In building this depth chart I wanted to stick with players that could play for the New York Islanders this season. Oliver Wahlstrom is a fantastic prospect, but he isn’t making the Islanders this season.
There’s no reason to include Wahlstrom or any other left winger in the New York Islanders organization if he isn’t making the team now. That means no Michael Dal Colle or Otto Koivula or Matt Lorito. That last name wasn’t made up, he’s on the Islanders books for $1.1 million worth of minors salary over the next two years.
Unfortunately as well see, there are too many players for the number of spots available.
