Islanders and Max Tsyplakov avoid arbitration with new two-year pact
The Islanders and Max Tsyplakov did not get as far as arbitration. The two sides avoided the July 29 hearing date as Tsyplakov inked a two-year deal worth $2.25 million annually, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Friday. The Islanders and Max Tsyplakov avoided arbitration with a two-year pact. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Tsyplakov (7) tallied 10 goals and 25 assists in his first NHL season. Robert Sabo for NY Post Tsyplakov, 26, was the Islanders' last remaining restricted free agent, so his signing should conclude the club's offseason business, barring something unforeseen. The Russian winger had 10 goals and 25 assists in his first NHL season with a role that generally fell in the middle six. He expressed frustration about the lack of scoring, but had solid advanced numbers and played a heavy game that the Islanders liked. With a different-looking forward group this season, including Jonathan Drouin, Emil Heineman and fellow Russian Max Shabanov, Tsyplakov's role will likely be dependent on training camp.
