With the 2018 NHL Draft in the review mirror, it’s time to get to know the newest draftees of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Yesterday, Geo gave us a thorough rundown of defenseman Dmitri Semykin, who was selected in the third round. Today we look at second-round pick forward Gabriel Fortier.
Fortier was drafted 59th overall, and the Lightning used their highest pick of the day to nab him. At the time, both Geo and loserpoints felt that Fortier fit in well with the Lightning’s overall organizational goals. Geo pointed out Fortier’s good hockey sense, and compared his potential to Mathieu Joseph.
