New York Islanders Scoop Up Bode Wilde With 41st Overall Pick
The New York Islanders stop another talented defenseman sliding down the draft board as they select Bode Wilde with the 41st overall pick. Wilde was projected to be a mid-to-late first-round selection but fell potentially due to concerns about his consistency and responsibility in his own end. At 6'4" and 198 pounds, Wilde has the size to compliment his hard-nosed style of play and should help ease his transition to the NHL. Wilde is also comfortable carrying the puck up on the rush, and likely has a regular power-play role in the future due to his strong right-handed shot. He will play in the OHL this upcoming year but could challenge for a roster spot as soon as the season after.
