Today, the co-hosts of Locked On NHL Prospects, Hadi Kalakeche and Sebastian High break down the Islanders top prospects and rank their overall pool among the 32 NHL teams. They discuss the upside for players like Calle Odelius, Matthew Maggio and William Dufour and what their overall upside is and break down the overall state of the Isles prospect pool under Lou Lamoriello.

We also have my reaction to the rankings and what the Isles can do to improve them.

Plus, we look at the Isles efficiency in giving out contracts and that ranking among the league teams according to a recent article in The Athletic.

New York Islanders captain Anders Lee was second on the team with 28 goals last season, but he slumped down the stretch and is now 33 years old. Was Lee's slow finish just an untimely slump or was it the start of a decline for the captain? We break it down on today's show and discuss Lee's importance to the team.

Plus, why it makes sense (kind of) for Lou Lamoriello to build the Isles around defense and goaltending this year at least for now.

And some news on Zach Parise and his possible future with the team.

While the New York Islanders have re-signed their own free agents, the division rival Pittsburgh Penguins pulled off a blockbuster deal for Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson. We discuss how this deal changes the Isles playoff expectations this year and why it upset some Isles fans for several different reasons.

Plus, is there room for an enforcer like Ross Johnston on the Isles this season? We discuss the on-ice and salary cap implications of Johnston's situation and what the team should do about him this year.

And a big message from me to you as the show returns to the air.

Today we analyze another way the New York Islanders could improve offensively this season even if they don't add a scoring winger. If Kyle Palmieri can stay healthy, he could add 8-10 goals to the lineup on his own and give the team a boost on the power play as well. Unfortunately, staying healthy has not been easy for Palms.

We also break down the third line and who fills in there if Zach Parise does retire. There are many possible candidates including Pierre Engvall, Oliver Wahlstrom, Hudson Fasching and Julien Gauthier. We break down the reasons each player could fit there.

And the Isles once again get little respect from the national media although this time I don't think they're off by much.

It was not surprising that Vladimir Tarasenko didn't sign with the New York Islanders, but he did sign with the Ottawa Senators, a team the Isles will likely be fighting for one of the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference again this season.

Plus, five Isles prospects prepare to play in the World Junior Summer Showcase including Calle Odelius and Danny Nelson. We break down all five players and what to expect from them on today's show.

And somehow, John MacLean is still has a job running the Isles power play despite how badly the team performed last season.

The New York Islanders can still get better this season and today we discuss one player who's improvement has been overlooked in that process: Alexander Romanov.

Plus Bo Horvat speaks and discusses his trade to the Islanders and his outlook on the future and we break down some reasons why the Isles and Lou Lamoriello struggle to bring goal scorers to the Island year after year.

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.
