Just when it seemed that the New York Islanders were going to have a silent offseason, Lou Lamoriello pulled off one of the savviest, under-the-radar moves in the league. The Isles signed free agent Anthony Duclair to a four-year deal. 

The signing marked an effort to bolster the Isles’ top six. Last season, the New York Islanders lacked the sort of skill set that Duclair brings to the table. As a newcomer, Duclair will be looking to make an immediate impact on the team.  

But what can Isles’ fans expect from the team’s newest acquisition? Let’s explore the plus and minus sides of Anthony Duclair.
