Wonder how long this guy will be there, too:

• Elliotte Friedman’s 31 Thoughts includes some “speculation” on the Islanders and Josh Ho-Sang; I put quotes around “speculation” because, as he says, he can never truly know what Lou is doing, but he’s Elliotte Friedman — I don’t think he would put it out there for no reason.
• The Isles officially announced their partnership with ESPN Radio. [Islanders]
• WATCH: Take a virtual tour through Railers camp and hear from a few coaches, too. [YouTube]
