It’s that time of year—that time when all the non-playoff teams clean out their lockers and speak to the media one final time before riding off into the summer.
Today is breakup day for the Islanders, who this season have to do this in April instead of May or June. The last time they had to do that was in 2018; at that time, there were a lot of questions about a certain former captain who happened to be in his final few moments in Islanders gear.
This year, the questions surrounding the Islanders still sort of have to do with who’s staying and who’s going.
