James and Jon dive into the New York Rangers trade for Vladamir Tarasenko and possible moves by the New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes as they relate to the New York Islanders. Losers of two in a row, the Islanders are left asking themselves if they have what it takes to make it to the playoffs. On top of that, Jon's bold prediction about Lane Lambert's job might not even be the craziest thing you'll hear all week.
The guys also discuss if the Islanders should be buyers or sellers, what it would take to make it to the playoffs, and a quick review of the team's last few games and what lies ahead.
All this and more in this week's episode.
