Team: 2020-21 New York Islanders

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 28, 2021

Published: Mar. 28, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Carolina

A) is looking for a RHD similar to Travis Hamonic

B) is looking to trade a goalie

C) is not interested in rentals.

Scott Mayfield fits this mold perfectly imo; he has term, is very affordable, is a physical, defensive minded defenseman and is probably best suited for a bottom pair that isn't going to have to be responsible for contributing to offense. Think he would fit Carolina really well, where they can give him a lesser role, but he can still contribute and play more to his strengths. I really don't care that we'll have to see him 4+ times again next season.

Meanwhile, the Islanders would get Reimer and then flip him to St. Louis for Zach Sanford. Not sure how STL fans feel about Sanford but I do know some have expressed interest in getting another goalie, so getting Reimer would accomplish that. I'd be okay with getting a pick or two instead, but getting a roster player back would be preferable.

And then Hall trade obviously, probably won't cost that much but if we want to rid ourselves of Leo, we'll have to give up a bit extra. Davidson is included as defensive depth with Mayfield gone
