Short-Term Status:
Next season, I believe Ty Wishart will be used as a depth defenseman for this Islanders club. He will be given a chance to make the team out of training camp but I believe due to the large amount of defensemen under contract he will be a final cut. If that's what ends up happening he will take over a role as the top defenseman down in Bridgeport. Along with that, he will be the first call-up when the injury bug hits.
Long-Term Status:
His future is a bit up in the air as his upside seems to be a bit of a home-run or strikeout style which means that there is very little wiggle room between the two. The upside of his potential seems to be that of a big top-four defenseman who eats many minutes while contributing on both sides of the puck. The down-side is he will become a depth defenseman that adds size to the back-end but is only used in limited situations.

Review:
Heading into this season the Lightning viewed Ty Wishart as a bit of question mark. He was heading into his 3rd straight season playing in the AHL and was pushed far enough down the depth chart that he had become a bit of a forgotten player for Tampa Bay. Some fans were quick to call him a bust while others said that he, with a little more time, could become a solid NHL'er. He ended up starting the year in Norfolk with the Lightning's AHL affiliate, and in 31 games put up a respectable 18 points with a plus/minus of +13. The Islanders obviously felt that he may have the potential to one-day be a good NHL player because on January 1st they traded one of their hottest commodities in Dwayne Roloson, away to acquire his services. The Islanders assigned Wishart to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and right away was 2nd on the team in points. He became the top call-up from Bridgeport and when ever the team had a spot open due to injury he was the one who got the call. In his time up with the Islanders he generally played well minus a few minor rough games. He put up 5 points in 20 games but it was obvious that although he is capable his specialty may not be in the offensive zone. In his own zone however, he looked impressive. He didn't use his body (physically) as much as one would like but he did use his reach and stature to clog passing lanes and to block shots very effectively. He was rarely on the ice when the opposing team scored and had a solid plus/minus of +5. Along with his good play defensively in his own zone, he looked very good moving the puck in his zone. He made some very nice first passes and helped create a better break-out. During the last few games of the season his ice-time was dramatically increased. Through the first 17 games with the Isles, Ty Wishart averaged 15:51 TOI per game, but in the last three games of the season he averaged 23:06 TOI per game and in the final game of the season he led all Islanders in Ice time with 24:43. The fact that his ice time increased that drastically shows that the coaching staff was happy with his play and were fine with handing him extra responsibility.

Season Grade (A+ to F-): B-
Once he was traded to the Islanders I was not too sure as to what to expect due to the multitude of mixed opinions on his future. But as a pleasant surprise, it looks as though Wishart has the size and potential to turn into a decent defenseman especially in his own zone. He definitely did not look out of place in his time in the NHL but I believe it would be best if he began next season down in Bridgeport, of coarse depending on what happens with his contract this summer which should end up being qualified.
