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.

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