We all know the New York Islanders need both a goal scorer and a puck moving defenseman. But because of their salary cap limitations, they will not likely be able to address both of these positions this offseason. So if you could only fix one position, which would you prioritize and why? We examine that question from several different angles today.
Plus we look at Mathew Barzal’s season. Did Barzy meet expectations and what role does he project to for the 2023-24 season with the team.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

A sniper that can carry the puck end to end on the PP. It'll take pressure off Barz and Dobs. Could kill 2 birds with 1 stone
That Sniper (hate to say it) might have to be Vlad
That kid that was traded to Ottawa from The Yotes was the guy. As usual, Lou Lump a jelly is a year late and a few marbles short
i hate to sound like a broken record but a top six upgrade-two top sixers-is the main priority. a puck mover can be found later. remember when bow tie added more puck moving to the dynasty when he traded glenn chico for mcewen to take pressure off of potvin and t jonsson. sign valry for one more year then dangle him for a puck moving d man at tdl. first get two top sixers whether it be debrincat and vt or some combo by subtracting bailey or moving lee to make room for top six upgrades. and according to locked on devils meier isn't too keen on signing long term. a pure sniper without another capable scorer would do wonders as well. too bad lou was asleep when yotes moved chychrun cheap at tdl. Like i mentioned last week with yotes a shitstorm maybe see if az. wants to dump their highest paid player 37 goal scorer keller hitting his prime signed for four more years.
