It was a busy week in the NHL both on and off the ice. The Islanders look set to return to the postseason, and the good news continues as 2024 20th overall pick Cole Eiserman has signed with New York and will head to the American Hockey League's Bridgeport Islanders.

Auston Matthews' season is done. Will the Leafs' captain remain in Toronto for the long haul? Can the Leafs execute a quick turnaround to get back into playoff contention next season?

Finally, the NHL's Department of Player Safety has been in the news for much of this last week. Irf and David share their thoughts on George Parros' comments.

They look around the NHL, reacting to the week's news and digging into the contracts, trades, and moves that are still on the horizon.
