection and played with the Lightning at a comparable age (Jason Weimer). Continuing on comparison and projection for Drouin at the start of his NHL career, take a quick look at the Lightning's 1st round forward selections from 1993 through 2011 and their first pro season production.
