The New York Islanders may have gotten cold feet after reports indicated they were among the teams interested in Patrik Laine.
Patrik Laine remains one of the most intriguing available players in NHL free agency. The Montreal Canadiens have made it clear they have no interest in bringing the 28-year-old winger back to Quebec. The New York Islanders emerged as a potential landing spot at one point, but it appears that is no longer the case.

It’s true that Aatu Räty was drafted more than five years ago, at 52nd overall in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. It’s true that he’s since played 114 NHL games spread over parts of three seasons for the New York Islanders and the Vancouver Canucks. But at the same time, it also feels true that…
The “32 in 32” series has begun at the Official NHL site, so it must be August and we must be inching forward in the offseason.

Matthew Schaefer could take a discount to help NY Islanders build.
Matthew Schaefer isn't eligible to sign a contract extension for another year, but the number attached to his future deal keeps climbing anyway.

The reasoning traces to the rising salary cap. The league's cap ceiling is set to jump to $113.5 million in 2027-28, which would push the maxim...

Although interested, the New York Islanders have their doubts about signing Patrik Laine after his adversity-filled time with the Montreal Canadiens.
Patrik Laine has made it clear he wants to play in the NHL during the 2026-27 season. However, he’ll have to prove himself after being away from the ice for far too long. With his contract with the Montreal Canadiens having expired, Laine is on the lookout for a fresh start. The New York Islanders may be intrigued, but they have little to no in...
There's a seven-time 20-goal scorer on the free agent market, but the actual 'market' for him still appears to be kind of tepid. Very tepid, in fact. Patrik Laine is still out there, and while one or two teams have come up in rumors, there's no rush to get him signed. One club, the New York Islanders , would only have interest in even taking a look at Laine if it doesn't cost them anything, per Stefan Rosner of The Elmonters . From what I’ve been told, the Islanders did have conver...
