Some notable Islanders players and prospects are headed to Bridgeport, how soon will some return? Erik Gustafsson was released from his PTO with the Islanders, was this the right move? What happened? Zdeno Chara and Zach Parise contracts have been revealed. The Islanders 23-man roster is finalized, or is it? Did the islanders accidentally leak their inaugural UBS Arena patch? Opening night vs. the Carolina Hurricanes preview. James and Jon's three must step up players, and their 2021-22 season projections.
