First Tampa Bay Lightning draft pick from each country

The Tampa Bay Lightning entered the NHL for the 1992-93 season. Their first draft came with the 1992 draft class. EliteProspects.com has a lot of great information for looking at draft selections and stats for players by a variety of different categories; year, team, and even country of origin. A quick scan will show you how many players have been drafted from each country. For example, there have only been 28 Austrian players drafted, while there have been 6,092 drafted from Canada.

It got me curious about what players the Lightning have drafted from countries other than the big hockey super powers of the world.
