That\u00a0is the internally-mandated deadline for all contract disputes between management and players. The policy was put in place by <strong>Charles Wang<\/strong>, the Islanders&#8217; previous owner. He wanted\u00a0prevent possibly vitriolic contract issues from carrying over into training camp; as well as\u00a0to ensure that players and coaches alike are focused solely on preparing for the coming season.<\/p>\n<h2>Ryan Strome Re-Signs With Islanders<\/h2>\n<p>Following a stellar 2014-15 regular season in which he accumulated 50 points in the form of 17 goals and 33 assists; Strome&#8217;s 2015-16 season proved to be quite the letdown. In 71 regular season games, he managed to add a paltry total of 28 points from eight goals and 20 assists. This matched his total of 28 penalty minutes on the season. Many pundits were adamant that 2015-16 would serve as Strome&#8217;s breakout year. The lack of production certainly hurt his position within the recent contract talks.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the eleventh-hour nature of this re-signing, Strome remained adamant throughout the process that he would reach a deal with the Islanders. He also insistes that he will\u00a0rebound from last year&#8217;s low production. To that end, a two-year, $5 million contract is in his best interest, as well as that of the club. If he manages to replicate or improve upon his 2014-15 totals, the Islanders will most likely offer him a long-term contract. If he shows that season to be a one-off, however, the short length of the contract will allow the club to reassess its&#8217; position regarding his spot on the team. This bridge deal gives Strome the opportunity to prove his worth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Image:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/527704264\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/527704264?et=PH85CCcYTsRJppagbmkO2w&amp;viewMoreLink=on&amp;sig=rQhdL1YPOK9OfELEMF2b5VIsLC4CwtwM5DQv-vxwBs4=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to multiple reports today, Ryan Strome has signed a new contract\u00a0with the\u00a0New York Islanders.\u00a0The terms are yet to be released officially, but reports suggest a two-year, $5 million contract. @NYIslanders announced that Ryan Strome has agreed to terms on a 2-year deal.
