Before we get to talking about Nick Perbix, it’s trivia time. During the Yzerman/BriseBois Era how many defensemen that have been drafted by the team have appeared in more than 100 games for the Tampa Bay Lightning? I’ll give you a few seconds to think (no Googling!)
Ok,
Pencils down.
The answer - two. That’s right, only two defensemen have been drafted by the Lightning and made their way through the system to play at least 100 games with them at the NHL level. Even better, neither are with the organization. Those two players were Radko Gudas (126) and Nikita Neterov (119).
