The New York Islanders have two defensemen out of their top four who are eligible to sign contract extensions after July 1st of this year.

And, how does potential extensions for these two change the team's approach to adding offensive talent?

Plus we discuss Pat LaFontaine and why he still isn't in the New York Islanders Hall of Fame. This is an injustice that the team's owners should be fixing as soon as possible as LaFontaine is very deserving of that honor.
