EAST MEADOW, NY — Tuesday night marked the conclusion of New York Islanders rookie camp, and I have to tell you:

I was very impressed by the pipeline as a whole.

There’s more skill than ever before, but more importantly, it’s not just one-dimensional skill with any of these guys.

Although there were many good stories this week, the biggest was the play of Victor Eklund and Cole Eiserman.

These are two kids who put in a ton of work this summer, and they came to play.

There was no rust. They brought their A-game from the moment rookie camp opened until it closed.

Now, they’ll look to carry that into main camp as they fight for roster spots, regardless of their chances.
