Christian Arnold of NYI Hockey Now: The New York Islanders don’t really have much salary cap space to dip into the free agent market as they still need to re-sign restricted free agents in Mathew Barzal and Ryan Pulock.
If they were able to fit in a free agent, former Ottawa Senators forward Anthony Duclair could be an option.
Duclair wasn’t qualified by the Senators and he didn’t want the ‘substantial raise’ they were offering him. There have been a few teams to show interest, but he remains available.
