Only one Lightning prospect present. That’s sad!

 

[Felonious Python]

The Lightning only have 6 prospects who are U20.

What a joke of an organization

The Leafs have 6 as well. SJ has 15.

TB likes to skew a bit older by picking 19 and 20 years olds at the draft.

Well yeah they have to. We have been toasting our guys in the minors until 22 years old for years now. Might as well make it only a +2 draft year versus +4

It works. And we still had a handful of guys at most WJCs.

 

[Felonious Python]

Russia being absent (not that we're picking Russians lately), and the USA having more 1st/2nd round talent, contributed to fewer Lightning prospects going.

It's not like Latvia or Norway are heavy hitters with draft picks.

Kind of a flawed list because some of these players were in the tournament before they were drafted. You also have players like Brett Connolly, Adam Janosik, Richard Panik, and Carter Ashton who were not Murray era picks, but played in the tournament after Murray and his staff were put together by Yzerman.
