In the Tampa Bay Lightning’s most recent draft class, there seemed to be a slightly more focused effort on bringing a bit more truculence into the organization. Ethan Czata, their second round pick, is a skilled forward that has a bit of an edge to his game. The same goes for one of their seventh-round picks from the 2025 draft, Grant Spada. Unfortunately, players that rely on physicality often cross the line, and that happened to the 6’5″ defenseman as he earned a three-game suspension from the OHL due to a cross-check that led to a match penalty against Sault Ste.
