Salo, who turns 24 in October, is one of few players in the Islanders’ system who could make an NHL impact sooner rather than later.
Not only does he already have some experience, he also plays a position — left-side defense — that has a wide-open spot on a depth chart that otherwise features a lot written in pen.
“I would say just strength for me, and explosiveness,” Salo said, regarding his focus over the summer. “Just because [it’s] a little bit more of a physical game here than in Europe. I think that kind of stuff, just being a little bit harder, better defensively.” “You don’t want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Salo said. “Just like being smart in that kind of way, just being effective and giving no space for the forward.”Since coming over, Salo has developed a friendship with Grant Hutton, another defendman who spent most of last season at AHL Bridgeport and has a chance to make the roster this season. The two play different styles, Hutton employing more of a defense-first mentality, and like to pick each others’ brains.
