So? Is Sutton garanteed to re-sign also? Could very well retire.
Anyways, I'll wait and see how Clouston is gonna manage this line up.

Only if he is better than someone in the lineup, which he won't be once Foligno returns.

Phillips has excellent offensive instincts but he's been pigeonholed into a strictly defensive role. There's nothing wrong with having a forward playing the point, just as long as it's not at the expense of capable offensive defensemen. And that has happened WAY too much this season.

Foligno is also better than Shannon.

Sounds like someone has also been asking Islanders fans their advice on Sutton.

Shhh, people will think I'm only getting information from nameless/faceless Isles fans instead of the all knowing fans on GMhockey
