Islanders Lock in Maccelli and Vanecek on One-Year Deals

The Islanders are keeping continuity on both sides of the puck by signing forward Matias Maccelli and goaltender Vitek Vanecek to one-year contracts on free agency's opening day. These signings suggest New York's front office believes both players are part of the solution moving forward, even if they're not committing to long-term deals just yet. The Islanders are betting that another year together will help this roster find the chemistry needed to make a playoff push.
