After playing in the NHL for 15 seasons, Travis Zajac decided to call it a career. The long-time New Jersey Devil was a trade deadline acquisition for the New York Islanders this past year and provided solid depth to the bottom six in 13 regular-season games and 14 playoff games.
The expectation was that Travis Zajac was going to return in a 13th forward kind of role with New York this year but with his retiring that throws a wrench into that idea.
When looking at the Islanders’ current contracts they have 14 forwards signed.
