Sam Bolduc is not an NHLer lol, and Boquvist is not a guy with upside anymore. The best young D with upside on the team are Dobson (R), Romonov (L), George (L), Pulkkinen (L), and maybe Odulius (L). Schaefer is much better than any of those guys but it wouldn’t be too crazy if they went with Misa (or Hagens who’s from LI and grew up an islanders fan even if it’s a little bit of a reach)
misa islanders need offense..
islanders are a terrible offensive team … they need the best scorer in the draft and that is misa..
Can you please explain how Schaefer, who missed most of the season, did not drop below Misa who had 134 points? What if Schaefer didn’t continue his dominance. His potential is mostly imagined due to his play at the beginning but you have no idea if he was gonna fall off. I just want to know the justification for taking him over Misa.
