The New York Islanders enter the 2017-18 NHL season with a significant addition to the lineup. They swapped Ryan Strome for Jordan Eberle. The hope is that stapling Eberle to Tavares’ wing will reunite a dominant duo from the 2009 World Junior Championship.
It’s exciting to think of John Tavares having an elite winger on his flank. Someone who he has previous chemistry with. And not whatever the Isles could attract in free agency.
We’re all excited about the potential not only the two can have, but what Anders Lee can do a season after scoring 34 goals.
