#isles nation of the more realistic options who would be your desired pick at #13
The poll is a week long!!! Giving everyone time to do some homework
#NHLDraft
From SJ’s prospective, there’s your number 1 shutdown left defenseman, and now a SERIOUS 1-2 punch of Celebrini,Barzal down the middle. Yes an expensive price but SJ can afford it given the draft capital and prospect pool they have
Don’t think it would happen but how would islanders fans feel about #2, #20, and Eklund for Barzal, Pelech, and George or something like that. I don’t even know how I feel about that, just a hypothetical
#isles
Hear me out #isles fans
Detroit is not the place to be
Patrick Kane is a UFA
-Mat barzal looked up to him growing up
- would help the power play
Showtime to the island?? 🏝️
@IslesUpNorth I think #1 is the most appealing. Then you get that Pelech Eklund deal done with SJ!! Finally big UFA splash with Raddysh!!!!
W.Eklund-Horvat-Barzal
V.Eklund-Larkin-Ritchie
Schenn-Pageau-Palmieri
Engvall-Cizikas-Heineman
Schaefer-Raddysh
Romanov-Pulock
DeAngelo-Mayfield

I'd expect #Isles to check in on Larkin (NTC), as every team likely will.
But unless Darche is suddenly willing to move top prospects — something he wasn't prepared to do at the trade deadline — or build a package around Barzal, it's hard to envision NYI as a contender.
