The New York Islanders and Josh Ho-Sang avoid arbitration by coming to an agreement on a single year deal.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Tuesday that the New York Islanders had come to an agreement with winger Josh Ho-Sang ahead of his scheduled arbitration hearing on October 30.

According to Friedman, the deal is for a single year with an NHL salary of $700,000 and a minor salary of $225,000. While that NHL salary is far less than the $917,831 his qualifying offer would have been, that minor’s salary is a substantial increase from what he received in 2019-20 ($70,000).
