15. New York Islanders – Lias Andersson (LW, HV71, SHL)

Andersson spent this season playing against men in the SHL and he’s looking like a very solid prospect. If the Islanders see him on the board at 15th, they shouldn’t hesitate to take him.

Andersson is an incredible skater and though he’s committed to Frolunda HC for next season, if the Islanders like what they see, it’s possible that he could move to North America in order for the organization to be able to keep a close eye on him.
