Brock Nelson isn’t ready to put his skates away in storage for the summer just yet. With the New York Islanders season officially over, Nelson was officially added to the roster of Team USA for the 2024 IIHF Men’s World Championship on Sunday.
Fans who thought Lou Lamoriello’s inability to make some much-needed changes to his roster at the trade deadline would be his downfall can forget it.

It goes without saying that the 2023-24 season was a long one for the New York Islanders. After every game, it’s always important to remember that the season is 82 games long and thus overreactions to every win and loss are unnecessary.
