Brooklyn’s Barclays Center is pressuring the New York Islanders to sign a new lease that will eventually have them play a majority of their home games at the Nassau Coliseum while their Belmont arena is being built, The Post has learned.
If the team doesn’t agree to a new lease, Barclays will opt out of the lease after the 2018-19 season, possibly leaving the Islanders homeless, a source said.
The Islanders have already agreed to play up to a third of their home games at the much smaller Coliseum — but that offer doesn’t seem to be enough for the executives at Barclays, sources said.
