The Islanders seem to have an allergy to drafting in the first round under Lou Lamoriello, but all things considered, their draft record since the general manager took over in May 2018 is not so bad.
That, however, has as much to do with the team making just 16 picks from 2020-22 as the actual record of the players drafted. The only time the Islanders have used their full stock of picks under Lamoriello was in his first draft in 2018, when they left Dallas with an eight-man class highlighted by Noah Dobson and Oliver Wahlstrom.
It is certainly possible — if not likely — that dealing away more picks will be necessary if the Islanders choose to prioritize moving Josh Bailey’s entire cap hit over the replenishment of their system.
