New York Islanders Top 25 Under 25: At #6, Shane Prince nice add for a 3rd-round pick

As you've no doubt noticed if you've followed along our Spring 2016 Top 25 Under 25, the Islanders' supply of high-end young talent has taken a hit as several players have aged off this list. The rebuild has matured, the days of easy additions of top-of-the-draft talent a think of the past.

So adding a help-you-now 23-year-old like Shane Prince for a third-round pick (the one fetched for Andrey Pedan) was a smooth move by general manager Garth Snow.

A top-line guy, like he was thrust into upon his debut next to John Tavares?
