Anyone above the age of 25 does not appear on the prospect site.

#NYI #isles New York signing two defenders with NHL/AHL term likely leaves Parker Wotherspoon RFA without a job, but it's very notable Corey Schneider does not have a contract in a very thin UFA goalie market. New York has Skarek/Appleby signed but were here last year also.

Lamoriello Press Conference Summary:

---

Will just hit the highlights, if full conference posted will put it here, team put part of it on twitter

---

---

Camp opens 9/21/22

---

---

Dobson got four million per, Lamoriello wanted to wait before going longer

---

---

Not discussing Barzal negotiations

---

---

Trade/UFA market too expensive, would weaken teams strengths

---

---

Says Chara/Greene not options at this time, no contact, will likely take 6th defender from current group

---

---

Feels teams goal differential will be improved under Lambert. Lou's a goal-differential guy.

---

---

Want to prove people wrong, he's the boss

---

---

Believes in the team, how it was built, won't apologize for it

---

---

Raty ticketed for AHL, but up to him if he can break through

---

---

Best transactions are ones you sometimes do not make

---

Not disappointed or would have made drastic changes

---

---

Brian Wiseman, thought it would work out, different sets of circumstances, delighted he's in SJ, quality hockey person

---

#NYI #isles I can't complain about the defense as long as Chara/Greene are gone for good, and he made a ton of excellent signings, and Snow's deal for Mayfield has been amazing.

#NYI #isles It's not a second guess but a fact. Palmieri, Pageau, Cizikas, Martin, now Clutterbuck, Parise signings (re-signings) were terrible before deals were made & that's why Lamoriello cannot improve his slow/aging forward group.

#NYI #isles Palmieri is a mediocre support player w/losing Devils teams loaded w/talent, who had padded numbers, he was not big game player. Pageau got paid for one 24 goal run, not his 35 point yearly avg. Cizikas is a car with 500,000 miles, who's hurt/does not produce 1/2

#NYI #isles Renting Palmieri, Pageau at trade dealine where you have a mediocre pick, no problem. Paying them means you can't get a better player in UFA or a trade, that's how you take big steps backwards. 2/2

Summer Is Over-Lamoriello to speak 1pm: Dobson/Romanov 3 years, Bellows 1 year.

#NYI #isles Summer just ended. Bellows, Romanov, Dobson re-signed/signed.

— New York Islander Fan Central (@NYIFANCENTRAL) August 22, 2022

#NYI #isles So this leaves Durandeau, Wotherspoon as pending RFA. Schneider, Chara, Greene, and Dal Colle as UFA.

#NYI #isles Between Pelech, Pulock, Dobson, Romanov, Hutton, Aho, Salo, Wilde that's a lot of defenders not even counting Mayfield or their remaining AHL veterans/prospects.
