Michael Dal Colle, the New York Islanders' fifth overall pick in 2014, has signed a two-year deal with the KHL's Dinamo Minsk:
The now 29-year-old is more than three years removed from being part of the Islanders organization, last suiting up in Blue & Orange for the Bridgeport Islanders back in 2021-22.
That season, he played one NHL game, skating in 39 AHL games, recording nine goals and 13 assists for 22 points.
In 2022-23, Dal Colle played in the Swedish Elite League, recording four goals and 15 assists for 19 points in 36 games for TPS Turku before playing the last two seasons for the Iserlohn Roosters of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), the top league in Germany.
He recorded 83 points (29 goals, 54 assists) in 97 games over those two years before deciding to now head to the KHL.
Dal Colle never lived up to the hype with the Islanders, with just eight goals and 13 assists for 21 points in 112 career games on Long Island.
