All the talk for months has been that the New York Islanders have to take John Tavares, nephew of Mr. Bandit by the same name, with the No. 1 pick tonight in Montreal. But as the days go by, you keep hearing more and more chatter about Swedish defenseman Victor Hedman or even Brampton center Matt Duchene.
Go here for TSN's capsules on the top prospects.
So you play Garth Snow for a minute and be the Isles GM. (I didn't say be Matthew Barnaby or Steve Shields and pound Garth Snow --- classic Sabres brawls at those links).
Think as Snow for a minute: Who do you pick?
Do you risk the PR disaster of not taking Tavares? Do you risk not taking Hedman, a Lidstrom type on defense? Tough call.
Make your choice below and then be sure to vote in our poll on who should be the Sabres' No. 1 pick.
