Ben Shelley: Islanders won't invite Josh Ho-Sang to training camp

Ho-Sang is a bust. Time to move on.

Just send Ho-Sang to the wings to complete the future considerations from timashov trade, give him a fresh start

More old white men playing games.

Done like dinner. The moment he said he’d be the best player in his draft it was over.

This is a twisted game at this point. Time to end it.

Right, every team should be required to carry at least one minority player on the roster regardless of talent/performance.

I concur.

No idea with Lou and Barry's track record why they want to go round and round with JHS at this point? Focus on getting something out of players like Bellows, Wahlstrom, and Holmstrom.

I have seen this game before in junior hockey, it is called blackball this guy at all costs. I totally disagree with the old goat Lou's personal vendetta with the kid. He had to sign him cheap or face an arbitrators potential raise and now he just wants him to rot in the AHL. Had to pay him either way so lets screw him over now. The irony here is JHS has the potential to be an nhl player and a good one. Of course he would have to have grown up and that I can not say. Trade him Lou and give him a chance, stop with the head games.

Lou is a bitter old fool, like signing Corey Schneider because he is a good friend, that is not how to run your business. Blackball HoSang, kid may be a piece of work but Lou should cut ties instead of holding up his future.

Agreed.

Ho-Sang ruined his career years ago. He is better off going to the KHL or maybe the Swiss league if he wants to continue. Maybe he grows up after a couple more years and gets a chance as a reclamation project by some NHL team.

I don’t get this situation at all.

Saw this kid play many times in Junior. He was almost always the best player on the ice and it wasn’t close.

This includes playing against the Gens team that won the mem cup.

There’s definitely a part of this whole saga we’re all missing.

Tell Lou to send him to NJ with a 7th round pick and we’ll send back a 6th and some Pastrami from Hobby’s Deli. Everyone wins!!

Makes the organization seem petty to me.

I don’t think there’s too many people missing that Ho Sang did something again to piss management off. He lost the benefit of the doubt after the fifth time he did this.

The old white men must be stopped.

Then why re-sign him? It seems their reasoning is that he's an AHL player. Is someone that consistently displays unprofessional behaviour the type of player you want on your farm team?

Well we don’t exactly know the story this time around yet. I’ll assume when we do they gave him another shot and he violated some team protocol of some sort because that’s par for the course. As an Islander fan I would be willing to bet every penny I have on that. They didn’t resign him to antagonize him and if that’s what you think happened you haven’t paid attention to what’s gone on with this kid since the day we drafted him. Absolute waste of time and energy.

What if the old white man identifies as a transgender muslim eskimo?
