Islanders Trade

I’d do it but I don’t think the Isles would do it. Maybe if that pick was at least a 2nd rounder

If Nelson for sure signs the extension, I'd do it if I were Dallas. Isles would at least consider it pretty hard, might depend on how close they stay in the playoff hunt though or if Lamoriello wants to stick to a rebuild plan not matter what. Value's pretty good though

That is not getting you Nelson. Isles will be resigning him, Trotz loves his game. It would cost either Dellandrea or Robertson.

I can't see Dallas parting with either of them for Nelson unless he was guaranteed to re-sign. Even then I'm not sure Dallas would do that. I do think the pick should be higher than a 4th though

You've overvalued Nelson a great deal. This deal could easily up the 4th to a 2nd or a late 1st and it'd be pretty close to value. But you asking for top prospects is ridiculous. Nelson isn't a top player that gets top value. He's a 2nd liner at best, probably a 3rd liner on a very good team. Those types of players don't get top prospects in return, especially when he's a UFA in a few months.
