The Islanders are a good team, but are they good enough?

As they scramble for playoff position, it’s a question that for the second year in a row will be determined without the help of reinforcements. General manager Garth Snow did not make an impact move prior to Monday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline, a decision that has left a lot of fans and pundits just a tiny bit bewildered.

Especially because the teams the Isles could potentially see in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Rangers and Washington Capitals, made moves and got better.
