The Islanders problem is that they didn't tank. Outside of Tavares (who is working out great for them) they have had too many picks outside of the top 3. Okoposo at 7, Strome at 5, Bailey at 9, Neiderreiter at 5.
It is those years where they were bad but not low enough to get the top end talent that have left them with meh or bust guys and little play-off games to show for it.
