As if Steven Stamkos, Ondrej Palat, Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov weren't enough, Brayden Point is a supremely talented offensive-minded center who will in all likelihood become a solid contributor at the NHL level.

Vladimir Namestnikov has already looked quite good in short flashes for the Lightning this season, and holds plenty of promise for the future.

There are some defensive concerns here, but Anthony DeAngelo projects to be a great puck mover at the next level. He may make for a good fit alongside Victor Hedman one day.

Probably the best goaltender not already playing in the NHL, Andrey Vasilevskiy may have to wait a while for his big break; Ben Bishop will be between the pipes for Tampa Bay for the foreseeable future.
