New York Islanders have a conundrum up top. They desperately need a top-six right-wing forward. They couldn’t land one at last season’s trade deadline and they couldn’t add one in free agency this offseason. Now their best option is looking like Josh Ho-Sang.
That’s not a bad thing. Josh Ho-Sang is a great prospect who’s absolutely dynamic going forward. He’s at his best when he carries the puck up the ice and finds his teammates to create scoring opportunities.
But the Islanders want him to have more balance in his game. They want him to add scoring to his repertoire.
