"The overall consensus is that Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg are the top two top players in this year's draft and could very easily be taken first and second overall."
"Though the Islanders have done a phenomenal job at rebuilding their prospect pool, there is still plenty of work to be done."
"If they elect to go the route of power forward, there should be plenty of options for skilled players with size."
"The Islanders will have their pick of a number of players who will be a welcome addition to the organization and will hopefully be able to help."
The NY Islanders had a 2% chance to move up in the NHL Draft Lottery but ended up with the 13th overall pick. The Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks moved up to first and second overall, respectively. Top prospects include Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg, with defensemen Chase Reid, Keaton Verhoeff, Carson Carels, and center Caleb Malhotra also highly regarded. The Islanders need to address their right-side defense and have options like Daxon Rudolph or Ryan Lin, while skilled forwards with size are also available.
