Andy Greene to retire a Devil Ryan Novozinsky: The New Jersey Devils have signed defenseman Andy Greene to a one-day contract and he’ll retire a Devil.
The New Jersey Devils have brought back a long-time captain for one more day. Andy Greene has signed a one-day contract with the team to retire as a member of the Devils, after a 16-year NHL career.
The coaching change for the New York Islanders is one of the biggest stories for the team heading into next season.
Lamoriello said that despite having “many different options” in terms of free agent targets, the price to pay to upgrade at one position would have possibly downgraded the Islanders at another position.
The Blue Jackets were able to lock up one of their top young talents, inking Oliver Bjorkstrand to a five-year, $27 million extension.
The NHL postponed two of New York's games and paused the club's season through the end of November due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the squad.
Losing Anthony Beauvillier and Adam Pelech, in particular, is tough to swallow for the Islanders, who are 5-6-2 after their season-opening 13-game road trip.
It can’t come soon enough, as I’m sure they’d tell you themselves. Andy Greene tonight played his 1,000th game. That was about the only highlight of the New York Islanders’ return to Tampa, Florida—well, that and the chippyness.
It will be a special game for Andy Greene. The New York Islanders' long, international nightmare is nearly over. They have only two games left on their road trip, the second-longest ever and the longest to open a season in NHL history, and they’re both in the state of Florida.
The New York Islanders have high expectations for the 2021-2022 season. There’s no denying what this team’s goal is. They came very close the last two seasons but there’s only one more job remaining and that’s to win the whole thing.
When the New York Islanders traded for Andy Greene in 2020, the assumption was that he would only be a rental. Well, he played his 10 regular-season games that year and 21 playoff games and then re-signed with the Islanders.
After trading away Nick Leddy in an effort to clear cap space, the New York Islanders are in the market for a left pair defenseman, preferably someone who can play on the second pair as Andy Greene’s top-four days are long gone.
Greene is now under contract and has more than enough games to his credit this past season to serve as the Islanders’ expansion exposure prop.
With these three contracts, the Isles sit at $5.29 million over the cap with room for another minimum contract to be added to final roster.
