New Year's Depth Chart and Decisions

LHH editor's note: Front-paged FanPost because the site founder is a sucker for any depth-chart discussion.

I say Garth is doing a really good job, after a tough stumble this year.

Here is the depth chart (as I see it) for next year: (before anybody puts out a contract on me... they are in signed status order... signed, RFA, UFA). [Note: Chart is after the poll if you're on the home page.]

I've only listed players that have (or will have) played one game for the Islanders this year(or last). So there are prospects that probably fit into the roster somewhere next year like Kohn, Katic, Ullstrom, Dibo, Poulin, Koskinen and others. But Snow has a lot of decisions to make. The top five decisions...

Matt Moulson... re-sign/trade

Marty... re-sign/trade

Parentau.. re-sign/trade

Jurcina... re-sign/trade

Konopka... re-sign/trade

I'd personally like to see every one of those players back, but I don't think that's going to happen. Your thoughts...
