I believe that the best way to go is giving up Grubauer, maybe Carlson because he has dropped off the past few years. Maybe try and package a Burakovski, Eller, or Oshie, and Eller or something like that to find a replacement for Carlson. And get some type of draft pick out of it. You could probably get a package with one of the forwards and Grubauer. The most amount of value back is trading Grubauer to a team that needs a Goalie. Arizona, Buffalo, Carolina, or Islanders. Because Greiss isn't getting any younger and Johnny T will only last for so long. Islanders would pay good value for a guy like Grubauer. Especially with his .923 PCT and a 2.35 GAA. Greiss has a 3 GAA and .892 PCT and Halak on his contract year has 3 GAA and a .908 PCT. Halak is making 4.5 mil this year. Greiss has 2 more years and is making 3.5 mil. It would be a better player for Islanders to have a Grubauer.
You can't replace Carlson. Subban isn't going anywhere, and definitely not for Eller.
Nice edit on the Isles. Their fans on here have pretty well banded together to decree Grubauer's value at a 2nd round pick, but a future one, neither of the good ones they have this year.
Carolina also needs a goalie, but has so few fans on here and no irl gm, so it's impossible to get a read on what they'd offer. He's worth a mid 1st, but Car moved up too high in the lottery. Maybe two seconds, or a second and a 2rhd? I think Bowey will develop some offense, so Pesce's complete lack of offense is a better fit than Faulk's total lack of defense, but each is worth Grubauer straight up. If Samsonov spends a whole year in Hershey, which of the three would you rather have?
Buf and Ari aren't the right fit.
OB, totally agree with you that Reirden isn't playing Djoos with Bowey. In fact, he's probably keeping Nisk and Orlov on the ice for the first half of each game to get a lead, then subbing in Orpik and Green, to hold it and build on it. Just two thirty minute shifts. NBA style. The strange thing is that, because he's Reirden, it will work.
