Pageau to the Islanders, wow. Please not for a 1st.

A 1st (2020 or 2021) + two 3rds ... too much for Pageau IMO.

Both 3rds are conditional, not sure about the conditions.

Nvm, 1st + 2nd + 3rd ... 3rd is moved if NYI wins the cup ... i believe it's only if the Isles win the cup this year.

Trochek to CAR ... Chase Priskie involved.

Sounds like Haula and Wallmark could be involved.

Pierre LeBrun says the Flyers are showing serious interest in Nate Thompson.

Sounds like the Islanders are trying to get Parise. Wow.

What do you all think of Parise potentially going to the Islanders?

I’m gonna cry

What if Minnesota retains half?

Ok, so I’m not actually gonna cry, but I’m worried about the offseason with having to resign Barzy, Pulock and Toews. Ladd is going back so it isn’t terrible, but Parise is now a 2 million add on to our pay roll, along with the reported Pageau extension. I’m excited for the season, but the offseason has me a bit worried

Let me see the deal 1st lol

I need to see the deal 1st before getting worried lol

Fair

Minnesota could retain, though. So, if they retain half and we send Ladd at his full cap hit, we're saving cap space right now.

Bellows + Ladd + hickey for parise (I hope )

I’d rather keep Bellows. Wilde or Koivula would be my preference

Fine with me

Can they announce the damn trade already I’m losing my mind over here

I don't think it's worth moving Bellows to get Parise.

Maybe Koivula but hopefully not Wilde.

Is Gustafsson getting moved? He was a healthy scratch.

Nvm just got traded to Calgary.

Assuming the Gustafsson deal gets done, that's 16 trades today already. Usually by noon there are 9-12 announced.

Y'know, I was fretting about us losing our 1st rounder, and I still don't like seeing it go, but the reason I hated the idea was that Pageau was a pending UFA. Lou just signed Pageau, a 27 yr old scoring center who can kill penalties and is great in a locker room, to a 6 year contract. And that 1st rounder is lottery protected.

Fair deal if you ask me.

As for Parise, I say go for it so long as Ladd is the main piece going their way. I'd rather have an overpaid NHL 40-50 point scorer than a overpaid AHL 40-50 point scorer. If we have to give Minnesota a middling prospect or two, so be it. As long as that prospect's quality is below Bellows.
