Leading up to the NHL Entry Draft the New York Islanders traded the 15th overall pick to the Vegas Golden Knights in order for the expansion team to select jean-Francois Berube instead of some of their other roster players.
They also too Mikhail Grabovski’s $5 million deal, defensive prospect Jake Bischoff and a second round pick in 2018.
But the Isles still had business to conduct in picking their next wave of young talent.
Through seven rounds the Isles made five picks – they also didn’t have a fourth-round pick on account of taking San Jose’s last draft.
