Simon Holmstrom’s Fit on the Islanders is Unclear
July 23, 2024 by Michael Ostrower
The New York Islanders selected Simon Holmstrom with the 23rd pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, meaning his first five years in the organization have concluded. He is a winger with a powerful shot and strong defensive instincts, and he has demonstrated moments of brilliance during his NHL career. At 23 years old, time is running out for him to realize his potential and his path to securing a top-six role has become more challenging due to uncertainties about his place in the lineup. Given his performances so far, what should his short- and long-term expectations be on Long Island?

4 Things Patrick Roy Can Learn From Jon Cooper & Mike Sullivan
July 23, 2024 by Mike Fink
Patrick Roy’s head coaching tenure with the New York Islanders is filled with promise and upside. He took over halfway through the 2023-24 season and willed the team to the playoffs by leading them to a 20-12-5 record down the stretch. Now, the hope is that Roy, with a full offseason to prepare, can help the Islanders take a big step forward and finish near the top of the Eastern Conference in 2024-25.
