New York Islanders: Eyes on Isles Podcast Ep 91 Preview

The Eyes on Isles Podcast returns for episode number 91 as Matt and Mitch will discuss all things New York Islanders on and off the ice.

With offseason mode now in swing, the Eyes on Isles Podcast will transition into topics that go off the ice. For instance, the New York Islanders seem like they want to extend Brock Nelson as soon as possible.

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Islanders are “grinding” in order to get a deal done with Brock Nelson. This week, we also found out that Lane Lambert might be going to the Ducks, but there’s another coach we’d like to see replaced.

Who can the Islanders get to fix their power play? Scott Gomez isn’t getting the job done so someone else has to, right?

This week, the Isles waived Yannick Rathgeb, a Sound Tigers d-man. The Isles were able to get away with this because of the depth that they’ve been able to develop on the blueline.

This week, we also want to get into who on the Islanders is considered a tradable asset. Here’s what you can expect from episode 91:
