Description

Previous assessment: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3220745

Explanation of Tiers:
- LW: I am projecting them to play NHL games. Could be a handful of games or future all-star, but that's not the point of this assessment.
- C: Coin flip as to whether they will belong in the LW or RW column.
- RW: They need to find another gear in their development to see NHL games but possess enough talent to the point where it's possible.
- LD: Top out at the AHL/ECHL level. It is still possible to get to the NHL, but they really need to find some extra gears.
- RD: Have not seen enough of them to make a judgement. Probably would fall in RW or LD column.

Additions:
- 2022 draftees
- Robert Felix (signed as FA)
- Grant Mismash (signed as FA)

Subtractions:
- Amir Miftakhov (released from contract)
- Otto Somppi (not re-signed)
- Cole Guttman (signed with Blackhawks)
- Sammy Walker (signed with Wild)
- Tye Felhaber (not re-signed)
- Odeen Tufto (not re-signed)
- Alex Green (not re-signed)

Misc:
- Didn't look much into our 2022 draftees outside of Howard
- More players moving down than up

As long as you don’t trade your 1sts you’ll be able to keep this window open…

Also not sure where you are getting your info from as a few of the guys you have noted as “future NHLers” are getting pretty low scores in terms of NHL likelihood (Thompson, Goncalves, Finlay) https://dobberprospects.com/team/tampa-bay-lightning/

My eyes.

Check the explanation of tiers:
"LW: I am projecting them to play NHL games. Could be a handful of games or future all-star, but that's not the point of this assessment"

My point still stands. The heading of the column is wrong. Playing a couple games isn’t “future NHLer” that’s “barely/fringe NHLer”
