Doing the isles as a rangers fan

I can’t imagine a scenario where trading Wally, Raty, the 13th pick and the 65th pick for DeBrincat doesn’t bite us in the ass. Either Raty, Wally or the guy at 13 will make the deal a huge win for Chicago. Isles would be better off trying to sign Gaudreau.

No it wouldn't. CHI declines.

Dobson probably isn't going to get that much on a deal that walks him to UFA I think (unless there's an OS of course). I think they'll bridge him on a 2-3 year deal with a high salary in the final year so he's got a high QO when he's up again but a lower cap hit until then. That frees up space for us to keep Palms, who was arguably our 2nd best forward in the second half last season. Really hoping he can put a productive 82 games together next year.

Puljujarvi and Kulak are great additions, both high on my own wishlist

Disagree. Abt 4 million+ dollars separates the 2 and debrincat is what barzal desperately needs. Doubt wahlstrom, raty, or whoever goes at whatever pick they have puts up the production of debrincat within the next 3 years. If the isles don't win something soon, barzal is not gonna stay.

I am a rangers fan therefore I'm not tryna look for a great deal for the islanders. This is as neutral as possible. Chicago never getting more than this
