Fifth Business Despite not having a first-rounder in 2015 after dealing the pick for Thomas Vanek, New York Islanders GM Garth Snow is not guarding his 2014 first-rounder too closely. The Islanders - who hold the fifth overall pick in Fridays Draft - are apparently open for business on the pick, according to Newsdays Arthur Staple. "Were open to trading the pick for someone we think can come in and help us right away," Staple quoted Snow as saying. So whats the cost of doing business? Staple speculates that the Islanders largest need is either a top-pair defenseman or a top-line left winger to complement John Tavares and Kyle Okposo. Blues Festival The St. Louis Blues could be on many teams watch list for potential free agents targets. With the team locking up Jay Bouwmeester and Alexander Steen prior to free aggency, the team could be posied to flood the market with veteran talent on July 1, according to Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Zach Ertz Jersey.

While the likes of Marian Gaborik, Ales Hemsky, Jussi Jokinen or Mike Cammalleri could be had, McLellan believes the Yotes should think smaller and deeper. She suggests the likes of Brenden Morrow and Daniel Winnik would provide a better complement to the current Coyotes crop, that could also get an internal boost if 2013 first-rounder Max Domi makes the jump to the NHL.
