Off-season At the 2011 NHL entry draft, the Islanders selected playmaking center Ryan Strome from the Niagara IceDogs. On July 1, 2011, the Islanders signed Marty Reasoner. On August 1, 2011, a public referendum was held in Nassau County to authorize $400 million for a new coliseum as a home to the Islanders, a minor-league ballpark and other economic development projects. The plan was rejected by the voters, thus causing speculation that after the 2014–15 season, the Islanders may be moving.https://bleacherreport.com/articles/788079-nassau-coliseum-referendum-vote-new-york-islandersmovin-out Nassau Coliseum Referendum Vote: Are the New York Islanders Movin' Out?
