It’s almost been ten years since the last time the New York Islanders drafted first overall (the fourth time in team history) in the 2009 NHL Draft. As we get close to 2019’s draft day I thought it would be interesting to play revisionist history with the Isles 2009 draft class.
My goal was to look back at the Islanders 2009 draft picks and see if there was anyone better on the board that the New York Islanders could have and maybe even should have taken over the player they actually drafted.
What I’m doing here is looking at all of the Islanders picks from 2009.
