Value of: Islanders 1st Rounder (12th ov)

[sebsisles]

What would you trade for the Islanders 12th overall pick? Looking for defense and possibly a center if JT walks. I think the Isles could have one of the two picks avaiable for the right player.

The isles aren't trading that pick for an average #2C, and they aren't getting a #1C for it either.

If JT leaves there is no rush to speed up the rebuild, draft the BPA and be patient.

I would not be surprised if the isles moved packaged one of the first + Nelson for a durable ,reliable top 4.

I do not see them moving either 1st for a center.I think Barzal slides into that #1 center spot and they either sign a ufa for the 2nd line spot or give Beau every chance to grab that spot.

If JT walks, the Isles will be the ones trading players for draft picks and not the other way around. Lee, Eberle, and Nelson are all probably gone.

Islanders need to trade those picks for defense more then Center. If Tavares leaves then option B to me would be try sign Bozak or Stastny

I get where you're coming from. I guess i am just holding onto some small slim hope that we are actually active this offseason and make some smart moves. Its rough being an Isles fan haha

If JT is signed, then 1 of the 2 picks along with maybe Nelson or 1 of the 2 2nd rounders should be used to upgrade the D. if JT walks, use the picks and look for a UFA center in the meantime

I think both are good fits, should get interesting once Jt makes up his mind.

Another outside the box option for center is both Lee and Bailey were drafted as Centers. Move one of them back to that spot(all that being said given Lee's skating I think Bailey is the safer bet).

Basically

Lee-Bailey-Ho Sang

I'd have to agree, deff feel safer with Bailey at C. i think his game translates better to C and is better defensively.

Thats fine, i am looking to see what kind of value we can get for the pick. Being that we have 2 first rounders back to back i wanted to see what was out there. Agree with your logic if Jt walks tho!

No to both notions. Bailey is a wing, not a center.
