There are always certain players on a team that fans could do without, and the New York Islanders aren’t any different. Here are some of the few players that fans would like out as soon as possible.

It’s no secret that there are certain New York Islanders players that fans would like off the roster as soon as possible. For whatever reason, they just don’t like certain players.

Whether it be the lack of hustle and two-way play. Or the uncanny ability to ghost in and out of games seemingly at will. Or it could be an unjustified cap hit that eats at the team’s chances of landing a better player.

The New York Islanders aren’t the only team’s fanbase to have this dynamic. Just about every NHL has it. Rangers fans weren’t big on Dan Girardi (he’s gone now), Calgary Flames fans aren’t big on Troy Brower.

I want to go over some of these players. I want to see what some fans are saying about these players. Why don’t they like them?

And then I want to try and figure out what the Isles could get in a trade before the season starts. Can the Isles just get a minor piece, draft picks, future consideration or maybe they can find a diamond in the rough and pull out a player that just might fit better with the Isles.
