Last week we heard from New York Islanders RFA Anthony Beauvillier and his agent Philippe Lecavalier talk about a new deal. Beau talked about his confidence in staying with the Isles and his agent was confident they’d get a short-term deal from the club.
All of that is certainly true. There aren’t teams out there running to offer sheet Anthony Beauvillier. The only way Beau leaves the Islanders is thanks to a trade.
A two-year deal seems like Lou Lamoriello’s M.O. Both Ryan Pulock and Devon Toews got two-year deals after their ELC was over.
