This will only be Ryan Pulock‘s third year in the NHL, and he’s already the New York Islanders numbers one defenseman. The former 15th overall pick has become that solid top-tier defenseman the Islanders were hoping for back in 2013.
Ever since he made his full NHL start back in 2017-18, Ryan Pulock has steadily been getting better and better. Last season he put up 37 points to lead the New York Islanders defensemen. A spot usually held by Nick Leddy.
Now he’s entering the final year of a two-year $4 million bridge deal.
