Watch as Taylor Raddysh scores an impressive goal. But what might be more impressive in the call by the announcer.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Taylor Raddysh to a three-year, entry-level deal, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced Monday.

A native of Caledon, Ont., Raddysh currently plays for the OHL-champion Erie Otters. He is coming off a season in which he recorded 109 points with a plus-67 rating in 58 regular-season games. His 67 assists led the league.

Raddysh also enjoyed success in the post-season, scoring 12 goals to go along with 19 assists during the Otters’ run to the J. Ross Robertson Cup.

The 58th overall pick in the 2016 draft skated for Team Canada at the 2017 IIHF world junior hockey championships, notching six points in seven games.
