Enough arena talk from one day right? Today in New York Islanders land I’d like to discuss the expansion draft. On June 21, 2017 the NHL expansion draft will take place at this point we know the drill.
The Islanders will lose a player to the new franchise, it’s a matter of who it is that the Isles are going to lose. Here’s a look at a prediction from Matthew Blittner.
He believes that the Isles will use the 7-3-1 mode of protection. Meaning that the Isles will protect seven forwards, three defenseman and just one goalie.
