The New York Islanders opened their rookie camp for the 2024-25 season with 23 players hitting the ice on Tuesday. We break down the roster including a few surprises as the Isles start preparations for the new season.
Plus, the Isles signed goalie Keith Kinkaid to a PTO and he was on the ice at rookie camp. We discuss Kinkaid and how he can fit into the organization if he earns a contract, and what this says about the ongoing speculation surrounding Ilya Sorokin.
And we discuss Maxim Tsyplakov who is at rookie camp. His first impression of the team and why he signed with the Isles instead of elsewhere.

Locked On Islanders, awesome video keep up the great content
Doesn't matter. Isles rookie camp means nothing since not one 'rookie' is a threat to make isles. Most are ahl bound with gill, george now ready for ahl duty. And tysplakov is still an unknown to n. am. hockey who still has to earn nhl spot. So sad state isles development and feeder system produces nothing and is weak and mismanaged by louzer as no prospects stick out-no buzz about louzers grade b prospects to get excited about. Doubtful maggio or dufour even if they light it up get an nhl call-up as 18 fritters away a roster spot. Maybe gill will surprise only to be ahl banished forever.
Of note-a recent nfl power ranking 'expert' said n o saints are the nfl definition of a bland boring average nfl team on par with baseball's average sf giants. Isles are nhl's version of a boring bland average team year after year with louzer's run it back bunch having no buzz or excitement about them season after season. No ballyhoo'd rookie ready to crack roster-nothing. Thanks louzer the boring m c of isles.
And kincaid fits the louzer mold-old journeyman goalie/former devil getting the pto.
Gil, we need to know when Illya got hurt and if senile Lou let him play like mayfield. I have family members who already got season tickets and I’m sure would have liked to know the truth before possibly wasting their money. But of course that’s the reason the fossil hasn’t said anything. Without Illya our playoff chances are slim at best. And varly is one move or possible save away from being out a month like the past couple of seasons. We’ll have plenty of money if illya is on ltir.
Omg! Lou loves old school Grandpa’s ! Lou had already signed Hogberg!!!!! Why would he sign a 35 year old? Varly and Hogberg will likely start the season! Signing Sorokin when he has some kind of illness I don’t know what Lou is thinking! So you put Sorokin on long term Injury status and you have 8.25 and no cap issues! Why not disclose Sorokin’s issues? Be honest Lou! Stop 🛑 hiding
I agree Gil its always interesting (as a fan) that maybe (during these camps) a kid out of no where-turns into a solid NHL ready player and gives this team more depth. To then allow the Isles to move a player to add either players or picks to benefit the franchise. Occasionally these situations do happen and lets hope for some positive surprises.
Good 🌄 Gil, how are you ? The rookie camp started yesterday. This is the kids chance to get notice. The Islanders signed Keith Kincaid from Farmingville. He's come full circle first he was with The Rangers, then he was with The Devils, now he's come 🏡 to The Islanders. I think Ilya Sorokin might be going thru a depression. Good to see Maxim Tsyplakov in camp. That's rare for a player in any sport to say money was not the reason I'm here, opportunity was, and his respect for Patrick Roy. HAPPY 🎂, MICK VUKOTA. He was another pre Rip Wheeler, but he could put the puck in the net, too. Before I go, I was 👀 Game 2 of The 82 Finals between The Islanders and Vancouver. As we all know, Mike Bossy put on a show; however, Dave 🐅
Williams, the meanest player in The NHL who could put the puck in the net, had made it clear that didn't like Boss because he wouldn't give him the satisfaction of dropping his gloves. I can't help but wonder if he respected the way he scored goals, especially the one in mid air. I also hope he paid his condolences to Trots, who is tight with 🐅, who saved his career, and of course, was Boss best friend until the day he passed on. Hear from you later later, Gil, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh
I wish there was something to get excited about Gil, do I see any of these players making the big team, maybe one or 2 spots like you said, Roy will pick the team and we go into the Season a Whole Lot better than last year, LGI !!!! Thank you Gill !!!
Why don't they have rookie camp like other teams? And why did they stop the prospect game???? Just wondering!
