It seems that when the New York Islanders lose lately, you can see some glaring weaknesses in the team. I'm not here to be a Debbie Downer or Negative Nancy, but can Barry Trotz defensive system really bring the Islanders deep into the playoffs with this evident lack of offensive power. It's a tough question, and reality seems to be setting in.
Tom Kuhnhackl, Leo Komarov, Michael Dal Colle, and Ross Johnston have a combined seven goals in 82 total games played. Those stats simply will not cut it for regular non-fourth line players.
