The cap-strapped New York Islanders were searching for scoring depth as free agency began. They've turned to winger Anthony Duclair, signing him to a four-year contract with an average annual value of $3.5 million.

Duclair, 28, is a well-traveled winger. Since his NHL debut in 2014-15, he's skated for the New York Rangers, Arizona Coyotes, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Ottawa Senators, Florida Panthers, San Jose Sharks and Tampa Bay Lightning.

In recent years, Duclair has developed into a good second-line scorer. He netted a career-high 31 goals in 2021-22 with the Panthers and had 24 goals and 42 points last season split between the Sharks and Lightning.

Duclair will be reunited with Isles bench boss Patrick Roy, who coached the winger during his Junior A days with the Quebec Remparts. With his speed and quick release, he's a decent low-cost option who should regularly provide the Islanders with 20 goals per season.
