The New York Islanders have been searching for a top-six winger and they signed veteran left-winger Anthony Duclair to a four-year deal, ending a longstanding quest for a consistent scoring threat.
Duclair has been linked to the Islanders for years, finally securing a long-term deal after playing for eight different teams in his career while maintaining a reputation for goal-scoring consistency.
Duclair has demonstrated goal-scoring proficiency, averaging 27 goals per 82 games since the 2019-20 season, including a notable 31-goal season with the Florida Panthers in 2021-22.
Duclair's addition addresses a critical need for the Islanders, providing a dynamic goal-scoring option to complement Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal on the first line, rectifying a significant gap in the team's roster.
