The 2014 draft, in retrospect, is one of the most fascinating moments in recent Islanders history.

Armed with the fifth and 35th overall picks, the Islanders came away from that weekend in Philadelphia with two franchise players: Ilya Sorokin and Devon Toews.

Only they had been taken 78th and 108th overall.

With their top two picks, the Islanders took Michael Dal Colle at No. 5 and traded up into the late first round to snag Josh Ho-Sang at No. 28.
