he got sorokin re-signed, which is important, but . . . does lou even understand the salary cap? you don't have to re-sign your bottom-six forwards to seven-year deals, or your 35yo backup goalie to a four-year deal!
if parise decides to keep playing, lou will probably give him multiple years

The seven years to mayfield and engvall is certainly wild, although I’m assuming the strategy is that the cap is going way up in the next few years so it will look better. I guess you can’t also underestimate the friendship between Varlamov and Sorokin. There is something to the “islander for life” mentality over the past decade though. It’s a team with very low turnover once you’ve fit in.
