With Ryan Murray signing with the Colorado Avalanche, the New York Islanders options to add a left-handed defenseman through the free-agent market are, well, to put it lightly, limited.

And look the Islanders aren’t looking to add any left-handed defenseman. Ideally, they’re looking for a puck-moving, more offensive-minded defenseman to replace Nick Leddy. And as you can imagine, they aren’t in abundance. Or even available at all at this point in the free agency window.

New York Islanders options on LHD free-agent market are…slim

According to CapFriendly, there are ten left-handed free agents on the market right now.
