There is no reason for Semyon Varlamov to re-sign with the New York Islanders this summer. He is now the clear backup to Ilya Sorokin, but the veteran still has lots to give. For the last two seasons, there’s been talk about him being traded, but nothing came of it. Instead, the Islanders kept him

The Detroit Red Wings are heading into the 2023 NHL Offseason with the expectation of improving their roster. They will be looking to break their seven-year playoff drought, but for that to occur, changes will need to be made. One specific need they have is a top-four, right-shot defenseman.
