Isles 2021-22 - Last AGM Before Expansion

Team: 2021-22 New York Islanders

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 17, 2021

Published: Jul. 19, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

SEA-NYI Trade

Seattle agrees to claim Leo Komarov in exchange for Otto Koivula and a 2022 3rd round pick (NYI). Komarov is a good piece for an expansion team. He's an excellent PKer, a locker room leader, and only has one year left on his contract. Koivula and him have built a rapport over the last couple training camps, and a young C prospect is always good for a team to have. Koivula could theoretically win the 4C spot depending on who else is drafted.

EDM-NYI Trade

I've posted this trade a few times. I don't love losing Varlamov, but this type of deal is necessary to add more offensive pieces. Isles also get a nice backup, as well as a tweener C prospect and a draft pick.

NSH-NYI Trade

Nashville will likely lose either Jarnkrok or Sissons. Getting Eberle would be a nice piece for a center like Johansen or Duchene. They would also get Kieffer Bellows here, who was Cody Glass' linemate with the Portland Winterhawks.

I left Palmieri out here. Unless he takes $3M or less, I can't see him fitting in cap-wise. Panik is a fine player, he could be revitalized with Pageau and, in this scenario, Beauviller.
