Mathew Barzal and Lou Lamoriello have both said this week that they want to reach a deal on a contract extension for the Islanders’ star center.
“Hopefully, there’s still two weeks before the season and we can hammer something out,” Barzal said Thursday, following the first practice of training camp, when asked why an extension had yet to materialize. “I’m not really worried about it, just cause my heart’s here and I know we’ll get something fair. Something both sides will be happy about.”
The Islanders’ Mathew Barzal takes part in practice during training camp at Northwell Health Ice Center.“I think the greater thing about here is having Lou, there’s always respect,” Barzal said. “There’s never bashing. There’s never you’re worth this or that. It’s always fair, it’s always honest. When you have that mutual respect, I think you always want to go run through a wall for a guy like that.
“I’m open to anything,” Barzal said. “I’m not really a superstitious guy when it comes to that kind of stuff. When it comes, it comes. I’m not too worried about it. I don’t go home and pace around all day thinking about it.” Last season, however, a disappointing output for Barzal, who struggled to mesh with his linemates all season, leading the Islanders to unsuccessfully deploy a series of combinations. During the first day of camp, Barzal skated with Zach Parise and Simon Holmstrom, though new head coach Lane Lambert stressed that those lines were merely a starting point.
