Isles Rookie Camp Notes

Your New York Islanders Rookie Camp roster has been released.  Keep in mind, there is most likely a forward, defensive and it is slightly possible, there is a goaltending position on the big club available to a viable prospect.  However, due to his illness last season, even Nilsson lacks the minimal experience that Kevin Poulin barely has as an NHL back-up.  I highlighted my picks ( * ) for prospects that might be able to crack the line up this season if they look good in camp.  The other way to make the big club is in the event of an injury.
