SO much going on as NHL free agency kicks off (though most of the big names are already off the board), the Isles announced a big signing, and prospect development camp is underway.
The Islanders officially issued qualifying offers to Simon Holmstrom, new acquisition Emil Heineman, Max Tsyplakov and Marc Gatcomb.
Notably, Samuel Bolduc — whose stock absolutely plummeted ever since an injury interrupted a “looked great in camp” fall a few seasons ago — and Scott Perunovich did not receive QOs.
- Alex Romanov, however, needed no qualifying offer because he re-upped for eight years, $6.
