The New York Islanders have an interesting franchise history, but their fans have always been partial to the original logo which the team wore in establishing its dynasty from 1979-1983. We know they rallied hard against the Fisherman logo in the 1990s before it was replaced with the original logo, and we've seen other logos land with thuds as Islanders fans made it clear as to which logo they prefer. When the third jersey contest was announced for the 2027-28 season, every option was back in ...
As a guy who has a fairly robust hockey jersey collection, I can tell you that there are many jerseys I never would have in my collection simply because they don't have that certain quality that makes people love them or hate them. For example, the Justin Bieber-designed Toronto Maple Leafs jersey would not be in my collection because it's literally forgettable. Compared to jerseys like the Islanders' Fisherman and the Oilers' Todd McFarlane alternates, the Bieber jerseys simply aren't that gr...
The New York Islanders officially unveiled their fans’ pick for the team’s new third jersey, and one thing’s for sure: the Gorton’s Fisherman should have no trouble finding his way home. The Isles are going with a Navy Lighthouse design as their new alternate sweater and will begin wearing it during the 2027-28 season. The

As things stand now, in mid-August…do you see the 2026-27 Islanders as a playoff team? Personally, I do not. Or rather, they’re a bubble team at best. A couple guys’ return to health might help, but it also might take a while for Kyle Palmieri and Alex Romanov to truly get back up to speed. […]
The New York Islanders are getting closer to finalizing their third jersey design for the 2026-27 season.
Last season was a glimpse of what’s to come in the Matthew Schaefer era of Islanders hockey. But can he lead this team back to the postseason?

The NHL’s annual summer team-by-team look has now rolled around to the Islanders. I’m not linking the fantasy outlook, but here are their posts about the non-fantasy team and prospects: Elsewhere
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. “ The noise that I heard about Patrik Laine cam...
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.

Frank Seravalli's projection, a five-year, $95.5 million contract carrying a $19.1 million average annual value, might be enough to get Schaefer under contract when he becomes extension-eligible next summer. 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...
