Brennin Weiswerda wrote an article for RMNB listing all the teams that are and are not paying arena workers during the league suspension. As of Thursday, the NHL season is suspended with no return date in sight due to COVID-19.
On this list, the New York Islanders fall onto the team that is not paying the arena workers. While at the surface level this looks like a scummy thing for Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky to do there's a very good reason why the Islanders aren't paying the workers. They don't own the arena.
