Description

Similar to what was written in the trade description. I'm just trying to outline that something can be done here. The Hawks should (imo) be willing to take on his contract because we need more veteran leadership and he really isn't a pure cap dump. He has a role on a team...it's just that his cap hit was way too high. I think there can be a deal made here where the Islanders to get more picks and more cap space, BUT that does come at a cost. I'm certainly open for additional discussion, but I like to use link below to better understand the pick values and then truly get to what Anders would cost.

Pick #13 has a value of 310

Pick #54 has a value of 52
Pick #64 has a value of 36
NYI 2nd 2025??? let's say middle 2nd? Pick #48 has a value of 66.

That Math works out such that Anders is worth 156 points which is in between #28 and #29 in value. A late 1st in my opinion is a back of magic beans. AGAIN, open to more discussion but wanted to put this out there for thoughts.

Assumes the NYI stay at #13

I'm definitely open to discussing something different than this exact proposal. I'm just outlining to both fan bases that there could be something here. Anders isn't a pure cap dump. Hawks could use the 2 year contract and veteran leadership. BUT it's still $7M cap hit which is a tough pill to take. Sure that 1 pick is a high pick, but getting cap space and (3) 2nds back...probably not the worst proposal you've ever seen.

NYI

2024 2nd round pick (LAK)
2024 2nd round pick (VAN)
2026 2nd round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

Assumes these two picks stay at roughly #54 and #64 and then 2026 NYI 2nd back to the Isles.

Can't see the Isles trading him along with a front half first.

Also, I would think that he doesn't waive for the Hawks

No chance the Isles give up a 1st round pick to trade Lee. Absurd.

This is such an interesting trade. On one hand, its stupid. On the other, it's so stupid it just might work.

I like this more for the Islanders then the Blackhawks. You free up space 7 million in cap space and get 3 draft picks all in the second round which still have high value. Losing the 13th overall sucks however I think I would rather have 3 level B prospects then a single level A prospect.
