Yeah i agree it’s close though lol isles tanked his value

Islanders gain 4.125M from this trade

That's enough money to sign Parise+Suter possibly

Even more so; panik could be retained more (I believe). The guy could be sold for more assets if he’s playing well

Veterans go brrrr

Panik (50% retained) to Vancouver for podkolzin

Pelech*

Zajac+Greene+Schneider+Kulikov*

I think Francis will go for a younger approach, but if not goodbye Blake Comeau and good riddance!

Clake Bomeau*

I would love kulikov on the isles lol

Bellows, Panik is a 4th liner

He's a former Devil. Seems like perfect fit

This is what I would do if I was Lou

Trade Barzal, sign Zajac to a max extension
Trade Wahlstrom, resign Palmieri
Trade Sorokin, resign Schneider
Trade Dobson, resign Greene

Sign Coleman, Kulikov, Murray, Vatanen, Hall, Parise, Johansson, Larsson, Gusev in free agency

@AndrewLadd

He’s better than Seth Jones(and will only cost 1.5 mill) but some people aren’t ready for that conversation

Jarmo thinks Seth Jones is better than Prime Bobby Orr

I don’t think he does, but he knows benning + bowman think he’s at that level. He’s just taking advantage

Can you retain on Seattle's official pick? Say GMRF wants Johansen from Nashville can they retain on him or no?

No, but Seattle could pick an AHLer while Nashville retains on Johansen in a trade.

Probably not

I think there would have to be a trade included

They gonna need a lot more to resign their current boys though. Sorokin, Pealch, and Beauvillier need new deals. Got to think Komorov and maybe Varlomov are moved to make everything work. As I dont think 8mill is enough to resign those 3 and bring in Parise and Suter.

They have 14.5M in cap space right now (with Boychuck on LTIR)
Beau - 5M
Sorokin - 4M
Pelech -5.5

I think they'll move Komarov and Hickey to give them some more cap flexibility

It's weird how Leddy and Graves got similar returns

actually I think its less than 14 due to overages. Still got around 13 mill to spend but with Sorokin probs getting Demko money (5mx5), Pelech potentially getting either a Rielly or Morrisey deal (5-6.25m) and Beau probs making Toffoli money (4.25) for sure more moves will need to happen. My prediction right now Komorov and maybe Varlomov and Hickey potentially either is moved or if still possibly bought out.

Performance Bonus Overage Update:11 teams will have a bonus overage penalty in the 2021-22 season due to performance bonuses earned by their players.3 teams will have a bonus overage penalty due to the split overage decision made last off-season.https://t.co/3B8UOBLIyt pic.twitter.com/uriXUb0zfq

Thou hath been hurt, and hurt deeply.

A hurt only leaf fans with the pain and scars of 54 (FRR?!?!?) years of losing can sympathize with….

Now this is just silly even for a chilled leaf fan like myself. Not many people realize this is not as bad as it was before. The Ballard era was even worse than losing. It was pure utter torture. New leaf fans don't seem to realize this and often think they know pain. My dad went through that era and it was the worst, he told me the other day 5 first round exits still isn't as bad as what Ballard made this city and team go through on a daily basis for more than 10 years and literally had to die to start change (pretty sad if you think about it).

Their time will come, its only a matter of time. They got to much talent not to win a round. Matthews and Marner are still growing and learning. As Tampa, Washington, and even Pittsburgh demonstrated patience is key.
