Islanders’ Sebastian Aho: Unknown role
Sebastian Aho is finally expected to see some playing time with the New York Islanders this season, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.The exact role for Aho likely depends on what the Islanders end up doing with Thomas Hickey. Assuming Hickey is not traded, then either he or Aho will likely be the seventh defenseman while the other goes to the taxi squad. While Hickey could be sent to the AHL, Aho can’t without passing through waivers. Aho has scored 105 points in 156 AHL games and has proven he’s ready for the next step in his evolution. Even if Aho is placed on the taxi squad, the Islanders may elect to choose him over Hickey or anyone else should they need a replacement for more than a game or two for a current defender as Aho is considered to be in the long-term plan on defense and is next man up.

Sebastian Aho put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the New York Islanders on Monday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.Aho’s deal will start as a two-way contract before converting to a one-way for the 2021-22 season. The defenseman hasn’t appeared in an NHL game since 2017-18 in which he saw action in 22 games for the Isles and earned one goal and three assists along the way. The 24-year-old was significantly more productive in the minors and should get a shot at a spot in the 23-man for Opening Night.
