Islanders re-sign Kyle Palmieri, Adam Boqvist in first moves by new GM
NY Post
Mathieu Darche picked up right where Lou Lamoriello left off.
The new Islanders general manager announced his first two moves Friday, completing a pair of contract negotiations that Lamoriello had brought to the finish line before his ouster a month ago by signing Kyle Palmieri to a two-year extension and inking a one-year extension with Adam Boqvist.
Palmieri’s deal has a $4.75 million average annual value and Boqvist’s comes in at $850,000, per industry sources.
According to PuckPedia, Palmieri also has a full no-trade clause next season that gets whittled down to a 16-team no-trade clause in 2026-27.
The speed at which the deals were announced isn’t much of a surprise.
At his introductory press conference Thursday, Darche said he’d already spoken with “most of the agents” representing the club’s pending free agents — and it only made sense that those two would be at the top of the list given negotiations were already well underway when Lamoriello was let go.
