Tyrell, Dana

Remind me next year to order Red Line three weeks before draft day instead of two...

Anyway, looking through Red Line's draft guide there are a lot of positives for the Lightning coming out of this draft. Here's how they had the picks the Lightning took rated and, where given, the short blurb about each:

#30 Dana Tyrell: "Love his speed, smarts, and competitiveness."
#54 Luca Cunti: "It's a team game, Luca. It's not all about you."
#62 Alexander Killorn: "Blazing fast playmaker. Stock rising like gas prices."
#100 Mitch Fadden: "Dynamic scorer should've been taken last year."
#160 Matt Marshall: "Bull in a china shop, but has no hands or finesse."
#207 Torrie Jung
#290 Michael Ward

NR Johan Harju
NR Justin Courtnall

The following video file is from the Prince George News cable television, and was shot pre-draft, post-combine.

Tyrell missed being the highest Cougar ever taken by about 12 picks. Blair Betts had him beat.

(Of interest: Some Vlad Mihalik [27] sightings on here, including once at the beginning where he dwarfs Tyrell [19], and once at the end with him standing moving into the crease on the PP)
