Klavs Veinbergs entered the Tampa Bay Lightning organization earlier this summer and steps into our Top 25 Under 25 for 2022.
Before I can get into this player, I first need to address the fact that he ended up outside the top 25 by both the writers and the readers, but still ended up on the final list. This is because Veinbergs was either ranked by individuals relatively high on the list or he wasn’t at all. When it was all averaged together it bumped him ahead of someone like Nick Malik who was only given votes in the 23-25 range but was ranked by many.
