Since Steve Yzerman and Al Murray took over at the top for the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2010, there have been two developmental areas that the Lightning have not done great on: defensemen and goaltenders. The defensemen is a rant for another day so we’ll focus on the goaltending today. Before we get to the current goaltenders on the farm, we should look at the other goaltenders and how they turned out.
The first goaltender that the Lightning drafted in the Yzerman-Murray Era was Adam Wilcox in the sixth round in 2011. He was an NCAA bound goaltender and put up good numbers over three seasons with the University of Minnesota before turning pro.
