5. Anthony Beauvillier

Cap Hit: $894,167
Production: 8 points, 21 games

That production sounds low for a winger playing in the Islanders top six. And it true, it is. But after a 16 game stint with just a single point, Beau has turned it up recently.

In his last five games Beauvillier has five goals and seven points. That’s right. Beauvillier is scoring at a rate of 1.4 points-per-game.

It seems that after a very slow start to the season Beau is back to that killer form from the second-half season of 2017-18. And Beau is making $894,167 on the Islanders cap.

Just like Mathew Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier is taking up less than a million on the cap but is returning top six production.
