I took a week off and it seems like news is coming left and right out of Islanders country. Tuesday night the Islanders won the draft lottery giving them the first pick in this years draft with the only question remaining Tavares or Hedman? Garth Snow has been careful not to tip his hand at what he intends to do with the pick as Toronto GM Brian Burke 
Is looking to trade up for that first pick for Tavares. Along with the perpetuated idea through the Toronto media that John Tavares is rightful property of the Leafs and that the Islanders don’t deserve him, including one Toronto reporter telling Chris Botta of Islanders Point Blank that hockey doesn’t matter on Long Island. Infuriating yes, but we will move on with the other news of the week. Kyle Okposo was selected to play for team USA in the world Championships in Switzerland along side coach Scott Gordon who was selected to be assistant coach there. Mark Striet will also be there representing his home town Switzerland. Okposo will also play in both Sound Tiger playoff games this week at the Coliseum.

Nice blog! There's no way Garth can trade that No. 1 pick. We have to pick Tavares, no question about it. We need a player who can be the face of the franchise.
