The Tampa Bay Lightning have seven picks in the 2026 NHL Draft: Nos. 58, 90, 133, 134, 154, 186, 218. Here’s what to expect.
Pronman’s team needs
Conor Geekie brings size and touch to the forward group, and Sam O’Reilly is a good two-way center. Tampa Bay has traded so many picks over the years that its defensive cupboard is virtually bare. The Lightning need an influx of talent on the blue line.
Names to watch
In recent mock drafts, Corey Pronman has projected the following picks:
58. Liam Lefebvre, C
90. Tomas Galvas, D
133. Layne Gallacher, C
134. Eddy Doyle, D
154. Samuel Hrenak, G
186. Noa Ta’amu, D
218. Yaroslav Antonov, RW
