Islanders place former first round pick on waivers
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the New York Islanders have placed 2016 first round pick Kieffer Bellows on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the AHL's Bridgeport Islanders.
Bellows, 24, was the 19th overall pick in 2016 and hasn't really lived up to expectations as a first round pick. Since making his NHL debut in the 2019-20 season, he's only appeared in 68 games, where he's recorded 25 points, 19 of which came last season.
If Bellows clears waivers at 2 p.m. ET on Thursday, it'll be the first time he's back in the American Hockey League since the 2019-20 season, when he had 31 points (22 goals, nine assists) in 52 games.
