Ok so draft John Tavares already. There have been some rumblings of an option to get Hedman and Duchene. Instead.
Isles say let's get Tavares AND Hedman.
Not possible? Sure it is. Would be easier if a clause (a no brainer) in the Guerin trade also gave the Islanders the Pens '09 first round pick if Pittsburgh wins the cup, but we'll work with what we've got. The Islanders take Tavares first overall, Tampa Bay is on the clock. Tampa Bay trades the second overall pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft and forward Ryan Malone to the New York Islanders for the 26th and 37th picks in the draft and defenseman Mark Streit. The New York Islanders select, from Modo of the Swedish Elite League, defenseman Victor Hedman.
