The Islanders have announced their 23 man roster for the 2013/2014 season. Still no word on the extent of Travis Hamonic's injury but he has not been placed on injured reserve. This is encouraging. The Islanders have announced that defenseman Griffin Reinhart has made the team. They have nine games to decide if Reinhart stays with the team as their only option would be to return him to juniors. The Islanders have announced that Ryan Pulock has been returned to juniors and Brett Gallant, Ryan Strome, Anders Lee, Johan Sundstrom Calvin de Haan, Anders Nilsson, Kenny Reiter and Kirill Kabanov have been sent to Bridgeport. Below is the final roster; with the season starting on Friday these are your 2013 2014 New York Islanders.
