The New York Islanders signed forward Simon Holmstrom to a one-year contract and it was slightly less than his qualifying offer. We’ll talk about the deal, what it means for Holmstrom and the Islanders and discuss why this is such an important season for the former first round pick.
Plus, the arbitration date has been set for Oliver Wahlstrom. We break down the importance of the date and what it means for both Wally and the team.
And the Isles finally have a player on The Athletic’s top 100 NHL prospects under the age of 23. Cole Eiserman ranked high and we discuss the impact of that as well.
Plus our Islanders birthday of the day is a player who I rank as the top skater in Isles history.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Yee Haw louzer got his 11 g scorer signed. Which means its bye bye to the other bust 26 now. Isles are now 50 k over the cap. Louzer has no wiggle room now. Blows are gonna ltir krug for season giving them $6.5 mil in cap space. I wonder if blows would be interested in 27 or 44? Some say 44 is good for duclair since they played together on sens. This deal for 10 sounds like the one year minimum prove it deal 26 got last off-season. Get ready for another season of middling for a playoff spot. Louzer should be thankful wings re-build is taking forever and that sabres can't get their shit together. Typical louzer squeezing the same old line-up into the little cap space isles have except for duclair taking the 15, 17, 26 $$$'s. Same old louzer wash rinse repeat….
Hey Gil, so this means that 26 is going to be traded. This team looks better with the 2 new additions… Lou did well for the time being. To be totally honest, he can't do much… have to wait until Lee's contract expires.
