NHL13 New York Islanders Player Ratings

EA Sports’ NHL13 player ratings are out, negating any need for a formal 2012 training camp.

I’d like to be the first to congratulate virtual Matt Donovan for beating out the competition in what was surely a heated battle for the sixth defenseman spot.

Nice to see a virtual NHL arbitrator saw fit for Lubo to join the team. He and Streit both lost five-points from NHL12’s 87 ratings. I guess Streit was five points more valuable last year after his season-ending shoulder injury – tough break.

Better luck next year to virtual Ryan Strome, who’ll seemingly spend another season in the OHL. I guess he didn’t impress in training camp. Kid just isn’t clutch – ask Russia.

Moulson’s three-straight 30-goal season, it turns out, were just flukes. He’s an 82 this season – you’re prototypical “B-minus” NHLer.

Oh, and JT finishing seventh in the league in scoring last year and playing in his first All-Star game? That’s good for a two-point downgrade from his 87 rating in NHL12.
