Player (skaters), Rd./No., Pos., Age, Games, goals, Assists, Points, PIM
Dana Tyrell, 2/47, F, 19, 68, 25, 40, 65, 47
Played for WHL Prince George (juniors) before playing 11 games with AHL Norfolk with a goal and six points; head scout Jake Goertzen said the speedy skater has a chance to eventually play on the top two lines.
Luca Cunti, 3/75, F, 18, 34, 11, 21, 32, 37
Trouble with the NCAA clearinghouse kept him from playing in college but did well with USHL Chicago (juniors); difficult to evaluate given the tumult; Swiss native is expected back in North America next season.
Alex Killorn, 3/77, C, 18, 28, 27, 55, 82, NA
Highly skilled and a terrific skater; starred last season at Deerfield (Mass.) Academy and is headed for Harvard.
Mitch Fadden, 4/107, C, 20, 72, 34, 55, 89, 72
Did so well last season for WHL Lethbridge, the Lightning is making a strong effort to get him signed.
Matt Marshall, 5/150, F, 19, 29, 25, 26, 51, NA
Headed for Vermont after a stellar career at Dedham (Mass.) Nobles High; Goertzen said he is probably the best skater in this class; already 6 feet 1, 185 pounds and has room to grow.
Johan Harju, 6/167, LW, 22, 51, 20, 8, 28, 55
Took a step up in goals and penalty minutes playing in his native Sweden; Lightning wants him in North America, but without a European transfer agreement, it is impossible because he is under contract.
Michael Ward, 7/197, D, 18, 70, 4, 16, 20, 91
Scrappy 6-foot-3, 196-pounder upped his points by 13 and penalty minutes by 52 for QMJHL Lewiston (juniors).
