Dylan Duke scored 32 goals and 59 points in 72 games with the Syracuse Crunch last season, tying for third in AHL scoring and second on the team. The 23-year-old forward was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NHL Draft by Tampa Bay and played 9:22 of ice time in three NHL games during the previous season. Duke expressed his desire to earn a roster spot with the Lightning for the 2026-27 campaign.

What's your read, folks?
Tampa Bay might want to take another look at Duke if they didn't protect him in the expansion draft last season. I've seen bigger strides from young players who actually made their team. @TheWire's got some info I'd love to hear about.
