Complete long shot but islanders should likely be going into a rebuild or at least a retool, Nashville is win now and likely 2 years from now before Josi is gone, and New Jersey is win now in likely the next year or two (letting their Dmen develop a bit) .

Looking at it this way, islanders receive their goaltender of the future and part ways with some older vets, Nashville gets a year younger starting goalie who is signed to a long term deal and is comparable to Saros (as he might ask for a bit more come next year) and New Jersey gets their goalie which they will have cap space to resign. Might be a bit of adding or subtracting but:

Islanders get
Askarov
2024 3rd jersey (for palmeri)
2024 2nd Nashville

Nashville gets
Sorokin
2024 1st (islanders)
Nelson (50% retained)
2024 1st (Jersey)

New Jersey gets
Saros
Palmeri.

I mean this matches the timelines of each team really. Probably some tweaking here or there but I'd say it's a pretty fair trade all around. Maybe some more coming to the Isles?

lol the Islanders get absolutely bent over a AHL goalie and 2 picks for a young goalie who was ranked as a top 5 goalie to start the season AND THEY ADD?

Askarov could be great but chances are he isn’t half the goalie as Sorokin at his peak.

Nashville wins that by a mile.
