Two tweets tell a huge story for the New York Islanders opening night roster, and a lot of it is what we expected from Barry Trotz and team.
As the Islanders round out the training camp roster with 12 recent cuts, only 40 players remain. Only 23 can remain for the 2019-20 active roster. That means another 17 players must be cut.
So Barry Trotz and Lou Lamoriello still have some work to do in order to figure out what their starting roster is going to look like. But based on Thursday’s lines in practice we’re getting a good sense as to where Trotz and Lamoriello are headed.
