The New York Islanders hover between contender and retool as injuries and inconsistency cloud their playoff hopes. With Bo Horvat, Alexander Romanov, and Kyle Palmieri sidelined, Gil Martin analyzes whether this Islanders roster has the firepower and depth to make a legitimate Stanley Cup push or if it’s time for a strategic sell-off at the trade deadline.

Gil Martin breaks down power play struggles, defensive lapses, and the leadership challenge facing a veteran core. Plus, recall the legacy of Stefan Persson during the Islanders’ dynasty years. Can the current squad recapture elite status, or is a true rebuild on the horizon?
