Islanders Podcast Preview: Semyon Varlamov Rumor Mill

Tonight is episode 238 of the Eyes on Isles Podcast and I'm sure we'll have a lot to get into. The trade deadline is rapidly approaching and the closer it gets, the more rumors we begin to hear on the New York Islanders.

One of those rumors is Semyon Varlamov. With one more year on his deal after this and Ilya Sorokin becoming a number one goalie right in front of our very eyes, Varlamov is expendable.

We'll discuss all the different rumors surrounding Varly and discuss whether we think he will be come deadline day. Next up, we'll get into Sebastian Aho. How much of the rest of the season does he play and what will his role be on the team going forward?

Mitch will also update us on Islanders prospects from around the globe and of course, we have the quiz too. Here is what you can expect from episode 238:

On the quiz, Mitch will pick a random player in Islanders history and I have to try to guess who that player is based on five clues. It’s usually a blast.
