Lightning Round: 2022 Draft Lottery date set

The NHL has announced a date for the NHL Draft Lottery where bottom-feeder teams will get to fight over Shane Wright and the rest of the top prospects in the 2022 Draft. Because we Tampa Bay Lightning fans haven’t had much of a need to pay attention to the first round, here is some background on this year’s class. The Bolts do have their first rounder this year, so it is worth keeping an eye on the prospects available in the late first round. That said, only the bottom 16 teams will participate in the lottery.
