The New York Islanders Re-Signed a Free Agent to Begin the Next Set of Moves Before the NHL Draft

The New York Islanders signed pending restricted free agent Kyle MacLean to a new, three-year contract extension with a $775,000 cap hit. This crosses one thing off GM Lou Lamoriello's to-do list as we get closer to the NHL Draft and free agency. We explain why this was a good move by Lou and how MacLean fits into the team's plans for 2024-25. We also continue our profile of players the Isles could select with the 20th overall pick in the draft with center Cole Beaudoin, We break down his strengths and weaknesses and discuss why he would be a good fit for the Islanders organization. And we continue our player by player look at the Isles season with Grant Hutton and Ken Appleby, two players who spent most of the season in Bridgeport but who played a handful of games with the big club. Do either of them fit into the team's plans going forward? And we have a four-time Stanley Cup winner as our Islanders birthday of the day, a player who may have been the biggest trade steal ever by Bill Torrey.
