The New York Islanders Initial Roster Is Set, What Does This Tell Us About This Team?



The New York Islanders Initial Roster Is Set, What Does This Tell Us About This Team?

The New York Islanders initial roster is set and although there are only 22 players on it due to cap constraints, the team seems to be improved a bit on paper as compared to last season. We break down the roster and the line combinations and discuss the differences between this year’s team and last season’s club.

Plus, Oliver Wahlstrom surprised a lot of people by making the initial roster but now he’ll be playing on the fourth line. We discuss his new role and his opinion of it and how the fourth line will be different this season because it will play a different style of hockey.

And the Isles are one team interested in another Russian goal scorer in the KHL. We discuss Maxim Shabanov and what it would take for the Isles to bring him in.

All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

  1. I don't know where isles fit 26 in line-up? Probably 26 needs to find his niche as a third liner who can chip in around 15 goals per season. Not suited for 4th line d responsible duty. Not adapt enough to play on top 2 lines because of scoring inconsistency. Maybe 26, 44, 27 and 10, 53, 32 bottom six lines. 11, 14, 13 and 7, 29, 21 should start season as top six. At least 18 isn't on roster to drag any line he plays on down with him-for now. Probably a roy call on that one.
