Lightning Trade Up in the 1st For Carter Ashton

The Tampa Bay Lightning traded their 2nd round pick, #32 overall and their #75 overall to Detroit for the #29 pick and selected forward Carter Ashton out of Lethbridge of the WHL. Ashton is 6'3", 205 lbs. Here's the scouting report from Central Scouting - NHL Director of Central Scouting E.J. McGuire"Carter is a solid prototypical power forward; he knows the game and really is astute at the power-play and penalty kill, offensive and defensive parts of his game. He has been complimented for being hockey smart, perhaps the savvy coming from his dad who played 998 games in the NHL."Lethbridge Hurricanes head coach Michael Dyck"He is a power forward, for a big guy he skates well, he's strong, he's got a pretty good skill set, he shoots the puck pretty well and he goes to the net hard. I think that is essentially why he's had success this year."
