Priority #1 in the off-season for the Islanders should be to fix their problems in next like Mckenzie said. Nabokov let in 4 or more goals in every game, and is obviously not capable of being a starter in the league anymore.

So who do they go after? I don't think Luongo is a sensible option since they don't want to find themselves in another Dipietro situation. I could see them maybe going after a Ryan Miller, or perhaps Backstrom if the price is right. However, since he's already their property right now it would be wise to sign Tim Thomas to a one year deal for cheap, and see if he hasn't lost a step taking a year off. With the right goalie they could be a true threat come next year.

Tim Thomas? haha
