Description
Couple things to know:

1) Sekera would have to waive his NMC, but he might. He knows he'll be playing behind Nurse, Risto, Klefbom, and Larsson. So he won't get much ice time here. Also he'd be headed to NY instead of the 2nd coldest city with an NHL team, so...

2) I don't believe Yamamoto should be in the NHL next year, But knowing the Oilers, I bet they throw him right in the starting lineup in a top 6 roll

3) Cap space is extremely tight. But we don't have a first rounder in 2019, so we won't be picking up any big rentals anyways.

4) Next year Russel's NMC clause turns into a 10 team trade list. We could move him with retained salary to resign RFAs like Puljujarvi and Aberg. And guys on entry levels like Jones and Bear should be ready by then

  1. Sekera, Andrej
  2. 2019 4th round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
If the Islanders lose Hickey/De Haan to free agency they will have to add a top 4 defenceman. Sekera is still a top 4 defenceman, not a cap dump! He had a disappointing year after recovering from an injury, so his value is low, but he's absolutely still a decent top 4 defenceman. Brandon Davidson is a good 6th or 7th D who didn't really work out with the Islanders.

Excellent scenarios across all boards!!
Losing RNH 4 Risto would be acceptable.
Well done..-~

Your not getting Risto I’m that deal. RNH isn’t worth a top end defenceman, especially one that over the course of the past 3 seasons has out produced RNH lol

The state of this board... Risto is probably the 4th best defenseman on that roster
