Islanders Anxiety - Episode 91 - We’re Weird Like That

Mike and Dan are joined by The Athletic’s Arthur Staple to talk about what moves the Islanders could make this summer.

They talk about the team’s feelings at clear out day, the injuries they’ll need to adjust for and what salaries their restricted free agents could be looking at. Later, the move on to the Islanders’ UFAs and potential offseason acquisitions.

Along the way, they get to media biases, unlikely buyouts and what would give this season a truly happy ending.
