The New York Islanders were close to landing the fourth-overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, but were ultimately turned off by the exorbitant asking price.
The New York Islanders and the Utah Mammoth discussed a deal that would have sent the fourth-overall pick to Long Island.
According to insider David Pagnotta, the Isles ultimately nixed the deal as the Mammoth wanted Mathew Barzal in return.
