Islanders Defense Logjam Looms | New York Islanders News

The New York Islanders are poised for a strong season with a solid core, but their defense could be a mess—literally—with too many left-handed defensemen. Returning stars like Kyle Palmieri and Alexander Romanov are expected to lead the charge, while young players aim to step up. The real headache? Tony DeAngelo’s return adds to a logjam of lefties including Schaefer, Romanov, and Pelech. If Isaiah George makes the roster, the Islanders face a tough decision: force a lefty to play right or trade someone to clear space. With training camp just around the corner, this blueline puzzle could be the biggest story of the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
