The Tampa Bay Lightning announced today that the team has signed forward Jack Finley to a three-year entry level contract. Finley was the Lightning’s first player selected in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, 57th overall in the second round. In 61 games last season for the Spokane Chiefs in the WHL, Finley recorded 19 goals and 57 points with 32 PIM.
Standing at 6’5” and weighing 207 pounds, Finley already has an NHL frame. To give a NHL size comparison, Patrik Laine is listed at 6’5” and 206 pounds. Being only 18 years old and already having that much weight, there’s the possibility that he could get up to the 220 to 230 range in his prime as he adds more muscle.
