The New York Islanders have one position group where depth is a major question mark and no, it’s not on the wing (the issue there is a lack of top-end talent). Today, we discuss this position, the top candidates for filling it and what each brings to the table.
Plus, the NHL announced their nationally televised games for the upcoming season on ESPN and TNT. We go over the Isles appearances on national broadcasts and how fans are affected by the TV changes.
Plus a popular enforcer from the late 1990s is our Islanders Birthday of the Day.
All that and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

every time a game is only available on espn+ I die a little more. 6 games I can't watch.
Feel better Gil.
Gil, we have no choice…it's Salo or Cholowski and Aho. Remember this, we had 2 defenseman who were 40 and 45. Much improved this year. Elite goaltending, and I believe the forward unit's will be better this year.
Glad you're on the mend, Gil. I'm curious to see how Bolduc does this year. A return to his form from 2 years ago, plus development from there would be fantastic. I kind of pictured him being Mayfield's partner coming into this season, a couple of years ago. I think he still has game.
The defence is going to be so much better this year. It will make a huge difference for the team. Remember, the Isles were without Pulock for 26 games, Mayfield for 21 games and you had Greene and Chara in the line up. I'm expecting a huge upgrade this year and pray for good health.
The only way these three can show they are bonafide defencemen is to be given a chance. They have to give Salo/Aho/Cholowski a chance this year and keep the old vets out.
