This Has Been the Root of the New York Islanders Cap Problems But How Do They Fix It?

The New York Islanders have salary cap issues. We all know this. But the Athletic ranked each NHL team based on their ability to improve their rosters based on their current cap situations and let's just say the results weren't good for Lou Lamoriello and the New York Islanders. We break down how the Isles got into this mess and what they need to do to get out of it. It involves making some unpleasant and difficult decisions but is Lou up for doing that? Plus, we take a look at draft prospect Ryder Ritchie and what he could add to the Isles if they select him with the 20th overall pick in the NHL Draft. All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! eBay Motors For parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
