Description

Bettman isn’t letting players sign contracts for this season, of course when Sorokin was due to sign. Now because Sorokin wouldn’t be able to play in the NHL until at least December, he is talking to his former KHL team-CSKA Moscow-about signing a one year contract so he can continue to play. The Islanders don’t appear to have a back up plan, so here is one option:
-Greiss will most likely be asking for something around $4mil for 1-2 years. The Islanders can’t afford that with a flat cap.
-The Islanders sign Aaron Dell to a prove-it deal. Dell’s numbers have been mediocre over the past two seasons, due to the Sharks poor defense and goalie coaching. Islanders goalie coaches Mitch Korn and Piero Grieco have been known for turning mediocre goalies into great goalies, such as Robin Lehner. Dell would a good bounce back candidate if the Islanders can get him.

This is, of course, only if Dell isn’t resigned by the Sharks.
