Casey Cizikas is the only member of the New York Islanders Identity Line under contract beyond this season. Can he prove his worth for the team with his play this season to make sure his role is guaranteed in the future if Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck don’t return? We break down the keys to Cizikas’ 2023-24 NHL campaign on today’s show.
Plus which player was the biggest standout at rookie camp for the Isles? We discuss that and answer your email questions.
And the Isles veterans are eager to start training camp. We have quotes from Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Casey is safe. The seven year deals to mm and cc are sure to come from you know who. Two more seasons until the buy out. And put pierre to use on the pk. There's got to be something he can do besides skate real fast.
Gil, could we please stop with the size stuff with iskhakov. The kid is Russian and not a delicate flower.I know I’m beating a dead horse but he should of been up last year. I still find it appalling that holmstrom was called up instead of him. Wait to u see him in the preseason. Not that it matters because their is NO room for any of them with this aging roster. DP was one of my favorites. I was nervous last year when illya was going to the all star game. Hopefully I’ll have to keep worry about that for years to come.
If George is eligible to go to the NHL or OHL cause of his age, why not bring him up? He's young and fast. And last I checked we need a young talent here.
I always felt Cizikas was wasted centering a checking line. Yoda didn't see it that way, so he went out and got another good center to play on a second low scoring checking line. The problem with making a checking line your identity is it becomes impossible to break them up. If Casey remains mainly a checker, he'll catch Cals injury affliction and that line will self-destruct. We should have been grooming big body Koivula for that role. If Wahlstrom can't find his scoring, put him in and rest Cal or even Matt.
ISKHAKOV is listed as 5'7", 152. Moving him up to the NHL could result in Lou facing attempted murder charges. 23 and he hasn't bulked up at all. Just look at Caufields troubles. He has 20 lbs on Ish and still hasn't played a full season in the NHL.
You may have no choice in advertising, but some company offering a supply of antibiotics sounds super shady. To get medicine this way is not safe. On the website, it does state 'your order will be reviewed by a licensed physician in your state' but a patient should be SEEN by a doctor. It doesn't even SAY what medications are in this Jase Case they sell.
Bad sponsor!
Also, take care of that cough.
5’ 7” with no weight isn’t a good thing.
