New York Islanders Season Preview

First off I'm sorry for not posting for about 2 weeks, pretty much nothing has really happened at all so I haven't been able to bring myself to post something. Good news is that the World Cup of Hockey is starting next month so I'll most likely be writing about it. The Islanders are coming off a pretty good playoff run that ended in the second round to the Tampa Bay Lightning in 5 games, but that was the first time making it past the first round since 1993 so it wasn't all bad. The Islanders lost Matt Martin in free agency which isn't going to have that much of an impact on their season. The Islanders added Jason Chimera who will be a nice boost to their offense and can be a 2nd or 3rd line center. P.A Parenteau signed with the Islanders and will play for the Islanders for the second time, also he had his best year yet last year with the Maple Leafs with 20 goals and 21 assists. The best player to join the Islanders this offseason is Andrew Ladd the former Jets captain who is a two time Stanley Cup champion. He is a proven leader and can definitely be a first liner for the Islanders. You should expect the Islanders to have a good year, but the Metropolitan division should be stronger than usual so it should definitely be harder to get a division spot. Will all their new additions have as big of an impact as expected? Will the Islanders be affected by Matt Martin leaving the team? Are the Islanders going to be Stanley Cup contenders? stay tuned....
