What if the New York Islanders could only stock their team with talent from Long Island? What would the 2017-18 Islanders starting lineup look like?
I say starting lineup because there aren’t enough active NHL players from Long Island to even make a full NHL team. Which doesn’t bode well for what I was actually able to find. Of the 200+ players in the league, I found three forwards, two defense and a single goaltender that hail from Long Island.
This is a pure distraction piece. Ever since July 1st rolled around all we talk about is John Tavares’ extension and when, and if, it’s ever going to get signed.
