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


2022-23 New York Islanders



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

I.Sorokin

J.Halak

Top Prospects:

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

D: S.Forsmark, A.Koromyslov


With the moves made here, the Islanders not only have a good team now but are in better position for the future.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
