Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock are having a good offseason.
The Islanders’ top-pair defensemen have watched other relatively comparable blue-liners agree to lucrative deals. That will only increase the value of the new deals both have coming.
Pelech is currently a restricted free agent with arbitration rights and one of president and general manager Lou Lamoriello’s top offseason priorities. Pulock will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason.
Saturday marked a fourth straight day since the free agent market opened on Wednesday that the Islanders maintained complete radio silence, leaving only connect-the-dots speculation as to what Lamoriello has planned or has already accomplished.
