With Kyle Palmieri and Adam Boqvist already re-signed to new deals, the Islanders head into the offseason with nearly $21 million in cap space and a handful of restricted free agents (most notably, Noah Dobson and Alexander Romanov) looking for new contracts as well.

Mathieu Darche has his work cut out for him in his first season as general manager of the New York Islanders. In addition to receiving the first overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Islanders also have a full slate of restricted and unrestricted free agents whose fates must be decided this summer. The club has already gotten a head start on their free agency dealings, inking defenseman Adam Boqvist and forward Kyle Palmieri to one- and two-year contracts, respectively.
