The New York Islanders are by no means a finished product. Their 103 point season was achieved by sticking to a plan set out from the start of the season, but no one will tell you the end result was as expected. No one thought it would go this well.
The Islanders just aren’t deep with talent. They rely heavily on a bottom six that play big minutes. For example, Cal Clutterbuck lead the Islanders forwards in ice-time over the last few games. On the Isles last game of the season, he registered a forward high of 16:36
The Islanders aren’t weak in any one position, and they aren’t strong in any position either.
