The New York Islanders chose not to extend qualifying offers to their three restricted free agents—Marc Gatcomb, Max Shabanov, and Adam Boqvist—indicating their likely departure from the team. Although Gatcomb, who had a regular role last season, may still be a candidate for unrestricted free agency, the team’s general manager confirmed Boqvist’s lack of qualification due to limited playtime. Shabanov’s release follows a season marked by frequent healthy scratches. Meanwhile, minor leaguers Alex Jeffries, Joey Larson, and Henrik Tikkanen received qualifying offers, while several others did not.
