Are The Islanders Still A Basement Team?

From the Hockey News.

The Islanders are predicted to finish 15th in the Conference again according to the Hockey News.

"Why: The John Tavares Era begins this year on Long Island – but unfortunately for Islanders fans, too much of their lousy past remains. Their thin pools of talent at just about every position and their ultra-tough competition in the Atlantic Division makes a playoff spot this year highly unlikely."

I'll have more on this later. They have not posted who will finish ahead of the Islanders in 14th place. My opinion, no way they finish last in the conference again. The Islanders maybe a top 5-10 lottery pick again, but certainly not in last in the conference. I think most Islander fans will be pleasantly surprised his year. More to come on this story. What's your thoughts?
