"Nino, all the fans want to know: Why am I using a photo from last year?"
Fitness testing was yesterday, but today the fun begins for the Islanders developmental mini-camp. (Fitness tests, by the way, aren't simply to pump {clap} youuu up, but also to establish base lines and compare returnees' progress since last year.)
The Islanders are putting up a fair amount of in-house coverage on the official site (some of which is included in the links below), and you can look for their blog posts here.
Some links and the mini-camp roster below:
