Isles Lock In Laurel Hollow's Marshall Warren

The Islanders are keeping a local kid in the pipeline, and that usually means the organization sees more than just a nice story. Marshall Warren has spent enough time around the pro game for the Isles to know exactly what they have, and this move says they are not ready to let another club test that evaluation. In NHL front offices, these are the kinds of depth decisions that rarely make noise now but can matter later when injuries and call-ups start chewing through a roster.
