The 2017-2018 seasons wasn’t kind to New York Islanders prospect Josh Ho-Sang. Josh was scapegoated for the Islanders defensive struggles, things didn’t get better after he was sent down, and was unmotivated in the AHL.
In 22 games with the big club last year, he put up 12 points in 22 games. That’s a pace of about a .55 points per game which would mean he would’ve produced roughly 45 points if he played the entire season.
The Islanders third line was a major issue last year, mostly because they lacked production (see Brock Nelson, Andrew Ladd, and Tanner Fritz) so it never made sense why they were so reluctant t continually give failing vets opportunities over Ho-Sang.
