With Cal Clutterbuck and Casey Cizikas on the New York Islanders fourth line, the Isles are paying $6.85 million per year. And they have to do that for the next four years, at least. They got an extra year of Cal Clutterbuck’s $3.5 million salary.
So the question is: are they worth it? Are they worth the money the Islanders pay these players?
Generally, your fourth line players aren’t big earners. They don’t chew up a ton of your cap space. That money is reserved for star players. Players that can make an impact over 20+ minutes a night.
