The Islanders will make moves this offseason.
Promise.
But Day 2 of the NHL free agent market on Thursday passed as quietly as Day 1 for the Islanders, with no signings, re-signings or trades announced and no public word from president and general manager Lou Lamoriello.
Not that the wily and secretive boss is idle. It’s likely Lamoriello is still investigating the cost of acquiring Vladimir Tarasenko if the Blues opt to grant the disgruntled sharpshooter’s wish to be traded.
The Blues may be more inclined to do so after signing the Avalanche’s Brandon Saad to a five-year, $22.
