If you’re on social media or subscribe to The Athletic there’s a good chance that you saw Arthur Staple’s “ideal”, “hoo boy”, and “realistic” lineups for the New York Islanders. Today I want to focus on the “ideal” lineup.
The idea behind doing this is fantastic, so I highly recommend reading it and I’m sure eventually I’ll get out my predictions sometime in June before the draft, but Art did a great job with this one. In order to see the full lineup you’re going to have to go here, but I just want to talk about the four forwards that were added.
