The New York Islanders re-signed their own free agents but what can they still do to make this team better? We examine where Lou Lamoriello has left the team and what still needs to be done to improve it this offseason.
Plus we discuss the latest on the Alex DeBrincat rumors and what his addition would mean for the Isles and we answer your emails in our mailbag.

Debrincat for Pageau, Wahlstrom & Lennox (doubt that is enough anyway)
Sign AD 8 x 8.25m aav
Bury Johnston.
Still not enough … unless this organization comes to its senses and trade Lee to his hometown Wild at 50% retention for a 2024 mid round pick. Saves 3.5m for upcoming season – too bad this organization and some in this fanbase still believe Lee is a valuable asset – he is not and is massively overpaid.
debrincat on paper looks like a good deal. But there is a reason debrincat is currently still available. He's a pp stats guy. Yes cat would help isle pp but he is small and plays no d, a lou no no. And cat gets boosted by playing with elite talent. Two 40 goal years with hawks playing with kane. And in ohl otter pp was deadly with cat, d strome on it with mcd one year when erie went to ohl finals. Even keefe's soo team couldn't shut them down in wcf. And either sens want too much or cat's asking price of $9x 8 is scaring teams off. Ask yourself why are sens moving away from cat after one season? And why didn't a team like wings with cap space and assets needing a scorer yet yzerman didn't pull the trigger on a cat deal last week? Scorers are tough to get and not many out there right now unless you want to overpay in term for vt who canes will sign. Or overpay for cat with flaws? Olofson a 28 goal scorer is being shopped by sabres. That's why you have to get those scorers at the top of the draft. Which will never happen under lou who keeps this team at borderline level playoff team no longer a threat. And with $1.083 in cap space lou is shit out of luck to improve this team. No cap space, no assets to deal, no top prospects on the way. Thanks lou.
He's been saying "A hockey trade" every summer!
Can't contracts be back loaded? Like 7mill one yr 9 mill the following?
Martin and Clutter. See ya
should have picked up Zadina. Young, talented, and cheap
You kinda want good players locked up long term. Barzal Horvat Sorokin Nelson Pelech Pulock HOPEFULLY Debrincat. Unfortunately Lee Mayfield Palms Engvall are long term
Puck moving D man???! Screwed that up with the Mayfield deal
Just for conversation sake, would trading Barzal for DeBrincat upgrade the team ?….Could that trade be done?….Seems like DeBrincat is a superior player at least on paper…..Go Islanders!!!
