It took a little longer than expected, but Brayden Point finally heard his name called in the third round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

The Moose Jaw Warriors star forward was taken by the Tampa Bay Lightning with 79th overall pick.  The Lightning moved up one spot from 80th to make the selection.

Point led the Warriors with 36 goals and 91 points in 72 games last season and has 149 career points in 144 WHL games.
