The Tampa Bay Lightning made a trade – just not one that you were expecting. As the second round was winding down, the Lightning made a deal for pick 57 with Montreal, sending them picks 124 and a 2021 second rounder. With that selection, the Lightning took 6’6″ center Jack Finley out of the WHL.

Then when it came time for Tampa Bay’s original second round pick – number 62 overall – they took another WHL center in Gage Goncalves.
