Historically, there’s been some duds that the New York Islanders both drafted and traded for. Players that you thought would be a good fit for the team, who never quite lived up to that expectation.
Yesterday, FanDuel put out a tweet asking fans for players who they thought would be good but just never made it. It got me thinking of some Islanders ones.
For me, my biggest one is Ryan Strome. Yes, he had a 50 point season in 2014-2015 but when he was drafted fifth overall I thought he would John Tavares’ long-term running mate.
