With renewed interest in the NHL draft because of the Draft Lottery last night, it got me thinking about what the New York Islanders should do come the 2021 draft. And honestly, I hope they don’t go rogue with some of their early picks.
I know the Islanders have drafted well between 2015 and 2018, but that hasn’t necessarily been the case over the last two seasons. A few of their bigger decisions have been met with a lot of skepticism.
