Islanders Podcast Preview: Expansion Draft & What’s Next

The expansion draft is finally over, and now the New York Islanders are left to pick up the pieces. In episode 205 of the Eyes on Isles Podcast we’ll start by going over the Expansion Draft and share our thoughts of the event.

Since Jordan Eberle was the player selected from the Isles we will discuss the impact of losing him and then what’s next for the team including the draft and free agency coming up in just six days.

Also, Mitch has some information on Isles prospects that we will get into on Down on the Farm. Here’s what you can expect from episode 205 of a very busy Eyes on Isles Podcast:
