When looking at the biggest needs for the Islanders, a dynamic offensive play is first on the list.  Isles Twitter has agreed that Toronto darling (or maybe villain at this point) Mitch Marner is the Islanders number one target.  Due to the cap issues the Leafs are having, they are ...

As a fanbase it is very difficult to wrap our heads around the fact that the Islanders have gone from sweeping away the Pittsburgh Penguins to being in danger of suffering the same fate at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes.  What has led to this and is there a ...

Outside of a few recent offensive outbursts last week, the Islanders still find themselves struggling to score goals.  This is one of those circumstances where the obvious answer is the right one.  The Isles must use their final callup on Josh Ho-Sang.  While he is not the savior that many ...
