Islanders Looking to Move Up

The New York Islanders will make the first overall selection in the upcoming NHL Draft. IslesSay.blogspot.com has learned that they also want to use their 26th overall pick to move further up in the first round. Talks have been steady and are picking up.

Isles say don't rule out the Islanders moving into a second top five selection.

Tavares AND Hedman

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.

Streit for Lecavalier?

Would you trade Streit for Lecavalier? The Isles can choose whomever they want with the first pick. Obviously in this scenario the Isles take Hedman first overall, make the trade, and Tampa Bay takes Tavares second overall.

NYI get Victor Hedman and Vincent Lecavalier

Tampa Bay get John Tavares and Mark Streit

Isles say yes.
