Presuming the Islanders want to go into free agency with as much cap space as possible, Josh Bailey’s days with the team may be over.
: The team’s longest-tenured player is unlikely to be with them next year.
Lou Lamoriello said he would rely on the “man-to-man” relationship he has with Josh Bailey to find what likely will be a new hockey home for the longtime Islander.If a trade is going to happen, though, it seems like the pool would be limited to teams with young rosters and cap space, where development would be prioritized over winning and where getting a draft pick as part of a deal to take on Bailey’s $5 million hit would be considered a win.
If the Islanders buy out Bailey, they’ll save $2.33 million against the cap this season at the cost of $1.16 million in 2024-25, when the cap is projected to spike. The math is going to get tight very, very fast — even if the Islanders can move Bailey’s entire cap hit.A smaller part of Lamoriello’s presser last week that stuck out nonetheless was his defensive response regarding Noah Dobson’s season, particularly given the expectations put on the 23-year-old by Lamoriello just under a year ago when signing the defenseman to a three-year, $12 million extension.
Noah Dobson struggled on both ends of the ice this past season, though Lamoriello felt the expectations he and the club placed on the 23-year-old were a bit unfair.Good on Lamoriello for acknowledging that foisting expectations on the defenseman was an error, though a large chunk of the hype came from Dobson’s own 2021-22 season as much as anything else.
