After a relatively healthy first quarter of the season, the injury bug has stung the NY Islanders deep.
With Alexander Romanov likely ruled out for the remainder of the regular season after undergoing shoulder surgery, and Kyle Palmieri done for the year with a torn ACL, the Isles have the option of placing both on LTIR, potentially freeing up $11M in cap space. This would be in addition to Pierre Engvall’s $3 million that is already on LTIR, and could potentially include Semyon Varlamov’s $2.75 million if Mathieu Darche elects to do so.
In total, that’s a maximum of $16.
