One of the New York Islanders first signings of the offseason could steal a roster spot this season and steal the show for the Isles in 2021.

About a week into the free agency period, the New York Islanders quietly signed their first two players. Austin Czarnik was one of the two players and he signed a two-year contract with an average annual value of $725,000.
