## Resource

The New York Islanders face a crossroads as Ilya Sorokin’s elite goaltending and Calder winner Matthew Schaefer offer hope—but are they destined to stay stuck in the Metro Division’s mushy middle? Jay Foster and Gil Martin break down why the Islanders’ aging roster, lack of top-line forwards, and cap constraints keep them teetering between playoff contender and lottery team.
