MATHEW BARZAL - Center - 21 - $.863MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2020-21
LAST UPDATED 12/17/18
Barzal enjoyed a historic rookie season where he produced at a phenomenal point-per-game+ pace over the course of a full 82 game season. Barzal is an elite playmaker, and he uses his excellent skating speed and incredible edgework to create space and offensive opportunities. His value on the powerplay cannot be overstated. He's a crafty defensive player who can force turnovers, but he's not a penalty-killing presence. Given the departure of former captain John Tavares, Barzal has assumed the 1C spot on the Islanders and performed to expectations. Going forward, Barzal is part of the elite group of under-23 franchise centermen in the NHL.
