A video has gone viral showing the entire TB Lightning scouting department in fits over the lack of scouting talent and skill set displayed by the Islanders at the 2021 NHL entry draft. GM agulati was overheard saying that hiring Pierre McGuire had been the most boneheaded decision of the season, till theScorpion stepped on the podium and selected Logan Stankoven. “Nothing against the kid, but such a reach. Leave it to the Isles to screw up a draft when they actually have picks to make. Wouldn’t matter though since he probably gets flipped for a dozen neon shoelaces and a pair of second hand chipped skate blades.”
The loudest cheers or jeers were during the first round when Isles top target Matthew Coronato was picked just prior to the Isles heading to the podium. The leaked Islanders draft list had one name of value. To watch them miss out on that is absolutely worth the couple of hours wasted hearing their GM celebrate every fifth round pick made as the second coming of Lightning future legend Sean Couturier. Islanders should just stick to moving their future picks for AHL depth plugs like Stefan Noesen as opposed to drafting future ECHL all stars and beer league legends.
