Islanders News: Summer rewind

I mean it’s everything we’ve talked about daily for the past few months, but…the NHL dot-com got around to the Islanders in their 32-in-32 series, so here it is, officially:

NHL Inside Look​

• The Isles’ current top prospects are all recently acquired, including of course the three first-round picks a couple months ago. [NHL]
• The lottery win and drafting of Mathew Schaefer added life, though there was that trade of their previous top young defenseman to shift the retool into future mode. “There’s been some hope restored and there’s a direction with youth involved, and really talented youth,” says Cal Clutterbuck. [NHL]
• Their top three questions: If Schaefer makes it (and how often he plays), the Varlamov health situation and fixing the miserable special teams. On that last point, maybe this partial Anders Lee quote is nothing, but maybe it’s not: “With our new assistant coaches, getting on the same page with them having a plan…” [NHL]
• And EDGE stats: “Forward Anders Lee led the entire NHL in high-danger shots on goal (131) and was tied for sixth in high-danger goals (23) last season.“ [NHL]
• Not new ground here, but: Will Schaefer, who still hasn’t turned 18, make the team? [Sportsnet]
• Old friend Travis Hamonic rides again! He picked up at least one more NHL contract, with Detroit, despite some unconvincing results the last several seasons. [TSN]
