With Ryan Pulock signing a bridge deal with the Islanders, will Lou Lamoriello do it again with Mathew Barzal next?
The Islanders were wise to get Ryan Pulock signed on a team-friendly deal. Actually, it’s a win-win for both sides. It gives him some certainty now, $10 million over two years, a significant raise for him, while also allowing for him to cash in again.
