Isles accept. Love that deal

I know Fenton is Poile's boy but he hangs up the phone so fast the breeze is felt in Minnesota.

Would love Tolvanen in a wild sweater he has such insane shot which we need and when Kaprizov arrives those two guys on the same team would be insane obviously here going for Prospects instead of picks but Fiala would create a log jam at LW because we Parise Greenway Aberg And Foligno which can play 3/4 line minutes and really like the Vancouver Trade we get a couple of prospects which we need in the New Jersey Trade And Vancouver Trade And The Islanders Trade

Virtanen & Gaudette For Zucker is not gonna happen... Virtanen plus a late pick (5th) or a someone like Pouliot or Gagner but definitely not both young players ... Zucker only has 7 more points than Virtanen this year

Why do you say that? Granlund is on pace for three consecutive 60+ point seasons. He's not quite a Panarin or Stone, but he's signed an additional year so he's more than just a rental for Nashville. Fiala is a good young player and Tolvanen is a good young prospect, but I don't think Tolvanen will live up to the hype of becoming an elite top-line goal scorer (I see him as more of a potential top 6 player who will score more than he gets apples). Tolvanen is also probably another year or two out from being NHL ready and probably another additional year in the NHL in a lesser role before he starts to blossom, the Preds best shot at a cup is the next couple years IMO and they don't have time to wait for Tolvanen. It's defintiely a high price to pay for a player, but as I said Granlund is more than a rental for them and he's an upper-echelon player.



Zucker is shooting at 9.2% this year, which is well below his career average of 12.2%. He's severely snakebitten and while I don't quite think he'll be the 33 goal scorer he was last year, he will definitely be above 20 goals each year. Can you say the same for Virtanen? That remains TBD. Virtanen was thrown to the dogs way too early and I don't ever see his hype becoming realized. To me his a perennial 15-20g/30-40p guy and 40p's is stretching it. Gaudette is a wild-card, he's produced in the AHL but he's largely unproven at the NHL level. Canucks are getting a sure-thing here with Zucker who has a long-term deal in place.

I agree. I don't think Tolvanen's overall upside is elite, but he'll be a good top 6 player if there's a team patient enough with him (which I think Fenton would be). He'd be fun to watch with Kaprizov (who is lighting up the KHL right now, leads the league with 29 goals in 53 games as a 21 year old). Aberg has played on the RW every game for us despite being listed as a LW, so I don't see this as an issue.

VAN is not looking at Zucker - Severely snake-bitten??? 9.2 % is pretty normal ... you are simply overvaluing him - he shot 8.2% a few years ago as well, so this in not WAY out there for him... he is also 27 and has had only one season of more than 50 pts (might get there this year) - 3 years ago he has 71GP & just 23 pts (at age 24) ... he's in his prime right now and being overpaid @ $5.5M until he's 32 in 2023... while Jake is just finding his own & only 22 ... has increased his production from last year and plays a physical game to boot!
