The Islanders are ****ed for cap. They have to sign Toews, Pulock, and Barzal and all 3 will take up all of the available cap space they have. Toews probably won’t be too bad, probably $3.5 million AAV for 3 years. Pulock will be somewhere in between at 5 years, $5 million AAV, which is manageable but not completely ideal either. Barzal is gonna be the worst one. He’s definitely getting 8 years, and probably somewhere between $8.5-9.5 million AAV. I can see him taking it down to $8.75 million AAV at the cheapest, but even that puts the Islanders over the cap. Every UFA they have is probably gone and they’re probably gonna buyout Boychuk, who won’t bring too bad of a flat cap for too long since he’s over 35 years old. But you still have Ladd to deal with and I doubt there’s a team out there willing to take him unless you give up a treasure trove of assets.
