I'm so sorry my *checks notes* mock trade where I give you guys a potential top line player and a LHD to fill the role you need and take back extra salary from your team makes you feel like I'm entitled. Grow up, it's a freaking fantasy roster and you're all butthurt

The odds of Tarasenko having a top line impact are extremely low. Scandella is barely worth league minimum and the Islanders do not need to move Komarov. Credit to you for proposing a trade that f*cks the Islanders. Beauvillier is significantly better than Tarasenko. God you sound like such a p*ssy

I really don't want to move Beauvillier, but I'd honestly rather move him than Bailey if we had to move someone to bring in Tarasenko. The Islanders are in a real pickle here, especially if they are bringing Palmieri back.

The classic I have lost the debate, have no facts to back up my opinion so will resort to insults.

A debate has literally never been won online so not sure what you're on about. I'm just saying it's fitting that the fanbase that has people who get all worked up about stats people saying their team is bad is also has members getting worked up about a random Blues fan they don't know trading for a player they like.

Everything I've said is true and fact based. Tarasenko is on the block. Beauvillier has been rumored. That's undeniable. You can attack the credibility of people you don't know I guess, but then don't get mad at me when I do the same. You have given me nothing to suggest NRD has been credible other than to say "Staples sucks", and NRD said that teams should be/are calling on Beauvillier. Doesn't mean they're going to trade him, as I said a million times, but that's what the trade was based on and I'm not sure what else you would want someone to base a trade on. Sorry for offending you so!

Thankfully you’re not the GM. Beauvillier is a lw, Bailey is a RW. Beauvillier is also much better than Bailey. If Tarasenko gets traded to the islanders (unlikely) , it won’t be Beauvillier going the other way.

Imagine thinking players can only play one side of the rink. Couldn't be me.

For the record, I don't want to move either. I want to ride with the forward group we have (assuming we are bringing back Palmieri, Cizikas, and Zajac and signing Parise). I'm just saying if I had to choose, it'd be Beau over Bailey. But the deal would have to be too good to pass up. This is not one of those deals.

Rutherford is a moron. Beauvillier confirmed in an interview a few days ago that he will be back with the islanders and a contract should be announced soon.

Tarasenko is damaged goods and Scandella is a #6 D. It is hilarious that Blues fans think that acquiring Beauvillier is realistic

Watch him pot 30+ this year and someone overpay for him at the TDL.

- Beau has never been rumored, writers have said that is who they would want. Rumors and wishlists are two different things.
- Have not attacked anyone's creditability, have stated no one has inside information on Lou or the other signings would have been leaked.
- Did not say Staple Sucks, said he has no inside information.

Good try though.

It has never been said that the Islanders have made Beauvillier available , just that teams have asked about him. There’s a difference.

NRD had pageau to the Isles a month before it happened, said Boychuk was going on LTIR before anyone else had it, Palmieri to the Isles etc…if you care that much to see proof go and look for it yourself.

Bailey has been terrible when he’s played left well wing. He’s much more comfortable on the right side, where he’s played for most of his career. Good try though

It’s more likely he’ll score less than 20 and ends up on IR

I mean, his analysis isn't wrong. The Islanders need to make practically perfect trades, so we're very particular with offers that come through.

I don't remember him playing LW since like 2013 with Tavares. He's a much different player than back then.

What are these if not rumors? How are they any less credible than anything else you guys have said? You specifically have provided no evidence for your opinion, so don't come talking to me about facts. Your opinion that they're not moving Beau but then saying we have no inside information at all because Lou hasn't leaked anything seems...contradictory? How do you know what he's up to if we have no knowledge at all?

Db said Staples knows nothing and I quoted him as well. That's who that was directed at and maybe I should have been more clear.

I mean I do like that but I also like the part where they said but I also like the part where he said they'd rather roll with the forward group they have and actually provided something to the conversation. Opinions are fine, and you're welcome to not like the trade but to say it isn't going to happen and say that people know nothing and that I'm entitled and you have all the right information is just insane ego. I said multiple times that my mock trade on freaking Capfriendly doesn't mean anything lmao

He’s plays left wing when Trotz puts the lines in a blender and late in games.

Literally one of their first comments was that I was entitled to have suggest a Beau trade yet you say I'm resorting to insults bruh I didn't start that tire fire, look at your fellow fans

I literally said that Beauvillier confirmed that he will be back with the Islanders and a contract should be announced soon. That should be enough to put these “rumors” to bed. Instead you went off trying to justify why it makes sense to make the awful trade you proposed lol. You (and many other blues fans on social media) act like Beauvillier to STL is bound to happen when it makes 0 sense for the Islanders.

Ah yes the guy who has 2 even strength goals in 24 games last season is going to put up 20 goals. His underlying numbers were trash as well and hes turning 30 soon. The Blues were a better team without him on the ice
