The New York Islanders add muscle with Logan Stanley signing as playoff push intensifies. Can the 6'7" defenseman provide the grit and protection the blue line has lacked, or will defensive questions linger into the regular season?
Gil Martin examines Stanley’s fit as third-pair left-shot defenseman, breaking down his physical style and potential influence on Matthew Schaefer’s development. The show covers recent roster cuts, Pierre Engvall’s demotion, and the latest on Mat Barzal’s availability for opening night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Preseason struggles against the Rangers and Devils spark concerns about team chemistry and defense, while veterans’ roster spots limit opportunities for emerging talent. Plus, it’s John Simms birthday spotlight—reliving a classic Islanders win.
Will the Islanders’ renewed physicality pay off, or do deeper issues persist as the 2026-27 NHL season begins?
All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
