Another RFA signs short term deal

We can cross off the name of another restricted free agent who decided to agree to a new deal, however, the most watched players still remain unsigned, notably Toronto Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner, Calgary Flames' Matthew Tkachuk and Colorado Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen. 

The good news in all this however is that the New York Islanders have managed to bring back young forward Anthony Beauvillier on a two-year contract. 

The young RFA is coming off a pair of strong seasons in Brooklyn that saw him record a combined total of 39 goals and 64 points over those two campaigns.

The 22-year-old, who was selected 28th overall by the Islanders back in 2015, was looking to come back with the club, but negotiations had been going back and forth with general manager Lou Lamoriello in the past months. 

While financial terms of the deal have not official disclosed by the club, we sure hope the kid got what he deserves after two strong seasons. It was later revealed that Beauvillier will cash in $2.1 million per season with his new contract. 

The Islanders have managed to ink all of their restricted free agents, but we all know there are a lot more to watch out for across the NHL…
