The New York Islanders played a lot of young players who may not be with the team once the season starts, but they played a sloppy game and lost to the Flyers 5-2. We have our key takeaways from the game including subpar performances by Noah Dobson and a lot of other players as well as our concerns about the play of Semyon Varlamov this preseason.
We also discuss the news concerning the NHL salary cap for 2024-25 and how that will help the Islanders sign new players or re-sign their own players next year.
And we continue our player by player look at the team with Varlamov who needs to be steady as the team’s backup goalie this year.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

ho hum. pre-season. dobson sucked, varly sucked, holmstrom did nothing and -2. Only pre-season. Isles are in trouble if this shit goes on during season. Lane looks clueless and can't get isles going. Dobson, varly struggle, holmstrom useless and you know you know who will put him on opening roster. Gotta show off your prized last first round pick/failure for all to see. Jets need a goalie with Hellybuck out. ltir palmieri, trade old broken down varly to jets for Scheifele. Jets are tanking and may just bite with hellybuck dealt when he gets healthy. schief/hellybuck aint staying in winnipeg.
Good show Gil !….I was reading some of the scrolling conversation going on tonight, and i am curious to what the alternative moves could have been for those longer player contracts Lou doled out….Would varly still be here if a shorter contract was the final offer…etc etc
I still don't understand why you give a 35 year old goaltender a 4 year deal. Makes no sense to me.
