His conversation on “The Other 31” show delved into several key topics, including the Islanders’ decision to bring in former Stars head coach Pete DeBoer. This strategic hire is seen as a pivotal move for the franchise as they look to build upon their recent performances.

Rosner also tackled the pressing question of who will wear the captain’s ‘C’ following Anders Lee’s departure. The Islanders are at a crossroads, and the choice of their next captain will undoubtedly shape the team’s identity moving forward.
