Description

Wanted to create a different offseason plan. Like a 2.0 version, not a better version just a different approach.

I wanted to create a no so expensive offseason, but an effective offseason

I traded than signed Fiala, he has to play with barzy because barzy needs an elite player by his side.

I want to keep brock lee at line 1 they work well, i added palmeri in there because he will do good on that line, it will boost his trade value to clear up cap, and hes getting old. But that is a old 1st line so idk because it is very good line but a very old line

2nd line i wanted to make a young line that will be here to stay and is very effective. That will be future 1st line. But i want them to work and produce and minutes like a top line

3rd line i wanted to trade bailey, to clear cap and get a player cheaper and somewhat better, ya its sad to see him leave but it has to be done, i replaced him with Jarnok a good 15 goal scorer who has experience. Only a 2 year deal.

4th line: wanted to replace clutter for johnston because i like johnston and martin together alot because its scary. But we just signed clutter and hes a key pker. So i traded martin because johnston is a lot better than him.

Traded for Carson Soucy because hes a cheap 27 year old defenseman, and he is good from what i heard. He has a postive plus minus on the kraken so i think that speaks volume. Could also do the same trade but for Shayne Gostisbehere who is a good offensive cheap 27 yearold defenseman.

Trade deadline if we are doing good i see us trading for another defenseman to replace salo for playoffs. But i hope salo will be good enough not to do that

I think lou wants varly back another year, and with the cap space i have created there is no reason to move him, let him ride out his contract, it will be very beneficial for our playoff run and the broviet union.

I really like this offseason it isn't an expensive offseason but it is a very benefical offseason and leaves 4 mil in cap for next season.

Elliotte Friedman said Soucy wasn’t available at the deadline. My bet is Seattle will resign him or flip him at the deadline for a first round pick. I wouldn’t trade Beauvillier Bellows and a 1st for Fiala. I like Beauvillier’s fit with Nelson and Lee as a puck handler and don’t view Palmieri as the right fit for that first line. Also even though Fiala is obviously better than Beauvillier, that seems like a steep asking price considering you are weakening at least one line by moving Bellows and Beauvillier.

Josh Bailey is worth more than a 3rd. If they can’t get fair value I think you are better off keeping him. I get that some fans really hate his game. I get that his metrics are down this year. But he’s been much better in the second half of the year. I think it’s more of a defense/Covid issue with this team

I honestly think the Isles forward core is fine so long as you make a significant upgrade on defense. Like do you wish they had younger and cheaper wings? Obviously. But the only way you can fix that is by drafting well.

i agree with what you are saying but bailey is getting paid too much, yes i would love to keep him but we need room to sign cheaper more effective players. but we do need a better forward to help boost our offense and to put by barzy because barzy needs someone who can fit his skill set and i think fiala is the right option for that. ya our forward group is Fine but it can be better.

Josh Bailey's metrics have been bad for 3 years now, the problem is this year he's one of the worst even strength forwards in the NHL. That 3rd line is on a PDO bender right now and Bailey's metrics aren't much better than earlier in the season. Im not a Bailey hater but there is no chance this team can contend with a 33 YO Bailey in the top 9 next season.

The isles forward core needs some addition by subtraction. Getting rid of Bailey and Martin and replacing them with younger + faster forwards is all this team needs. They don't need a significant upgrade on defense either, Dobson/Pulock/Pelech is a top 3 D trio in the NHL, the issue is Lou and Trotz decided to fill the 2 + 3LD spots with two 40 YO D.

Minny is moving Fiala for cap reasons, I don’t see them taking any cap back in a trade for his rights
