Anthony Cirelli was the player that ended Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl‘s Memorial Cup dreams in 2015 as he scored the overtime winner for the Oshawa Generals to give them the championship. Ever since then his value has been trending up.
Drafted by Tampa Bay in the 3rd round, 72nd overall, Cirelli is not overly big (6 feet and 180lbs), but he has very quick feet, he’s positionally sound, and he’s very tenacious on the puck.
The Etobicoke, ON native is an essential piece to the Lightning’s 3rd line and their penalty kill.
