What I would do

If Trotz was smart, Zajac kills us. I’m pretty positive to expect him in the lineup against the Penguins. But this roster doesn’t look like it’ll be able to even compete with the Penguins. Best of luck though.

Every hockey insider, every analyst and every single team's fan base says this every single year and they're usually all wrong. People look at the Islanders offensive numbers and think they suck, they always forget defense wins games too and the Islanders are one of the best in the league at that kind of game. Good luck to you as well.

Zajac is washed and he will not be in the lineup tomorrow

Now this is a solid lineup - but trotz is too conservative, this will never happen. He refuses to get out of his comfort zone and it will end up costing them the series
