The New York Islanders signed forward Anthony Duclair to a four-year, $14 million contract Monday as NHL free agency ramped into full swing.
It's rare for Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello to reel in significant free agent acquisitions, but he made the exception for Duclair, who should offer needed scoring depth.
Duclair, 28, will be joining his ninth team. He split last season between the San Jose Sharks and Tampa Bay Lightning, collecting 24 goals and 42 points.
Despite the many moves, Duclair has built his reputation on being a reliable offensive threat for contending teams.
When he struggled to find his offensive game with the rebuilding Sharks, Duclair was traded to the Lightning and rebounded with an excellent stretch for Tampa Bay that he has now parlayed into a longer-term agreement with the Islanders.
New York has perennially been challenged in the offensive depth department -- particularly in the postseason -- and Duclair is a middle-six forward who can slot in almost anywhere and have an impact. He will boost New York's attack in all areas and give the Islanders some dimension to help them compete in the competitive Metropolitan Division.
