Isles To Take Tavares: "We Want The Same Guy"

In a story for TSN.ca Garth Snow is quoted as saying;

"Well, when we won the draft lottery (on April 14) I was asked if I knew who we
were going to take, I said at the time that I had a pretty good idea but that I wasn't firmly committed to it until we went through the process of doing our due diligence on all the top guys. Let's just say the process re-affirmed what I thought back then. We want the same guy now that we wanted back then."

Isles say the Islanders are taking Tavares.
