There will be peace in our time. Which means we don’t have to worry about there being an interruption in New York Islanders hockey for at least three seasons.
After some concern that the NHL owners or the players (NHLPA) would exercise their option to open the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) early, they have both agreed to continue to work and play under the current CBA which does not expire until the end of the 2021-2022 season.

In my opinion and as currently constructed, the New York Islanders will make the playoffs this year but I do not think they will make a serious Stanley Cup run.
