The NY Islanders have options in free agency if they can't come to terms with Mike Reilly

The NHL Draft has come and gone with Lou Lamoriello and the NY Islanders electing to stand pat, using all six of their selections.

The next order of business to bolster the roster is through free agency, which is set to begin at noon today.

The Islanders don't have much cap space, with only $5.825M to spend before reaching the cap ceiling. To make any sort of splash in the free-agent market, Lamoriello will need to shed some salary by way of trade or buyout.

It appears that UFA's Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck will hit the open market, as the long-time Islanders may be looking for a new home for the first time in a while.

Mike Reilly is the other roster player from last season on an expiring contract, but according to Stefan Rosener of The Hockey News, the Islanders and Reilly's camp have been working on an extension.

Reilly was claimed off waivers for the Florida Panthers in November, becoming an integral part of the Islanders' run to the playoffs. Outside of Noah Dobson, Reilly was the one blueliner willing to get involved on the offensive end of the ice, finishing with 28 points (6 G, 18 A) in 59 games - the second-best offensive output of his career.

Set to turn 31 in two weeks, Reilly isn't getting any younger along with much of this Islanders roster. Still, he was a terrific fit with the team and the preference is to get a deal done.

With the deadline to extend qualifying offers passing yesterday, there is a handful of defensemen who will become free agents that weren't expected. If Reilly and the Islanders are unable to agree on a contract, Lamoriello has options he can turn to in free agency.
