The Islanders dealt their own second-round pick to Arizona in Andrew Ladd trade last season.

 

The Islanders dealt their fourth-round pick to the New Jersey Devils as part of the trade for Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac last season. They also dealt their seventh-round pick to the Ottawa Senators for Braydon Coburn last season.

 

This marks the third time the Islanders have picked 13th overall. The Islanders drafted Derek King in 1985 and Dean Chynoweth in 1987. Recent notable picks at 13 include: Dustin Brown (2003), Lars Eller (2007), Jakub Vrana (2014) and Nick Suzuki (2017).
