New York is the biggest sports market in the United States, and it's a magnet for superstars. The Rangers, Islanders and Devils boast a plethora of talented players.
For the first time in a long time, the Islanders might have some margin for error heading into a season.
Garth Snow spent nearly $37 million on veteran free agent forwards Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin on Wednesday and then went on WFAN with Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on Thursday to talk about it.
After having a somewhat disappointing opening day of free agency, the Islanders bounced back on Day 2, reaching agreements with a pair of veteran forwards.
NHL free agency frenzy kicked off Tuesday, and there was enough money thrown around to end world hunger. But sometimes, general managers and owners act irresponsibly with their wallets.
It's no secret the biggest problem the Islanders had during the 2013-14 season was goaltending. It shouldn't be a problem anymore.
Free agency opens up on Tuesday and, with it, Garth Snow's window to piece together a competitive roster. This is easily the most important summer of his tenure and, arguably, the most important one in the history of the Islanders.
The NHL and the NHL Players' Association say the salary cap for the 2014-15 season is going up to $69 million after a year of record revenues.
The Islanders held onto the No. 5 pick in the NHL draft, and came away with forward Michael Dal Colle on Friday night.
Brad Richards playing on Long Island? It's possible.
Over the next two days, the NBA and NHL will welcome in the next generation of prospects. When you're taken first, you're expected to be a game-changer. Here are 15 players who lived up to the hype.
The Islanders tried, but it might end up being the Rangers who seal the deal.
The Islanders generally don't give up on young talent. But that doesn't mean at this point they won't move a player in the right deal.
The Islanders are at a crossroads and have a lot of questions to answer this offseason. I figured I'd sit down with Pro Hockey Talk's James O'Brien and ask him a few of those questions.
Charles Wang either can't make up his mind or is just content to take his sweet time. Regardless, Andrew Barroway is fully prepared to purchase a controlling interest in the New York Islanders.
