With the cap situation not getting any better in 2021-2022, the Islanders could very well lose Casey Cizikas next year.
Saying goodbye to a player like Casey Cizikas won’t be easy but it’s something that the Islanders might have to do next year due to the cap situation. He’s heading into the final year of his contract which carries a $3.35 million cap hit.
As Arthur Staple talked about this week on The Athletic, there’s a chance that the Isles are priced out of Cizikas due to the flat cap and the need to sign Ilya Sorokin, Anthony Beauvillier, and Adam Pelech.
