Everyone knows that Lou is looking for a replacement for Lee. When you lose a player like Lee, the rest of the team has to pick it up a notch. The only weakness with this team is the offensive side of the game. However, Wahlstrom is taking over as the team's sniper. I have to admit; I am beginning to like this kid.
So who would you look at if you were the General Manager of the Islanders? Here are my thoughts if I were the General Manager. The Islanders have plenty of cap on LITR Boychuck and now Lee. So money is not an issue. I am not sure that I would bring anyone on the ice. If it is not broken, why fix it? For argument's sake, I will give you my top three picks.
Kyle Palmieri
Kyle is a dependable forward who can pitch in. He is a goal scorer with experience. He knows what it takes to win the game and he gets the job done. He is a pretty good stick handler and passer. He will fit right in with the Isles.
Taylor Hall
Taylor has done more than struggle this year. He has been awful. The Isles will be relying on his best friend, Jordan Eberle, to bring him out of his slump. Combine that an urge to win the Stanley Cup, and Hall should be fine. Taylor has brought it in the past, including receiving an MVP award; he is capable of coming back. He is an outstanding power forward who would be a perfect fit with the Islanders.
Connor Garland
The Isles may have to outbid the Leafs. Connor is a solid, no-nonsense hockey player. Nothing fancy. He gets the job done and moves on to the next task. He is a solid player with a great attitude. Connor is working on his career. He works hard and gets the garbage goals. Garland will be a solid player.
