As the Islanders continue to play out the season, one glaring weakness has become even more and more apparent: they cannot score goals. With only one player reaching the 15 goal plateau after 70 games, this team will be in desperate need to find a goal scorer next season. One good thing going for them is that there are a large number of teams in cap trouble going into next season. With all their cap room, the Isles should be able to bring in a couple of names to go with the youth on their squad.
At this moment, Isles management is not even attending their games. GM Jones has been seen all over Europe and Russia on scouting missions for the upcoming draft. "Although some have said the draft itself is in question, we cannot take that chance" said Jones. "We have four 1st rounders, as well as many more picks, we need to be prepared."
