Description

What needs to be added on either side to make this happen?
Should this even happen?

On the business side of things, the fact that Koskinen is done at the end of the season has to account for something (NYI saves 5M next year, and Sorokin is their starter anyways).

Let me know!

Oilers definitely add a decent amount, Varlamov was activated off IR 2 days ago so we don't know who is the Isles starter and they'll probably go with a 1a, 1b system

EDM needs to add, and they need to add a lot... I don't think they can take on any of NYI's bad contracts though, or have any relevant swaps that could break their lineup. Maybe adding Kekkoek for cheap LD help and several picks could move the needle?

Regardless, who knows if Sorrow-kin is ready for a full season by himself yet. I don't know that NYI does this trade, at least not with EDM. If anything this happens at the deadline, so NYI gets ~60 games with a solid tandem. EDM should still be in the playoff race then.

Another layer is Varly's NTC...
