LOGIE & JAFFE SAY DUCH. McK & DREGER, HED.
Also: your predictions for picks 1 and 26

by admin on June 26th, 2009 at 11:40 am

Me, B.D. Gallof and other bloggers who don’t travel with the team predict Tavares. Greg Logan and Billy Jaffe – the Islanders’ only beat writer and the team’s most connected broadcaster – predict Duchene. Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger – the Peter Gammons and Buster Olney of Canada – say it’s Hedman. Be warned. Provide your prediction for tonight. Provide just two names and no conditions: the No. 1 pick and the No. 26 (or earlier) pick. Just two names. Comments.

  10. avatar islestherapy says:

  11. avatar doug f. says:

    1. Taveres
    2. John Moore- They move up by giving up a 1,one of there 2′s and a 3rd…

  12. avatar orngfan says:

    snow isn’t telling anyone. so how can anyone say that one persons connection is better than someone elses? all connections and sources are meaningless until snow takes the podium.

  13. avatar doug f. says:

    sorry about spelling Tavares’ name wrong…but I’m confident they will pick him…

  14. avatar Izzy Franchise says:

    #1: John Tavares

  41. avatar Nick says:

    HOW CAN YOU ALLL DELUDE YOURSELVES? ITS DUCHENE.

    The Isles have leaking setup info through Newsday all week. What a fiasco/circus this is gonna be when Versus shows thousands of Isles fans booing after our selection.

    Garth sucks.

  69. avatar Martin The French Canadian says:

    Tavares
    Despres

  70. avatar Strummer's Army says:

    Deb Placey makes an excellent point. You can usually find complete players but to find a 40-50 goal scorer is rare.

    John Tavares & Zach Kassian.

    Tavares

    And praying that this draft doesnt become known as “the Matt Duchene Draft”

  76. avatar Section 320 rocks!!!!!! says:

    Tavares

    Id hope Kassian but I dont think we will move up that high so maybe Glennie

    BTW #18 I saw a mock that had Ellis slipping to Phi at 21 and Botta has mentioned the friendship between Snow and the Phi GM so if he slips that far Ellis may not be out of the realm.

    #61 – No way Nazem Kadri falls to 15

  81. avatar Gabe says:

    Luke Schenn and Duchene.

    Toronto will cave and trade us Schenn and #7 for Tavares and #31. We will then trade #7, #26, and a third rounder to Colorado for #3 and select Duchene. We will then pick the best available power forward and goalie at #37 and #56.

    Tavares

  95. avatar Tom D 37 says:

    Tavares and Ellis. They might trade another small puck moving d-man (Gervais, Hillen, Ness) to move up.

  96. avatar Heineken says:

    2) Does not matter I will no longer be a fan of this team anymore. But I hope I can tell my children when they watch Garry Betman or who ever the comish is at the time say “John Tavares of the 20__ New York Islanders please come get the Stanly Cup” that I was this great Draft Party when we drafted him and show him the draft ticket.

  104. avatar Chris Mc says:

    Tavares. Ashton.

  105. avatar Hud says:

    Sorry for the second post, but, on XM James Duthie of TSN says the Islanders requested a camera at the coliseum. He says, why would they request a camera to show all their fans boo the pick? It’s JT, no doubt, great job CB for the updates.

  106. avatar murph says:

    Tavares or 22,000 people are burning the Coliseum to the ground tonight.

  107. avatar kabbage says:

    Tavares
    then Ashton
    then Elliot

  108. avatar Coral Springs Isle Fan says:

    Swap pick with Tampa (last minute) as they panic thinking Garth is taking Hedman.

    Pick Tavares # 2

    Use extra pick to add to package and move up big time to get:

    Cowen

  109. avatar -Big Van Vader says:

    1.Tavares
    2. Hedman (Huge trade involving all the remaining picks from this year plus a prospect)

    OR

    2. Kassian (We need size and nastiness up front)

  110. avatar Isles fan Ken says:

    Tavares
    DeHann or best D-man available

  111. avatar matt17 says:

    The TSN analyst makes a goodpoint why would the isles beg tsn for the video feed from the draft party knowing everyone would be going crazy in a bad way. I think its tavares

  112. avatar Josh says:

    1. Duchene
    2. Rajala

  113. avatar Islefan says:

    Any truth to the rumor that Isles asked for the cameraman to be at the colliseum? That would only suggest Tavares. They don’t want to broadcast a riot.

    I have an idea, and it’s my third and final comment in this thread.

    Botta, you always said, “Why not just announce Tavares early?”

    Maybe this is why. Tavares never looked so good unless you’re faced with the threat of having the team take Duchene instead. It would be so anticlimactic. Now, if they take JT, we’re not just happy for the future, but we’re thrilled and relieved at the same time.

    That said, if they take Duchene…I’m going to hide under the covers for a week or so.

    I’ll be the one guy who takes a lunatic plunge as to what the Islanders are gonna do. There will be no 26th pick. Garth will leverage it with prospects and other picks into the #2 overall, taking on a couple of Tampa’s bad contracts (not Vinny L though) in return.

    Better be Tavares. Hedman I can live with cause there’s logic to it. If it’s Duchene, I’ll be just a wee bit annoyed with the front office. And by “a wee bit” I mean totally freakin ballistic.

    26 pick: package it with other picks, move up. Get Kassian!

    1. Tavares
    26. Glennie (will have to move up from 26 though)

  202. avatar Tim says:

    1. John Tavares
    26. They trade up and get David Rundblad

  203. avatar jethro09 says:

    1:John Tavares
    26:Scott Glennie. If they don’t take JT, I don’t care who they pick at #26 since my night will be ruined already.

  204. avatar Brian in VA says:

    Duchene
    NVMC Riots!

  205. avatar FourCupsin4Yearsnot60 says:

    1-John Tavaras
    26-Zach Budish

  206. avatar jcapisles says:

    1. Tavares
    2. Megan Fox

    Great point about Isles requesting camera for the party. If true, that would seal it for me.

  207. avatar Aim says:

    Tavaras
    Ferraro (I hope he is still there)

  208. avatar JAS says:

    1. Tavares
    26. Carter Ashton (moving up)

  209. avatar isles 14 says:

    tavares

    kassain

  210. avatar Jeff says:

    1) John Tavares
    2) Moore D (after a trade to move up)

  211. avatar smitty says:

    Dreger has blogged on his tweetee or whatever: “Garth Snow has done a masterful job of hiding his intentions. Outside of his owner, Charles Wang, no one knows what the Isles intend to do.”

    This reassures me that Jaffe and Logan, as connected as they are, don’t know either.

    Also, why would the Islanders allow TSN to feature the crowd’s reaction tonight after their pick if they know the fans will boo their selection? That would be replayed on TSN and ESPN (maybe not so much on ESPN) for a couple of years and be an embarassment. I don’t think the fans will dictate who they pick but I don’t think they would allow TSN in if they were going to get booed.

  212. avatar Twilightbeckoned says:

    1. Hedman
    26. Holland

    I think the significant point here is that regardless of which pick of the assigned “top 3″, as true isles supporters we really need to show up and support the team. We really can’t lose here, now we just gotta back the team.

  213. avatar mike says:

    Since this is a prediction, and not what I want to happen:

    1. Duchene
    26. Doesn’t matter. There will be no Islanders fans left. I will vote for Kate Murray.

  214. avatar Spartiarti - RVC says:

    1- Tavares
    2- Best Dman or LW over 200lbs.

  215. avatar jethro09 says:

    I don’t want to hear about “supporting the team regardless of who they pick”. Its time they did the right thing by the fans and stop “thinking outside the box”. Take Tavares and be done with it.

  216. avatar Irish Isle says:

    1. John Tavares
    Trading up for Zach Kassain

  217. avatar miket239 says:

    i want Hedman or Duchesne.

  218. avatar Twilightbeckoned says:

    completely arbitrary, I’d rather see us pick up defense. I’m not gonna bash the team if they pick tavares, but I don’t want that to be the pick. Either way I’ll still support us. I want the fans to show up and pack the house, we need it.

  219. avatar TuxTax says:

    Why am I so nervous Islander Oracle?

    Tavares, Phil Kessel (trade with the Boston Bruins For our 26,31 and 37 picks)

  238. avatar Greg says:

    #1 Tavares
    #26 Stefan Elliot D WHL

    but i think they should move up to get Schroeder if he’s still there between 14 and 17.

  239. avatar JC Frank says:

    Taveres and Chicken Parms’ Kid

  240. avatar JerryC says:

    1-Tavares
    2-Rundblad

  241. avatar KO21 says:

    #1 better be Tavares or I’m gonna slit my wrists…Just kidding but it would really be a stunning blow…

    For our 26th pick I expect to be moved up by trade of some sorts to around 17-18 and I think we will get a D-Man or a possible goalie…Sorry but I dont know much about anyone else and don’t care…All I care about is John Tavares and if Logan and Jaffe are right, It would be a “nightmare” come true…

    Why would Logan or Jaffe know anything more than Chris Botta???They are all guesses and the best guess is Bottas…
