The New York Islanders acquired defenseman Alexander Romanov in a trade last Friday. Today, Laura Saba of Locked On Canadiens joins us to discuss her insight into what Romanov brings to the table for the Islanders. What are his strengths and weaknesses and where will he fit in to the Islanders lineup?

And we begin to look at free agency. How much cap space does Lou Lamoriello have to work with and what would it take for the Isles to add a big fish like Johnny Gaudreau to the mix.

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