Islanders not done shopping yet

Team: 2022-23 New York Islanders

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 2, 2023

Published: Feb. 2, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Isles need more depth, but have little more ammunition for big trades. Gotta go bargain hunting.

Barbashev won’t be “cheap”, but I think a 2nd, a 3rd and a young depth NHLer (who does have room to grow) should do the trick.

Puljujarvi appears to be basically done in Edmonton, and if the Oilers are looking to improve around the TDL, I’m sure they’d be happy to drop an inconvenient contract for cheap.

Wouldn’t be opposed to acquiring JVR, however, I don’t see us being able to acquire both him and Barbashev with the assets we can afford to lose.
