In 2014 NHL Entry Draft the New York Islanders selected Michael Dal Colle fifth overall. Before the draft, Dal Colle had himself a fantastic junior career in the OHL with 143 points in 123 games played.
Since being drafted he added another 173 points in 116 games in the OHL between the Oshawa Generals and Kingston Frontenacs. The New York Islanders looked to have a top notch prospect on their hands.
Last season, after finally being eligible for the AHL, Dal Colle spent the season with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers were he was…okay. He put up good numbers with 15 goals and 41 points in 75 games played.
