The NHL schedule is cyclical, so maybe it’s fitting that this year’s NHL Draft is literally taking place at Sphere.

The first round will be held at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, June 28 (ESPN, Sportsnet, TVA Sports). Day two will cover rounds 2-7 beginning at 11:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, June 29 (NHL Network, Sportsnet, TVA Sports).

The Islanders currently have six picks in this year’s draft, including three in the first two rounds:

R1 – Pick 20 (TBL --> CHI --> NYI)

R2 – Pick 54 (LAK --> PHI --> CHI --> NYI)

R2 – Pick 61 (VAN --> CHI --> NYI)

R4 – Pick 115

R5 – Pick 147

R6 – Pick 179

If the Islanders keep their first-round pick, it would mark the first time since 2019 (Simon Holmstrom) the Isles have selected in the first round.

The Isles dealt their 2023 first-round pick to Vancouver for Bo Horvat, and previously traded their three previous picks for Alexander Romanov (2022), Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac (2021) and for JG Pageau (2020), respectively.
