BPA or trade, not filling an immediate home with the 13th pick. What about trading down, maybe end up with a late 1st and another 2nd, something like that? The odds of the 13th pick becoming a productive NHL player isn’t much better than that of a late 1st or 2nd rounder.

NHL Combine: Brad Lambert, No. 10 in Central Scouting's ranking of International skaters, did interview with the Islanders, but Uncle Lane (Isles coach) wasn't there. Lambert has 26 interviews w/ NHL clubs this week.
Brad Lambert on learning that Uncle Lane got the job w/ the #Isles: "He's worked hard for some time now as an assistant coach and I think he deserved the job. So I'm very happy for him."

I don't think I would easily part with our first this year. I might be ok with moving our 2nd rd pick, since it's at the very end of rd 2 anyway.
But the 13th overall pick may be our best shot to land a top line player, either up front or on D.
Also, I think there may be some value in picking one of the top ranked Russian players in this draft.

I see the talk about using our pick in a trade for Fiala. I don't think I am doing that.

Trading the pick is fine if it’s in a deal for an impact type player, no way they should move it for a 2nd liner or # 4 defensman. I’m even on the fence with Chychrun. If the team is given some more offensive freedom under Lambert, how much does that improve Pulock and maybe even Salo’s games? I’m still hoping they pair up Dobson with Pelech as the top pairing and then maybe can save a few bucks/trade chips “only” needing a solid # 4 with Pulock.Last edited by Scott; 3 days ago.
