Today more encouraging new came out of Islanders country as Islanders Point Blank spoke with John Tavares, the projected number one pick in this years Draft. In the phone interview Tavares said this to Chris Botta,
“Once and for all, I want to be clear that it would be a privilege to be drafted by the New York Islanders. Please let everyone know that. I can’t believe some of the stuff that’s been out there. I like the Canadian media and I’m on the web reading like everyone else, but some it has gotten out of hand. I don’t know where they get that stuff.”Tavares is showing his commitment to playing for whatever team picks him by searching out Chris Botta to get his message directly to the fans of Long Island. Tavares also discussed his meeting on the Island with Management including reveling he spent the two nigh two day affair at Garth Snow’s home. Also Greg Logan reported that Snow has a pretty good idea about what he plans to do with the top pick this June. Wang will once again make a stop on WFAN tomorrow this time with Mike Francesca at 5:30 so encourage all my readers to tune into WFAN 660.

Nice interview posted with John Tavares.
ReplyDeleteIt's insane to think or believe for a second NYI won't select Tavares. They need a star and a goal scorer. Tavares is just that.
People are picking out flaws in Tavares because he's been at the top of the draft for what feels like forever. He's the best player and arguably could of been drafted last year (drafted, not play in the NHL).
Good to see him get out there and talk highly about playing in NYI!
Chris Botta of slanders Point Blank had the interview he deserves the credit and yes iv said this from the beginning the Islanders should draft Tavares
