The New York Islanders will be bringing two new faces on the blueline that are going to be part of the NHL squad or hope to be part of the NHL squad in some way.
The two names I’m talking about here are Zdeno Chara and Erik Gustafsson. (Of course, there are other names that are new but we focused on these two.)
We know that Zdeno Chara will be on the NHL squad. His spot is guaranteed. What remains to be seen at camp is who he’s paired with. That isn’t the case for Erik Gustafsson.
