I see the islanders as a team that should be rebuilding. Not much they can do to add and I don't see a team with a top 6 that includes Anders Lee, Brock Nelson, Pierre Engvall, and Kyle Palmieri doing real damage come playoff team.
You can take vanacek out if you really want. He's a stopgap who can handle a 50+ game workload. If he doesn't perform, you move on, no harm done. If he plays like he did last year, you can either resign him or ship him out as 28 year old starter.
Or you can waive him. I would expect to see one of Chicago, Columbus, or Toronto put in a claim.
Stillman should be a quality bottom 6er for dirt cheap. Nothing more, nothing less, but a piece a rebuilding team should look for.
Daws. Again not a big piece. Young goalie with some upside, literally no downside
You can take out Vanacek, Stillman, 3rd, Daws, retention if you like.
Into Mercer+1st for Sorokin
Mercer costs 900k this year, and has 4 more years as an RFA after. You can go sign him to a 5x8/5.5x8
Shown to be a durable, quality NHLer at age 20,21,22.
Would have finished 2nd on your team in 5v5 points last year. Kills penalties.
Mercer from age 22-30, for 3 million dollars less+ a 1st
Sorokin from ages 28-36, for 3 mill more.
How much does a middle 6 C cost in UFA? Cause I'd say that's mercer's floor
I saw Andrew Copp and Vincent Trochek go for 5.6, 35 year old backlund got extended for 4.5, Compher 5.1, Wennberg 4.5, JGP 5, Coyle 5.25. And I'd say a lot of those guys are more of 3Cs.

Yeah, you’re delusional if you think Mercer and a late 1st is anything even close to fair value for Sorokin
