The Toronto Maple Leafs have one of the NHL's most well-traveled fanbases, making them easy targets for boos when they play against the Islanders.

Tsyplakov had a solid rookie campaign. Thirty-five points, some strong shifts on the second and third lines, and flashes of the high-end skill he showed in the KHL.

As much as a black-and-white color scheme made sense for the Islanders' Barclays Center era, it's a total miss. The logo is sharp, but there just isn't enough character to make it a primary logo (versus a shoulder patch) - especially on a bland base of a jersey. There are too many black jerseys in this league, and this one was particularly forgettable.

Jaroslav Halak has retired from professional hockey after a 17-season career in the NHL, known for his pivotal role with the New York Islanders.

If Tavares had stayed, the Islanders probably wouldn't have handed the keys over to Barzal as quickly as they did, which could have been beneficial for Barzal's development.

Bobby Marsala has been a beloved part of the New York Islanders organization for 15 years, serving as the Senior Director of Retail Operations at Isles Lab.
