DO NOT KILL ME!
If the Islanders are going to have a rough season, and even if they are not going to have a rough season I thought why not begin talking about the prospects now?
Jack Hughes is my answer for this squad. I know they won't have a chance to draft him, but this season is shaping up to be a bad one and Hughes may be our playoff race. He would be the one year turnaround Lamoriello wants and instantly add 50 points to the lineup in his rookie year.
Kaapo Kakko seems like an interesting high pick as well. He's a Euro so at least he cannot go play for the hometown team.
One other guy I have been interested in is Alexander Newhook. He just makes you want to be on the edge of your seat similar to Barzal when he has the puck on his stick.
