The Islanders are boldly reshaping their defense this offseason, even with tight cap space, aiming for playoff contention while building for the future. After last season’s surprise success disrupted long-term plans, they’re now considering a major shift: moving star defenseman Matthew Schaefer to the right side to pair with Adam Pelech. If Schaefer adapts, the duo could become a dynamic force. That move might open the door for Ryan Pulock and Alexander Romanov to form a top second pair, while Tony DeAngelo and young Isaiah George could anchor the third. This aggressive retooling could turn their blue line into a serious strength — and it’s a move to watch closely as the summer unfolds.
