Another scoring winger that was rumored to be a possibility for the New York Islanders is now looking unlikely. Elliotte Friedman called Vladimir Tarasenko "not a match" for the Isles right now. We discuss what this means and why Friedman is right about Tarasenko under the circumstances.

Plus, an national publication says the Islanders had the sixth best offseason of any team in the NHL. We'll explain and break that down for you.

Former Islanders forward Nate Thompson announced his retirement and we have our poll results on Oliver Wahlstrom.

All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
