Their roster as it stands is better this year than last. PP will be improved and their PK can only go up. |

This made me laugh
While I don’t think the Islanders are world-beaters by any means, they should be a much safer playoff bet than the odds suggest, especially relative to Detroit whose total is somehow only one point lower. There’s a lot more to like in Long Island, especially with the Anthony Duclair addition and a few other additions by subtraction. There’s also a new-ish coach behind the bench in Patrick Roy, who is notably not Lane Lambert |

They’re giving Holmstrom a real look with Nelson and Palms. I’d like to see Tysolakov with Nelson and Palmieri |

Young wingers: Simon Holmström has gotten the first shot at grabbing the second-line left-wing spot alongside Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. Holmström was solid in his one preseason game so far, a game in which two other under-27-year-old forwards, Julien Gauthier and newcomer Maxim Tsyplakov, shined. Tsyplakov, to my eyes, looks to be the best option for the Nelson-Palmieri wing, but perhaps Roy wants to see how Tsyplakov handles the pace and physicality of the NHL for a bit before elevating him over Holmström, whose two-way game and above-average shot are a bit better known in the organization. |

I thought tsyplakov came as he was guaranteed a top 6 spot |

Holmstrom is having a strong camp. He’s noticeable to me |

Not sure about guaranteed, but they still have a few games to see who’s gelling. I think their top 6 is going to produce more pts than the last few years. |

There's not a spot for Martin i mean how can he make it over fasching or holmstrom ? Hogberg has the 3 spot i think cause this game would be 10 0 if Tikenen was in net |

I don’t really see a spot for Martin, but maybe they keep him as a 13th forward for league min. I could see a benefit having him travel with the team as the 13th guy, ready to dress if needed. |

Yeah the game is changing and the enforcer is being phased out. That said the two things that make fans jump outta their seats are breakaways and tilts. It’s still a show… |
