New York Islanders: Recapping the 2020 NHL Draft
The New York Islanders didn’t have a ton of picks in this year’s draft. Here’s what they did with those picks.
It was a draft to forget for the New York Islanders. To be fair they didn’t have much to work with, not making a selection until the third round, and they made some questionable decisions with the picks they did have.
The Islanders lost their first and second-round picks to the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline in exchange for Jean-Gabriel Pageau.
They got off to a controversial start with their first pick of the draft, the 90th overall. With that pick, they selected Swedish right-winger Alexander Ljungkratz.
