7:55pm update: Was just announced that the Islanders have swapped the #5 pick with Toronto for the #7 pick overall. This may mean that Bryan McCabe has waived his no trade clause and could be coming back to the Island. Stay tuned....
7:35pm update: Well, the obvious is over. Steven Stamkos went to Tampa Bay. Dre Doughty went to LA. So that nixes the previous rumor of an LA\NYI swap. I'd be shocked if Bogosian doesn't go next to Atlanta. That should leave Pietrangelo or Filatov for the Islanders depending on what St. Louis does at #4.
The 2008 NHL Entry Draft is 15-20 minutes away! Stay tuned to the islesinfo blog and islesinfo.com for updates of all the action and Islanders picks!!!
