With the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics wrapped up, and the announcement of the 2034 Winter Olympics returning to Salt Lake City, national pride is on the mind.
The Islanders made one of the smartest free agent signings of the offseason when they signed forward Anthony Duclair to a four-year contract.
Dobber Hockey asked on Thursday: “Antony Duclair had to cut his hair due to Lou Lamoriello’s “cut and shaven” policy. Is this rule getting outdated, or does it still define Lou’s Team identity?” He’s not the only one wondering when enough is enough.

Free agency has begun, and the signings are coming in hot. Even the New York Islanders, a team that rarely makes a move, got in on the party, signing Anthony Duclair and re-signing Mike Reilly.
Lou Lamoriello finally did it. The New York Islanders general manager (GM) signed a player in free agency and for all intents and purposes, he made a splash in the offseason arguably for the first time in his tenure with the team.

Rather than bolstering his roster and making an addition to help ensure the New York Islanders make the playoffs, team president/general manager Lou Lamoriello opted to hold onto his chips by standing pat at the NHL’s trade deadline.
Rarely, if ever, do you hear a peep, nor a whisper, much less a rumor out of the front office of the New York Islanders. But this NHL trade deadline season was even quieter than usual, and it made all the more sense when the clock struck 3 p.m.
