Winged Migration
The Lightning traded up with San Jose to #73 to select Radek Smolenak, a left wing from the Kingston Frontenacs.
The other side of center gets addressed with pick #92 as the Lightning goes European yet again, selecting Marek Bartanus, a Slovak who was just drafted during the Import Draft by the Owen Sound Attack of the OHL.

Bartanus is probably going to make a lot of Bolts fans happy in the future - I wish Nashville could’ve gotten their hands on him. Instead we selected more defensemen.
