SHOCKING: Cal Ritchie FORCES Major Lineup Change as Barzal Shifts to Wing | Will Roy's GAMBLE Work?

Mathew Barzal shifts back to wing as the New York Islanders shake up their lineup. Can this move alongside Bo Horvat reignite their chemistry and spark the offense?

The discussion covers the struggling fourth line featuring Casey Cizikas and Anthony Duclair, roster depth improvements compared to recent seasons, and whether the Islanders finally have real competition for lineup spots. Martin tackles listener questions about Roy's job security compared to the Barry Trotz era, Ilya Sorokin's goaltending struggles versus David Rittich's strong play, and the biggest surprises and disappointments through the early season.
