This year in free agency the islanders lose all of eberle, lee, and Nelson. That is loosing 3 of their top 4 players. Eberle could be signed to a team like Montreal for 7,250,000. Lee could be signed for 6,750,000 and Nelson could get signed to either 5 or 6 million. Their is now all of this cap space and the islanders decide that they will sign bobrovsky for 10.5 by 7. Now we hit 2019-2020 and the islanders now only have Matt barzel and bobrovsky become the faces of the franchise. Barzel goes on a tear with being the face of the franchise and taking most of the shots. Since the islanders would have bobrovsky in goal they barely miss the playoffs meaning that they don’t have a top 10 pick. This new season means that they have to resign barzel and devils decide that they want a new player playing alongside hall and nico. The devils trade palmerri for prospects and a first and second meaning they have plenty of space for barzel and hall. Since the islanders have a goalie at 10.5 mil and the devils put down and an offer sheet for 12 million which the islanders can’t match. Now barzel is moving to nj and the islanders have an aging goalie making 10.5 mil a year and have lost their top 4 offenseman. Just imagine how bad the islanders would be without their best players.
Please tell me how you think about this
