The New York Islanders trimmed down their roster and sent a lot of players to the Bridgeport Islanders camp, we have the latest cuts and we discuss the two groups that took part in training camp on Sunday.
Plus, we discuss the Isles rain delayed win over the Rangers Saturday night which included goals from all four lines with Bo Horvat, J.G. Pageau, Cal Clutterbuck, Anders Lee and Brock Nelson all scoring goals.
And we continue or player-by-player look at the Isles roster with the captain, Anders Lee. Is he moving down to the third line? Was his late season struggle a slump or the start of a decline?
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

lennox sent to ahl. maggio and dufour getting good looks. the rest are lou nobody's cut or there to fill out ahl roster void of top nhl prospects. keys to season-more offense and better pp. to which you know who failed to address this off-season. playoff prognosis-IFFY. can't expect a pen type of meltdown this season for isles to get in. maybe injuries will pave the way for a few young guys to get a shot since stubborn one frowns at the thought of letting kids play. Ishkatov still hasn't seen nhl ice. dufour saw like four minutes one game.
Where was Wahlstrom?
I like that Lane is searching for scoring chemistry with his lines. Lee and Pageau is an interesting combo. Lou traded a first for Pageau, then gave him $5 million and we've used him purely as a defensive 3rd liner. What other teams have invested so much in a low scoring 3rd liner? It would be nice to see him get some wingers to help that line produce. He's been baby sitting since he got here with lots of different wingers.
I think…… Lane put Holmstrom on the top line so there are no excuses for not scoring. I think he gets sent down because he's waiver exempt. Ross may see the same fate, and someone will claim him. Aho-Bolduc will continue their battle as the 6th and 7th D on the roster. I don't know where Wally slots in, but he'll definitely make the roster along with Gauthier.
When you say plan B as for the Palmari injury. The isles need plan B,C,&D! Walley is still a big question. So I'm figuring at least 2 new names by game 10. Palmari I think is a 100% Guarantee trip to the injury list early. I don't like pushing Ross out because the next trip to the IR is definitely Clutterbuk. You can bet on that. Ross doesn't get any respect from Lambert. You need to retain that toughness and size. I'm not going back to being pushed around in the toughest division in hockey. Maybe Hudson Fashen could fit with Martin and Casey.
Lee – JGP – Palmeri.
The most overpaid 3rd line in the NHL. 17aav total for a 3rd line lol. Great Job LoserRillo.
Hi Gil! Holmstrom is being groomed as 1Lw—insane. Maybe he will develop but he is at the moment to me-a 3rd line defensive player. Why keep forcing a square peg into an oval hole? If he’s our 1Lw then expect 14 goals and 30 points for the year. I am very surprised how good Gauthier looks. He might be a huge surprise. No Palmeri? Then give his spot to Dufor!! Yes Lee should be with JG! Whally where are you? Sound familiar? All in all if Gauthier can shock us, if Whally can chip in and if Dufor gets a chance of sorts—maybe better than we expected. Boys, Palms is already hurt (although) skating on his own-what can we truly expect moving forward? Give that spot to to Dufor!! Louless—if ya can’t get a scorer—-can ya quit adding charmin to our team. Tough to play against with Engvall and Holmstrom? Sure Lou Lou land.
