It was a headline-free day in Islanders Country, so...let’s get to ex-Islanders news after one delightful prospect roundup:
- Josh Ho-Sang, enticing breakout candidate. [FanRag]
- Former Isles captain Mark Streit returns to his original team, the Montreal Canadiens on a cheap ($700,000) one-year deal. Nice value for the Habs. Streit is coming off that big four-year deal that was a little too long and rich for the Isles. [HEOTP]
- Jesse Graham, left unqualified and thus allowed to walk by the Isles this summer, has landed with the Avalanche. [FanRag | Soundin’ Off]
- Here’s the Associated Press version of Kyle Okposo’s return to health.
And to complete the ex-Isles updates, apparently there is no clause in Anders Nilsson’s contract barring climbing across your roof while dressed as Spider Man:
