There isn’t a generational talent available at the 2017 NHL Draft, so the Isles don’t have to be worried about missing out on the lottery. Though the odds weren’t in their favor in the slightest.
But at 15 the Isles have a number of options available. We’ll look at Halifax native Shane Bowers.
We put him at 19 in our Mock Draft. Giving him to the San Jose Sharks as they try to decide if they’re done with the aging bearded core, or if they’ll give it another kick of the can.
What He Offers
Playing for the Waterloo Black Hawks of the USHL, Bowers put up 51 points in 60 games pushing the team to Western Conference final.
