" Isn't until late June -- Marty got a firm idea what the New York Islanders should do it and I'm."
" One -- well I mean they have to explore other options greatness is a huge case. Like Sidney Crosby's it was like -- of those -- it was. And the team that John -- one player isn't going to take them and excellently do you have another -- late in the first round you have another couple second -- but. If they get a really good return -- trade that pick but only if you know you get one or two. Good emerging prospects and you can't say no more than six -- seven Boston -- you can get another top ten guy in his draft as well it's a whole lot more. Building to do taveras is great but he does. Question is not saying he's not going to hand he's had his expectations are so high. Right that I mean trade didn't even get in return oral and a I don't know that."
" You can say this is Sidney Crosby your house of asking type player I mean he who as you said at the end there he does -- question -- specialist -- skating. He's obviously these scores big goals when they're needed most and that's very important. But in terms of trading him I mean he is the name guy in this -- the Islanders needed name big time. They needed new arena they need someone to build the entire franchise around so I mean I would say be crazy to trade the number one -- This is the one that you definitely don't trade this is like a Sidney Crosby pick in in the fact that he is he's a franchise."

" Victor -- at times creep up to take the number one ranking. Matt do Shane has thrown his name. Into the top three at least in the last little while and another wild card out there might be -- count of the Spokane -- big -- he's been banged up. Our -- this year do you see somebody stepping up to take him a little higher than he's currently ranked I."
" For sure I mean as -- to say like -- this -- play for two years now they know what he's capable of and at Columbine in Toronto this weekend they're going to be getting. Doctor reports that you know explaining the extent of the injury and he's going to be able to bounce back from. It's not real big concern they know it is guys immigrant they know what he's capable of I mean he's a huge defenses around the same -- victor Hedman. You've got to take that he's not going to slip that far at all."
" Yeah talk about flying under the radar in this -- really nobody even knew abode until last year's memorial cup and and that's -- you know 1617 and look at with a gigantic grizzly man -- shows up on the scene. Dominance that tournament. And knowledge is all that's like number three to begin the year that has dropped off because it put the ACL. But yeah that I don't know if he goes top three maybe top floor but you could trade down those those 34 teams could trade down -- probably get six or seven. No matter where the future millionaires land on NHL draft day you'll find all the info and analysis on the hockey news.com."
