The Tampa Bay Lightning have reliably been able to look to their Syracuse Crunch prospects to fill in the holes in the roster. And even though the team’s farm is rated as one of the worst in the league year-after-year, recently, there are usually players ready to make the jump when the call comes.
Currently working their way up are the Lightning’s two second-round picks from the 2020 Draft — Jack Finley (57 overall) and Gage Goncalves (62 overall).
