Islanders Have Great Draft Options With 2nd Round Picks

The New York Islanders currently own the 54th and 61st overall picks in the 2024 Draft, courtesy of a recent trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Islanders have a great history in the Lou Lamoriello era in Round 2, drafting players such as Danny Nelson, Aatu Raty, and Samuel Bolduc. Now with the chance to make two selections in the second round for the first time since 2018, they have the ability to strengthen their prospect pool. The Islanders' strategy with these picks should be to take the best player available.
