Mario Kempe, our 213rd ranked left wing, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Tampa Bay Lightning because they could use a player of this quality to play left wing. The Lightning currently have only 1 healthy left wings, and 1 is rated better than Kempe: (Anthony Duclair).
The Lightning currently have no left wings under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Kempe could see a potential long term contract with the team.
