The New York Islanders have made a change to the team’s top line removing Josh Bailey from the trio and putting Anders Lee in his place. Bailey has now moved down to the third line where he is better suited. But will Bo Horvat and Anders Lee mesh as the two play similar styles? We break it down on today’s show.
Plus, the Isles placed JG Pageau on IR and recalled Andy Andreoff. We discuss his role on the team and what the loss of Pageau will mean.
And we have a full preview of this weekend’s crucial games against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Make a change at coach too
Should change the D pairings too
Pelech- Dobson
Pulock-Romanov
Mayfield-Bolduc or Aho
Bailey drives me and everyone else crazy. If the guy took more shots, he'd most likely have more points more goals and the one thing that he's been missing CONFIDENCE!!
Lee is no first line winger, but he produced with Barzal and who else can we put there?! Lee by default.
Thompson needed to go YEARS ago! I also think that Lou, when drafting, he depends on our scouting. And as we all know, our scouting is freaking TERRIBLE! So how much blame can be put on LL?
Seriously? Lee was last good in '17-'18 playing with pj judas. Same line with bailey the 71 pt. assist man and last season he was useful. Now five years later and older and slow as a snail this wont move the needle one bit. If this is lane's answer to things then just throw in the towel on this season. Pathetic this team has virtually no trade chips or no picks/prospects to move to right this sinking ship. Lou should have just let lee sign with av's, hawks, or habs like he was gonna do as a ufa. Lou panicked signed lee to that ridiculous deal after panarin played him like a fiddle. Everyone knew that deal would age badly given lee's slowness. I'd trade barzal for all of the la kings blue chip prospects RIGHT NOW. la is gonna be a player at tdl with their riches of prospects. Isles on the other hand are about shit out of luck. Should just hope for a clean sweep of losses to pitt, b's to prepare for the inevitable. Lou should put up the 'SELL, SELL, SELL. ALL MODELS MUST GO AT ANY PRICE' sign. You suck lou. The question is how much more damage is lou willing to do to this team before he exits for good not knowing if that is after this season or when it will be just to be a playoff bubble team? Some poor gm in waiting has quite a job to do cleaning up this lou mess they will be left with. Just hope lou jr. doesn't get the job. And had lou landed panarin vt would be an isle right now instead of both tearing it up on broadway right now. Thanks lou. I hear toews (not devin) can be had for cheap. Go get him lou to add to your collection of useless old vets.
