Islanders hang up.

1) Varlamov costs more
2) Lou doesn't sound keen on trading him because his preference of carrying 2 solid goalies and his relationship mentoring Sorokin

Wallinder at minimal is still 2 years away, One year in Sweden and one year in Grand Rapids. Those UFA signings are bad none of those are any upgrades for us. Isles decline Varlamov is worth far more than that.

No reason to sign Barabonov or Radulov, Veleno and Berggren will fill those spots. Wallinder is not ready for the NHL yet, most likely Edvinsson will be. Lindström would play over Oesterle on the right side. No reason to give up assets for a goalie, plenty of other options out there. Also probably better options than Chariot and Clifton for LD.

Each time I see the name William Wallinder I think of the movie Braveheart and William Wallace. Freeeeeedddoooooommmmm!!!

But I can't see Yzerman using offer sheets. I'd rather sign a UFA goalie like Husso or Holtby than acquire one via trade. But Stevie did trade for Nedeljkovic. I'd be interested in Blackwood if he's available. Berggren will likely be on the team.

Chiarot is too slow for my liking but we could use some size on D. No on Radulov. Veleno needs to playing each game and not eating popcorn with Stevie. Oesterle is not playing over Lindstrom. Edvinsson will make the team before Wallinder does.

No on Barabanov. If Stevie's going to sign a UFA it'll likely be a 2C. Though I wouldn't be opposed to signing UFA Mason Marchment. Nothing wrong with a big scoring winger. But his Florida stats are likely inflated from playing on a stacked Panthers team.

Also the sharks match cause they have abismal depth and that contract really doesn't hurt the sharks. That Blichfeld offersheet actually makes no sense.

Steve should go big and take a swing at signing Johnny Gaudreau.

I think as far as Top 4 LD upgrades, Yzerman will deal for one of Alec Martinez, Marcus Pettersson or Nate Schmidt you don't need to sign Chiarot or Clifton. Feeling pretty strong that Simon Edvinsson is already ready to jump into the NHL next fall he's pretty much looking NHL ready now. Yzerman will heavily go after a 2C rather it's Copp if he doesn't sign in New York or Trocheck.

Johnny Hockey likely signs with the Devils or Flyers. He's a winger. If we're spending big money in UFA I'd rather sign a 2C.

You had me fooled with the title.. then you pick up 40 yo free agents... Yzerman is building a team under 30. Radulov is useless to this team even at $2. This looks like a Holland team, just trying to get by. I think the team this year would beat this team you have here easily.

Islanders are a no for sure. Varlamov carries way more weight and other teams who need goaltending and are contenders would easily beat that offer.
If you do offer sheets, atleast go for a guy of value. those are easy matches and not worth upsetting other GMs over. Yzerman should target guys like Yamamoto or puljujarvi... Give up a 2nd round pick for one of those guys. 3 years $3.5-4M... Holland is screwed next year with the CAP and the need for a goalie. Heck he is dumb enough, you might get him to give you signing rights to one of these guys for a 3rd or 4th round pick.

I think you've failed to grasp what the Yzerplan is because this ain't it!
