Today we discuss why the New York Islanders have never been able to sign top-tier free agents over the course of their history. The reasons have varied at different times but the team has never really made a huge splash in free agency, instead trading for players and then trying to re-sign them has been their MO especially under Garth Snow and Lou Lamoriello.

We also discuss the outlook for free agency this season and why the team is unlikely to play a major role in free agency again this summer.

Plus we look at Hudson Fasching's season, discuss his strengths and weaknesses and what his rol eon the Islanders is expected to be next season.

All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
