SYOSSET, N.Y.—At a glance, the math on the Islanders’ off-season seems pretty simple.

It had been 23 years since the Islanders had advanced beyond the first round of the NHL playoffs, so their loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in a five-game, second-round series has to be considered progress. As such, a franchise so accustomed to rebuilding should be looking forward to a little roster maintenance this summer and some continuity next season.

But after their exit interviews at the team facility on Tuesday morning, the Islanders players didn’t have much in the way of certainty. They know that the team’s minority owners, Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin, will take control of the franchise from current majority owner Charles Wang this summer. But whether that transition will affect general manager Garth Snow’s decision to revamp or restructure the Islanders’ roster remains a mystery.

Snow didn’t speak to the media on Tuesday.

The Islanders did well to amass 100 points during the regular season, making the playoffs in their first campaign in Brooklyn, and even better to upset the Atlantic Division champion Florida Panthers in the first round. But while all five postseason games held at Barclays Center were sellouts, the team sold only 86.2% of available tickets during the regular season, the fourth-fewest in the NHL. The prospect of a diminished roster could prove costly for Malkin and Ledecky, a former Washington Capitals co-owner who currently controls the Islanders’ minor-league affiliate in Bridgeport, Conn.
