With CapFriendly officially going dark, NHL fans have been forced to analyze their favorite team’s depth chart in a different place. New York Islanders fans are used to general manager Lou Lamoriello’s mysterious habits, so with the removal of CapFriendly, it has only become increasingly difficult to assess the team’s roster.
Took me three days to come up with that joke that somebody else probably already made. Please clap. Fresh body, fresh thread. We have officially entered the dead of the offseason; there is very little news to report about our New York Islanders.
The New York Islanders have a lot of decisions to make this offseason, specifically regarding the team’s long-term future. Despite posing as contenders, there is a lot of uncertainty in the current roster, leaving the future of the core up in the air.
The dust is settling in the offseason and we’re at that point in the summer, after all the big signings happen, where there isn’t a lot going on. If the New York Islanders hope to upgrade their roster, aside from the Anthony Duclair addition, any improvement will come in a trade.
On July 1 last year, the Islanders signed four long-term contract extensions for Pierre Engvall, Scott Mayfield, Ilya Sorokin, and Semyon Varlamov. Since then, the cap has risen and is expected to continue rising, while the contracts signed by the Islanders last year are aging into the cap.
With the New York Islanders making three selections within the first two rounds of the 2024 Draft, a lot of buzz in the media has been around the team’s improved prospect pool.
The New York Islanders have added veteran forward depth. It comes in the form of a former first-round pick from the 2018 NHL entry draft. The draftee in question is Liam Foudy, the 18th overall pick for the Columbus Blue Jackets in that draft.
The New York Islanders signed forward Tyce Thompson to a one-year, two-way contract on Wednesday, according to PuckPedia. The deal is worth $775,000 in the NHL and $175,000 in the minors, with $200,000 guaranteed.

It’s that time in the offseason where all the action has wound down and there aren’t a lot of moves to be made. The signings are in the past and the next big thing that could happen, if at all, is a trade.
The New York Islanders defense was often criticized last season as old and slow, struggling to keep up with the opposition’s speed. For the first time in general manager (GM) Lou Lamoriello’s tenure, the unit was a weakness, allowing 3.15 goals per game.
The majority of the 2025 NHL Free Agency class has come and gone. The New York Islanders kept Mike Reilly and made a rare July 1 splash by signing Anthony Duclair to a four-year, $14 million deal.
Yesterday was the Fourth of July, usually the sign that the NHL summer is genuinely beginning to taper off. However, there was far more smoke than usual out there.
Since the start of the week, the New York Islanders have been fairly quiet in free agency, as their only notable moves were re-signing defenseman Mike

The New York Islanders 2023-24 season was disappointing in nearly every aspect imaginable. The top six needed another offensive threat, the bottom six provided zero offense and average-at-best defense, the defensive core couldn’t stay healthy, and goaltending was a struggle.

The New York Islanders had a surprisingly-eventful opening to free agency compared to previous dull offseasons. After a successful 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the team signed Anthony Duclair to a four-year, $14 million contract and Mike Reilly to a team-friendly one-year, $1.25 million contract.
The team on Long Island is adding some organizational depth up front. On Tuesday, the New York Islanders signed forward Marc Gatcomb to a one-year, two-way contract.
