You might recall in the mock draft I read the riot act to folks who were suggesting the Lightning should select a defenseman or goaltender. And, it seems to me, a lot of people have seen TSN's mock draft and assumed that Ondrej Pavelec is a good default selection at 30. I said it then and I'll reiterate it: the Lightning need forwards.

But don't take my word for it, take Jay Feaster's:

"As we have assessed where we are in the minors and in the organization, again, the goal-scorers and skilled forwards are the guys we don't have enough of," Feaster said. "We really need to try to focus on some snipers and some guys who can make some plays."

Given that he goes on to foreshadow a smaller player with heart will be taken over a bigger one with less heart... perhaps Cogliano would be the better choice at 30?

They took 6 straight forwards after that. The 1st rounder was strange.
