It's not often that Doug Weight gets a look at guys like Linus Soderstrom.
Granted, it's tough when Soderstrom is 3,850 miles away winning a Swedish Hockey League title, but that's the beauty of the Islanders annual Mini Camp, having all the team's prospects are in one place.
"It's good to have a lot of young guys together and it'll help them in a couple of months. It's always a real fun week," the Islanders coach said. "It's more about the organization, them getting comfortable with our people, with our culture, whether it's weightlifting or nutrition and to get on the ice and see some of our coaches. I think it's more about the conversation and meeting each other."
