It's Friday and it's a week from the draft and lots of people figure the Isles will trade their 1st-rounder but for whom?
- Jiggs McDonald talked about the Islanders' first season in Brooklyn, the free agents, and even Jean-Francois Berube. [THW]
- Rick Vaive says the Leafs shouldn't target Steven Stamkos now, they should target John Tavares in 2018 (and also adds more amplification to the "always serious" Tavares experience). [Sportsnet]
- We doubt he'll be there at #19, but in the SB Nation mock draft we selected Jake Bean.
