A day after salary cap concerns forced them into trading one of their top defensemen, the Islanders announced the signings of two players for organizational depth on Tuesday.
The Islanders re-signed restricted free-agent defenseman Grant Hutton, 25, to a two-year, two-way deal and signed unrestricted free-agent forward Austin Czarnik to a two-year deal that is a two-way contract in the first season and a one-way deal worth $750,000 in 2021-22.
