The Islanders face potential roster changes as many defensemen become pending free agents, with the season finale providing crucial auditions. Players like Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock are certain to stay, while others, including DeAngelo and Boqvist, may leave. Young defenseman Isaiah George shows promise for the upcoming season, while Scott Mayfield's status remains uncertain amid trade considerations. DeAngelo, tied with Noah Dobson for scoring, seems the most likely to return due to consistency at the top pairing, highlighting the evolving dynamics of the Islanders' defense lineup.
"With the uncertainty around several defensemen, including Dobson, the Islanders' season finale against the Blue Jackets served as an important audition for those seeking a roster spot."
"DeAngelo has made a compelling case for returning to the Islanders, being a reliable presence on the ice and often playing in the top pairing."
