Thompson found some ice in Europe when the OHL never got going during the pandemic and played in 18 games in HockeyEttam in Sweden scoring nine goals and 18 points in as many games.
Thompson is a rapidly rising prospect and a great value pick by the Lightning as a 2020 third-round pick.
Jack Thompson, D – Soo Greyhounds (OHL)ĭrafted: 2020 round three, 93 rd overall by Tampa Bay Lightning. He can allow some soft goals and has looked like he needs time adjusting to the smaller angles of North American ice and tracking and reading plays. With arguably the top goaltender in the world as the incumbent starting goalie in Vasilevskiy Tampa can be patient with Alnefelt and allow the 20-year-old to develop in the AHL.Īlnefelt has NHL size and is very athletic. 884 SV%, it has seen his stock take a drop.Īlnefelt was recalled to the Lightning in December and made his NHL debut in relief for one period and allowed three goals against off ten shots. While his record and performance are not bad at 3.0 GAA and a. Alnefelt is in his AHL rookie season and expectations are high. The big Swedish netminder has higher prospect stock coming into this season than any other Tampa prospect with a 2019 U18 Gold Medal and a 2020 WJC Bronze Medal in his back pocket. Hugo Alnefelt, G – Syracuse Crunch (AHL)ĭrafted: 2019 round three, 71 st overall by Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa is still a legitimate Stanley Cup contender and should be able to win again before the sand runs out of the hourglass on their core of Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Victor Hedman, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Steven Stamkos. #STANLEY CUP TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING ROSTER FREE#
The Lightning have an impressive track record of doing exactly that, filling out their roster with later-round draft picks and free agent signings of prospects. GM Julien Brisebois is banking on Hagel being a key part to helping Tampa win more Stanley Cups, and his scouting staff to make the most out of later-round picks. The recent Brandon Hagel trade will have some long-term consequences on their prospect pool as it cost the Bolts two first-round picks and two NHL prospects in Boris Katchouk and Taylor Raddysh. But that’s OK since they are also back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions. The Tampa Bay Lightning have one of the weakest prospect pools in the NHL.
