What New York Islanders Need to do in the Offseason

 The New York Islanders are an aging team that desperately needs to overhaul their roster by moving out some of their overpaid veterans, and replacing them with younger players with more potential. The biggest weakness the Islanders have is on defense, and they really need to improve that if they are to contend next season. This is what the New York Islanders should do in the offseason.




Before the 2022 Draft, a few trades are made

New York Islanders trade Josh Bailey to the Nashville Predators for Eeli Tolvanen, Jeremy Lauzon, 3rd round pick '22.

If Filip Forsberg doesn't return to Nashville, the Predators should try to add a veteran winger like Josh Bailey to boost their offense.

The Islanders also trade Semyon Varlamov to the Buffalo Sabres for 4th round pick '22, 6th round pick '23. If the Sabres make the playoffs, the Islanders get a 2023 2nd-round pick.

The Islanders unload Varlamov's contract, while the Sabres get their number 1 goalie.

The Isles also trade Kieffer Bellows, Cal Clutterbuck, and 2nd round pick '22 are traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Rasmus Sandin.

The Maple Leafs add some depth players and a draft pick, while the Islanders get Rasmus Sandin, a young defenseman, who hasn't been used properly.


2022 Draft

13-Brad Lambert

78-Alexander Suzdalev

84-Jack Devine

106-Simon Forsmark

142-Arseni Koromyslov

174-Luke Devlin

The Islanders add 2 centers, 2 wingers, and 2 defensemen in the draft, which helps to improve their prospect pool.


New York Islanders re-sign the following Players:

Noah Dobson-5yrs/5.5M per

Rasmus Sandin-2yrs/1.7M per


New York Islanders sign the following free agents:

Rickard Rakell-4yrs/4.5M per

Jaroslav Halak-1yr/1M 

All Non-Roster RFAs are Re-signed


This is how the lineup looks like next season

A.Lee-M.Barzal-R.Rakell

A.Beauvillier-B.Nelson-K.Palmieri

E.Tolvanen-JG.Pageau-O.Wahlstrom

Z.Parise-C.Cizikas-M.Martin

A.Pelech-R.Pulock

J.Lauzon-N.Dobson

R.Sandin-S.Mayfield

Top Prospects:

F: B.Lambert, A.Raty, S.Holmstrom, A.Suzdalev, W.Dufour, J.Devine, L.Devlin

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members.

Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond ...
