There was a time not too long ago when we weren't sure if Adam Wilcox would ever sign a contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Now he slots in as a key piece on the Lightning goaltending depth chart.
Drafted out of the USHL in the 6th round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Wilcox was a slow burn prospect who played one more USHL season (split between the Green Bay Gamblers and Tri-City Storm) after being drafted before heading to the University of Minnesota.
Here's how the panel ranked Adam Wilcox:
Previous Ranks: #23 (2013), #21 (2014)
After an outstanding 2013-14 season, Wilcox's numbers took a bit of a dip with the Golden Gophers in 2014-15, perhaps explaining his stagnation in our yearly rankings.
