Initial Creation Date: Feb. 13, 2024

Published: Feb. 21, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

VGK - NYI Trade

Vegas acquires Brock Nelson, a Chandler Stephenson replacement/upgrade. This trade could very likely come with an extension, probably a 4-year, $6-6.5M/year deal.

Isles acquire Brendan Brisson, a strong forward prospect who can play all three positions, and a 1st round pick. Brisson can start on the 3rd line with Pageau, then likely work his way up.

OTT-NYI Trade

Change of scenery trade. Ottawa acquires Ryan Pulock, a top-4 RHD, and Oliver Wahlstrom, a project RW with a lot of potential in the right circumstance.

Isles acquire a Drake Batherson, a top-6 RW, Mathieu Joseph, a middle-6 LW, and high draft picks.

COL-NYI Trade

With the departure of Nelson, Isles acquire a replacement with only one year left on his deal, and recoup the 2026 2nd round pick lost in the Josh Bailey deal. Colorado clears $4M in cap for an underperforming player.

Other moves:

- Isles sign Jake DeBrusk to a 3-year, $5M/year deal, giving him top minutes with Horvat and Barzal.
- Isles also sign Tyson Barrie to replace Pulock and play on the power play
- Isles buy out Anders Lee to save $4M+ in cap.

This off-season also gives them $4M in cap space, allowing them to decide their future by the 2025 trade deadline.
