Johnny Boychuk's NHL career is over due to the serious eye injury he suffered late last season. We discuss his legacy as a player, his impact on the Islanders and what his retirement means for the Isles defense going forward.

Plus how does Boychuk's injury change the Isles cap situation? Does this give them more money to re-sign Mathew Barzal?

All this plus our Isles birthday of the day and a lot more on the weekend edition of the Locked On Islanders Podcast.
