The Islanders, as far as we know, have yet to complete step one of the offseason: deciding whether or not to make a change at the top.
It’s hard to see much happening before Lou Lamoriello’s status is resolved. Though the Isles did announce on Monday that Hudson Fasching was signed to a two-year extension, it’s hard to do business when the general manager’s status is unclear.
That said, there’s not all that much the Islanders could do right now anyway.
Though they could make trades with other eliminated clubs, it is a rarity to see anything consequential happen before the playoffs end.
