Michael Dal Colle News

The Islanders have re-signed Michael Dal Colle to a two-year contract.

Dal Colle has struggled to produce at the NHL-level since being picked No.5 overall in 2014. However, the 23-year-old winger was a point-per-game player in the AHL a season ago, scoring 18 goals with 16 assists (34 points) in 34 games. Dal Colle has just seven points (3G / 4A) in 32 career NHL games to this point, but has a chance to be a full-time NHLer if he impresses in training camp this fall.

The Islanders signed Michael Dal Colle to a three-year entry level contract on Monday.

Dal Colle, 18, was this summer's fifth overall pick. The 6-foot-2, 171 lbs. forward had 39 goals and 56 assists (95 points) in 67 games with the Oshawa Generals last season. He has a shot to make the Islanders out of camp, where he could find himself playing with Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin.
