New York Islanders Have Opportunity For Youth According To Barry Trotz

New York Islanders prospects report today and it has us itching for hockey so badly. This year’s training camp is going to be particularly interesting because of all the competition between the veterans and the young guys.

Based on past history, the veterans usually tend to get the nod over the younger guys. That might not be the case this year according to head coach, Barry Trotz.

When asked about Michael Dal Colle and Josh Ho-Sang, Trotz said they have a huge opportunity at camp this year. The quote that stood out for me was:

“Sometimes, you don’t want to block a guy from making that next step”

Do the Isles do the unthinkable and play Dal Colle and Ho-Sang over Andrew Ladd and another forward like Leo Komarov?
