So. This season hasn’t been great so far.
After the New York Islanders won their first playoff round in 23 years in a new building in Brooklyn, things were looking up, even with a bad possession year. And yet, 12 games into the season, the Islanders are 4-6-2, a poor possession team, and essentially at the bottom of the conference (the Carolina Hurricanes have 1 less point, but a game in hand).
Free agents Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera are underperforming, to say the least. Ladd has 1 assist in his 12 games, and it came off an empty net goal.
