What do two prospects analysts think about New York Islanders Simon Holmstrom’s 2021 World Junior Championship tournament?
I watched just about every shift that Simon Holmstrom played at the 2021 World Junior Championship for Sweden. In my opinion, the New York Islanders first-round pick from 2019 was impressive and showed why Lou Lamoriello stepped up to draft him 23rd overall in 2019.
But I’m an Islanders fan and it’s entirely possible that I’m seeing things through blue and orange-tinted glasses.
