After much speculation over who the New York Islanders would choose as their number #1 draft pick, they have selected John Tavares!!! Right up until the very last second, people weren’t sure if the Isles would choose Victor Hedman.
I think the Islanders really have struggled to create an identity and presence on the ice and I think that Tavares is the right player at the right time for them. I think he’s an incredible player (this year he had 58 goals in 56 games) and I’m really looking forward to watching the Islanders next season.
