Report: TB after top 5 pick

Post by Jets GM »

Lightning getting back into first round?
Last minute push by TB GM to acquire top 5 pick

After breaking records by acquiring seven first round picks and dealing every single one of then, fans have become to expect the unexpected and bizarre. You can add attempting to enter the first round in a big way to that list; multiple sources have indicated a deal in place for Tampa Bay to acquire the second overall pick in this years EHEC entry draft. It's unknown who the Lightning are waiting to see who's available, but it's been confirmed it is not the consensus number one Nail Yakubov. This is more erratic and what some fans are calling frightening management from TB GM. The addition of Cam Fowler was said to be marking the return of the Lightning to contender status; how is an eighteen year old supposed to contribute right away to a Stanley Cup run?

Ryan Murray is the player Lightning are interested in reportedly. Murray plans a simple game, his biggest attribute? A man of character scouts say, a real leader of men. His leadership skills which is a rare find an entry draft might be enough to make him a must have for the Lightning, finding a player who can captain a championship team for 15 years would be a rare commodity. The draft begins any moment and there is still no word about a potential deal, will the Lightning get their guy?
