Big retool If theres another first round exit

Deadline day trades, Islanders need to get younger and Dermott needs a change of scenery.

LA is just the placeholder team. Any team looking for a good middle-six lw who's versatile and can play center. Team would probably be one that has cap space and is in the wild card race.

Placeholder team. At a minimum a team pays a 2nd, probably a 1st though considering chiarots value and the fact duncan keith was actually traded for by giving up assets (holland moment).

Trade value all depends on who he wants to sign with. Toronto born boy so I could see this happening. Very similar to what happened when Toronto traded for Hyman.

Listen, I know LA fans love this guy and say that he's not going to be traded for a while, but honestly I think if the price paid is big enough they'd move him. They have walker who in my opinion would actually fit pretty well in a 2nd pairing role there. They also have 2 youngsters in Faber and Clarke who for all we know, can absolutely light it up next year. They have a lot of RD depth for next year and this is a move I think is beneficial to them. Also, both these teams have a reputation for making trades with each other.

Holl gets a really bad rep because of the bright lights of Toronto, but he's actually been quite good now and I think would add to LA's already deep RD lineup. He could fit in both a 2nd or 3rd pairing role with them and could potentially fill up the hole Roy leaves. 2024 is a conditional pick. Turns into 2023 Leafs 2nd round pick if Leafs make the conference finals and Roy plays in 50% or more games.

I personally think this is a great move for both teams and got some advice from people on this website. This is the value I personally think Nylander gets due to his contract and age.
