John Tavares could very well be the top pick at the NHL draft on Friday night. The Islanders have the first selection, as reported by the Associated Press. ?I?ve worked very hard to get where I am,? said Tavares, who turns 19 on September 20. ?I?ve really changed a lot of things that I needed to to get myself for the next level and it?s always been my dream to play in the National Hockey League so (Friday) is one step towards that.?
