The Tampa Bay Lightning are headed to the Stanley Cup Final. They defeated the New York Islanders in what ended up being a magnificent seven-game series. They won game seven thanks to heroic performances by their goaltender and then some clutch scoring. They will face the Montreal Canadiens in the final series of the regular season. As for the Islanders, they have another offseason of trying to figure out how to win that big game. It makes you wonder if the Chicago Blackhawks will try and take advantage of them this summer.

The Chicago Blackhawks might try to snag some Islanders before they move.

No team returns exactly the way that it left the following year. The Islanders are taking that to a whole new level as they aren’t even returning to the same arena. The Nassau Coliseum has been their home for decades and now they are going to be moving into a brand new building. “The Coli”, as it’s known around the Long Island area, died with the series.

The Islanders are going to be very active this offseason. They are a very good team that has a lot of potential over the next few years. They might let a few of their pending free agents walk so that they can spend a little money this offseason but you never know what happens.

The Chicago Blackhawks, unfortunately, believe that they are contenders for whatever reason. They might look towards the Islanders for free agent help this offseason as they have a couple of good ones. These are the three free agents that the Blackhawks would most likely pursue this year:
