Top 25 Under 25: #23 Dennis Yan
The first player to hit our countdown from the 2015 NHL Entry Draft is winger Dennis Yan, from the Shawinigan Cataractes.
The dramatic turn in draft strategy taken by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2015 has already been well documented.
After years spent hoarding skill players at all positions during every round, the Lightning took an unexpected turn, opting to reload their system with players generally regarded to have lower ceilings but strong reputations as two-way players; future bottom-line forwards and bottom-pairing defenders to round out a skill-heavy line-up we saw reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2014-15.
