Islanders Offseason News: The silly season begins with the NHL Draft tonight

The first round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft kicks off tonight at 7:00 p.m. EDT on NBCSN. Rounds 2–7 will take place tomorrow starting at 11:30 a.m. EDT on NHL Network. And then the free agency period opens Friday at noon EDT. Busy week in the NHL.

The Islanders don’t have a pick in this round or the second round tomorrow, as of now—both are owned by the Senators from the Jean-Gabriel Pageau trade—but the trade market figures to be wild this year as teams try to shift salary around before free agency while making their annual tweaks.
