New York Islander 25 and Under Roster

After losing John Tavares two years ago, it looked like all was lost for the Islander. Now, however, it does not look like they really need him, as they are only one point out of a playoff spot this season. They are lead by great stars like Mathew Barzal and Brock Nelson. We know that New York is a great team now, but how do they look like going into the future?
