29. New York Islanders
Last season: 23rd
One reason to be optimistic about the Islanders next year is a healthy Mathew Barzal. Despite a lack of production, he was showing a level of five-on-five dominance that suggested big things were coming. He’s grown nicely into his big deal and his contract is easily the Islanders’ best.
The other piece of good news: almost every deal signed by new GM Mathieu Darche has been on the right side of the ledger. Even Alexander Romanov’s deal looks fine amidst the landscape of other defense contracts signed this summer.
