Comments on: SNOJANKS UPDATED! Tavares % inches upPlus: Pierre McGuire/Point Blank mock draft top 5 http://www.islanderspointblank.com/2009/06/mock/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mock Independent, Daily Coverage Of The New York Islanders Sat, 11 Feb 2012 05:46:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jordan http://www.islanderspointblank.com/2009/06/mock/#comment-68363 Jordan Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:23:36 +0000 http://www.islanderspointblank.com/?p=12094#comment-68363 Tavares is an amazing goal scorer and will help our team if hes drafted. The fact that he broke that record though, you cant think he will surpass Gretzky in the NHL. It was only by 2 goals, he played 3 more games, but didnt put up nearly as many point as Gretzky. Gretzky was always know as a great playmaker over his scoring as well. Either way we will see a great prospect commin our way and thats exciting. I have personally watched Tavares play and while some people say he is one demensional, thats true but he is still a good skater, good passer and good 2 way player. Its just the fact that he is such a great scorer that makes his other attributes SEEM lower. I am just so high on Hedman because when you watch him play your just in awww. Its amazing, watch his clip of being 16-17 years old playing against men and still standing out. He puts up alot of point for a defence too. I think he is a young Lidstrom and every scout I talk to says the same. Tavares is an amazing goal scorer and will help our team if hes drafted.

Take a goalie after that and then Matt Doughty. What would be near perfect is Tavares, Kassian and then 2 or 3 of Tim Erixon, Dylan Olsen, Matthew Clark.

Nope! Sign Anderson as our number 1 because he is a complete beast of a guy, just not well know around the hockey world because he play in FLA. Add Gaborik and our team is a contender Then Colorado will trade up to get Duchene because it has been said by many people close to their managment that they want him VERY bad, and he has grown up loving the AVS and loving Sakic, so can you think of a better replacement for Sakic other then Duchene?

But with all of the doubt hanging over the franchise can/could they REALLY risk NOT drafting Taveres?!?

I know it really doesn't matter but I'd prefer if he had a better number like 29. I hope if the Isles do pick Tavares he picks another number then 91.

If the Isles keep the #1 pick they will draft Taveres. If they move to #3 they will take Duchene, because he will still be there at 3 and there is no reason to draft him #1. This is simple really!

Even if they add a 1A Goaltender and they draft JT, they should never in a million years get rid of their 2010 first rounder or their 2nd rounder either. Stockpile potential players in a balanced way and motivate and train the players to be NHL caliber. Also, one of the biggest items that I am looking forward to in the LH Project is the upgrades to the Training Facilities that this team needs so desperately! Iceworks just doesnt cut it for a professional franchise in modern sports...
