In a surprising turn of events, the Islanders have secured the first overall pick in the draft lottery despite entering with the 13th pick. This development adds intrigue to the current general manager vacancy, as the right leadership could transform the team into a perennial contender or even championship-caliber squad. With a strong core featuring Matt Barzal Noah Dobson, and goalie Ilya Sorokin, the potential for success is significant. The Islanders’ last first pick was John Tavares, and if they can select a player similar caliber, it would undoubtedly be a franchise changing pick.
