New York Islanders Making Room for Barzal
While the off-season has begun for the New York Islanders, Mathew Barzal plays on in the Western Hockey League Conference Finals. The 2015 first-round pick once again showed this season in the WHL that he has a very bright future ahead in the NHL. The Islanders need to make room for Barzal.
The New York Islanders have to be happy with the season Mathew Barzal is having this year for the Seattle Thunderbirds. He compiled 79 points in just 41 regular-season games and was one of the core players for the T-Birds this past season.
Once the Thunderbirds season ends, the focus for Barzal will be playing for the Islanders full-time in 2017-18.
