Islanders Bits: John Tavares Drafted By Some All-Star Team
New York Islanders All-Star and possibly 26th-best NHL player under 25 John Tavares was selected in the 16th round (of 19) in last night's All-Star draft. Logan Couture was your last man standing.

Casey Cizikas: When is he ready? Examining a similar case
With Bridgeport going from December doldrums to a sudden two-week win streak, Islanders fans eyes have turned toward the Sound Tigers prospects, in particular team scoring and +/- leader Casey Cizikas (9-19-28, +14). He's an interesting piece to watch because, unlike young forwards who are...
