Islanders Re‑Sign Forward Liam Foudy
The New York Islanders announced Tuesday that they have inked forward Liam Foudy to a one‑year, two‑way contract, a move that secures the 26‑year‑old for the upcoming season while preserving flexibility under the salary cap.
Foudy’s season with the Bridgeport Islanders in the American Hockey League was nothing short of a breakout, as he posted a career‑high 47 points in 60 games, including six game‑winning goals and three shorthanded tallies that helped the club surge in the standings.
Though his roots are in Canada, Foudy has already carved out a respectable NHL résumé, having appeared in 105 games for the Columbus Blue Jackets, Nashville Predators and the Islanders themselves, and he brings a wealth of experience that includes two gold medals with Canada from the 2020 and 2021 tournaments.
The front office views the agreement as a low‑risk, high‑reward addition; the two‑way structure means the team can promote the forward when depth is required, while the modest NHL salary leaves ample cap room for other initiatives.
