If the Islanders do end up trading Leddy for offensive help, expect him to make the club out of camp and become an immediate contributor, ala Devon Toews. Bode Wilde (Saginaw, OHL) - Upside. That is the best way to describe Wilde, who was passed up at the draft and ended up falling into the lap of the Islanders. The Islanders could go a cheaper route as they have a number of young AHL players that could be ready to break onto the team, including Oliver Wahlstrom, Otto Koivula and Kieffer Bellows. However, it might be best to have a veteran on hand just in case that the three aren't ready to step in on an everyday basis.
TORONTO — A suffocating defense has become the Islanders' hallmark under Coach Barry Trotz. But the Washington Capitals were well positioned to crack his system in the first round of the N.H.L. The Islanders men host Arlington Baptist, a NCCAA school on Friday at the Dugan before getting another crack at UTRGV at the American Bank Center on Dec. The schedule ramps back up Dec. The New York Islanders appear to have finally found a winning combination for their top-six forward group, even if they are inconsistent at times. Ruslan Iskhakov News / Eyes On Isles / 11 hours ago.
If the Eastern Conference runners-up from a season ago have one major hole that needs to be filled, it is supplemental scoring. The New York Islanders appear to have finally found a winning combination for their top-six forward group, even if they are inconsistent at times. The team needs to find a good combination for the rest of their forwards – the good news for the Islanders is that there are plenty of options to play on the wings next season.
With a good mix of veterans and young prospects, the team can use next season to figure out their best chances of making another strong playoff push. The possibility of expanded rosters could allow even more forwards to be available to the Islanders in what should be a very competitive division.
Top-Six Locks
The Islanders' top two lines should be exactly the same as they were at the end of their deep playoff run a season ago. Jordan Eberle and Anders Lee should return to the top line with Mathew Barzal once he gets his new deal. Lee, the Islanders captain and highest-paid player, posted his lowest goal total since 2015-16 last season but still has the ability to score 30-plus goals with Barzal on his line. Eberle struggled with consistency during the regular season, but impressed during the postseason and should be in good shape to produce again next year.
Veteran New York Islanders defenceman Johnny Boychuk has been forced to retire due to an eye injury he suffered during the 2019-20 season, the team announced Wednesday.
