Simon Holmstrom, signed 1x$0.9M by NYI, is a young defensive bottom six winger. Started off the 23-24 season hot, scoring 5 SHG and shooting 28% in his first 35 games, but predictably cooled off in the second half. Doesn’t do much with the puck but good chance suppressor. #Isles pic.twitter.com/Y14kHnZniF

Arturs Silovs re-signs with #Canucks
So far he has had some great stretches in the NHL but has also shown some inconsistency. He has some upside as a spot-starter on a strong team and could take over as temporary #1 again if there is an injury to Demko.https://t.co/IJFjKMTp04 pic.twitter.com/7lUeenDWh1
