3 Islanders RFAs Who Need Re-Signed

3 Islanders RFAs Who Need Re-Signed

October 5th, 2019 The summer of 2020 will be an interesting one for the New York Islanders as the team will work to lock up three key restricted free agents (RFA) prior to July 1. Ticketed for raises will be dynamic center Mathew Barzal, along with emerging top four defensemen Ryan Pulock and Devon Toews. So what will these three players next contracts...
Islanders' Ho-Sang Must Seize Opportunity

Islanders' Ho-Sang Must Seize Opportunity

August 28th, 2019 Training camp in 2019 is when Joshua Ho-Sang will meet with opportunity. We cannot predict what the highly skilled forward will do with this chance, but the potential impact on the New York Islanders forwards could be a needed boost to the team’s offense. Ho-Sang signed a one-year, two-way deal on Aug. 19, after the 2018-19 season...

Will Garth Snow Get a Second Chance at GM Job?

August 18th, 2019 It’s been over a year since Garth Snow was removed as New York Islanders team president and general manager in favour of Lou Lamoriello. Snow sightings in an official Islanders capacity have been limited to the 2018 Draft ever since. But could the senior advisor to the president and general manager emerge as a legitimate GM candidate...

Islanders Gamble Varlamov Can Replace Lehner

August 10th, 2019 Can anyone blame New York Islanders fans for being upset with the departure of goaltender Robin Lehner as a free agent on July 1? After all, Lehner departed the team on a one-year, $5 million contract to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Islanders answer to their goaltending situation? Signing Colorado Avalanche castoff Semyon Varlamov to a...
Islanders Have Decisions to Make on Dobson

Islanders Have Decisions to Make on Dobson

August 6th, 2019 The New York Islanders are going to be forced to make a roster decision they do not want to make: what to do with elite, defensive prospect Noah Dobson. Should he make the Islanders roster out of training camp or should he be sent back to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for one more season? Dobson,...
Filppula Departure Will Impact Islanders' Penalty Kill

Filppula Departure Will Impact Islanders' Penalty Kill

August 1st, 2019 On the surface, losing Valtteri Filppula doesn’t seem all that significant for the New York Islanders, but a closer look should have fans concerned. While Filppula’s offensive production, 17 goals and 14 assists, seems pedestrian, he was one of eight Islanders to score double-digit goals on a team starved for offense. His...
