The New York Islanders have a talented team, but right now the only forwards producing steady offense are Mat Barzal and Jordan Eberle. The first line’s production has slowed nearly to a halt. Critics argue that as a unit they aren’t fast enough to be fully effective.
I’d like to add someone speedy to play with John Tavares, maybe help him get better zone entries. Josh Bailey is having a great season, but can he keep it up without Tavares? Anders Lee‘s game style should allow him to be effective on any line.
