The Islanders have selected Josh Bailey in the first round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. I'm sure you know all the details about him. Personally, I was confused watching the draft unfold. I understand the philosophy of stockpiling picks, but when you have two in the second and two in the third already is there really any point in acquiring more? They kept saying they got the guy they wanted and got more picks, all things that dumb people are supposed to believe. This is what would sound good to me: The Islanders select Nikita Filatov fifth overall. And just keep the 4 picks between the second and third round. Since we are all Islander fans it is natural for us to be pessimistic and critical of every move because we have been abused more than Michael Vick's pitbulls, but can we let Josh Bailey put on the jersey before we start to kill the kid?
Anyway lets weigh the differences between Josh Bailey and Nikita Filatov
Nikita Filatov
- Tried out for the role of oompa-loompa in the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
- Shares a name with a show I never watched on USA called La Femme Nikita
- Shares the same first name as former First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khruschev
- Looks nasty on youtube clips
Josh Bailey
- Shares the same name as a delicious alcoholic Irish beverage, Bailey's Irish Cream
- ......That's it
Edge: Bailey
I would have to disgrace my Irish roots if a picked a Russian over a Canadian that has the same last name as Bailey's Irish Cream.
