Greiss is useless, buy him out, cant go into next season with no guarantees on G and expect to win.

Maybe a trade with Vegas for Subban? No idea he would be available?

In the Athletic, on The Isla ders d or lack there of.


The Isles hand out shots like a bartending academy
I wrote about the Islanders defensive woes a month back, which you can read here. But it’s really pretty incredible just how badly they get peppered, and it ain’t gettin’ better. They actually won the game on Sunday against Calgary, but they surrendered 50 shots for the sixth time this season.

No team has ever had it happen seven times in one season. You can do it, fellas!
Amidst all this, somewhat remarkably, they could still conceivably make the playoffs. As I wrote in that longer systems breakdown, to my eye it’s a combination of personnel and a lack of attention to detail, which you would generally look toward the coaching staff to fix. And for those of you about to suggest maybe they just give up lower quality, perimeter shots – yeah, nope. They give up more scoring chances per 60, and high danger attempts against than any other team in the league.

This team has not played any real defense since Ted Nolan was coach. Yes improvements are needed on D, but the real problem is not getting the entire team to play D.

I'm just not sure what goalie the Isles will be able to trade for that is a sure fire #1?
