It always feels quiet until the Islanders announce a cap deal.
No overnight breaking news, so if you had to guess, which would you say is the next shoe to drop: A Johnny Boychuk trade, a bottom six (re)signing, or one of the two remaining key RFAs agreeing to terms?
We know Ryan Pulock’s next deal will be sorted one way or another by mid-November, but Mathew Barzal can likely afford to wait till mid-winter to see which way the cap and pandemic winds are blowing. If he wants to.
