The Hockey News mock draft video, picks 4-6. First three were Yakupov, Murray, Grigorenko in that order. That videos here if you want to see some video on those three guys. http://www.thehockeynews....-Mock-Draft-Picks-13.html

I'm not too high on Foresberg from what little I know, seems like a project and we don't need a project right now. I say Murray or Galley or Grigorenko from what little I admittedly know

I think it's going to be one of the three you mentioned, with Forsberg as a dark horse fourth.

Like I mentioned before...Murray, Grigorenko, and Dumba have been to the Island so far with four more on the way before next Friday.

I'd go with Murray, Grigorenko, and Dumba. I'm not high on Forsberg, He's 2-3 years away I think from the NHL. With that being said the Islanders will draft Forsberg

Dumba scares me. Great upside, but huge risk. I hate his size. It works for him in Jr's but he's not going to be freight-training guys like that in the big leagues. If I'm ranking guys...Grigorenko, Gally, Murray..in that order.

We just cut three coaches. To cut salaries don't you need to have people making salary? I'm not sure how much further the Isles can cut?

We don't know if these people were fired or if their contracts expired. If they were fired it means they are paid to stay home and even more people have to be paid.

Gordon, Nolan, Stirling, Laviolette, Goring were all paid not to coach.

My order, for whatever that's worth, would be Murray, then Grigorenko. If both are gone by then, I'd look to trade the pick. If someone goes crazy and makes a good offer for a solid roster player that fills a long-term need for the Isles, go for it. Otherwise, I'd trade back a few spots while adding one or more second or third round picks like in 2008, then select whoever's left out of Galchenyuk-Dumba-Reinhart, maybe Forsberg or Trouba if I'm really unlucky and the other three are gone.

I like Murray. He's my first choice. I can't see him being gone before the Isles pick at #4 unless Edmonton trades down to #2 or #3 with CBJ or MTL OR if another team swoops in and lands in the #2 or #3 spot specifically to draft Murray. If EDM stays a #1, they're taking Nail. I can't see CBJ drafting a d-man #2 overall when they are looking to replace Nash as the face of the franchise and sell their fans on the future. I also don't see MTL drafting a d-man at #3. I think Murray falls to the Isles at #4. Hopefully, they pick him if he does.

Yeah, I feel like Murray can tie things together for our D prospects. We have some smooth-skating puck movers in the pipeline and some stay-at-home bigger bodies, but not really anyone who excels in all areas like they're saying about Murray.
