Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois announced Saturday that they have signed forward Jack Finley to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Finley, 18, has spent the last two seasons playing in the WHL for the Spokane Chiefs. While his rookie season saw him manage just 19 points in 63 games, this past season saw him really branch out, as he was able to score 19 goals and add 38 helpers in 61 contests. In 14 of those games, he was able to put up two or more points.
As a result of the much-improved season, the Lightning selected Finley with their second round pick (57th overall) at this year's NHL Entry Draft. On top of his clear offensive skill, the Kelowna, B.C. native also stands at a massive six-foot-six, 213 pounds.
