Description

So apparently the Islanders were interested in Yandle at one point? Disappointed but not surprised.

Goes without saying that I have zero interest in him and it sounds like the door has closed on a deal getting done. But I was interested in seeing how/if Yandle fits in our lineup.

Hint: He doesn't.

Trades

NYI

Yandle, Keith

Additional Details:

The Islanders power play is bad, yes, but Yandle is not the answer lol. His point totals are incredibly deceiving; almost every metric beyond goals and assists say he's a liability at even strength and even on the Panthers, he got to play with players (Barkov, Huberdeau, Hoffman) the Islanders simply don't have. Just don't see a good fit here, unless Leddy gets moved for some reason

FLA

Hutton, Grant
Ladd, Andrew
2022 4th round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

Like with the Parise rumors, I imagine Ladd would have to go back to Florida. Surprisingly, Florida would save about $4 million in this specific trade over the next three years, so lucky them.

Leddy would have to be involved for it to work

I mean if we trade him for Ladd+ not much else I'm into it. But agreed, we don't need Yandle.

I love how Lou + trotz always talk about young players not being in the lineup because “they don’t play the right way” and then they try to trade for a defenseman who has no clue what to do in his own end. Hey if you’re over 30 come to the isles, we’ll work with you!

Another reason why there's no chance a Yandle to NYI deal works
