Huge issue.
It’s almost guaranteed that Vejmelka wan’ts to be a starting goalie. If the was dealt to the Islanders, he would be wasted as Sorokins backup who we all know is one of the best in the league. There are plenty of UFA’s that the Islanders could go after who’s cap hit would be lower than Vejmelka. Halal is just one example.
It’s also really stupid if the Yotes traded Vejmelka. There not a great team and are not anywhere close to being a contender but if they trade Vejmelka it could just put them even farther behind in the rebuild. Ingram and Ned as a tandem would be quite iffy. Probably would be best to just hang on to Vejmelka.
