Not close on the Isles trade. You have to pay more than a 3rd just to dump Kassian.

A 3rd with Kassian for Varlie? I'd say that's pretty close to a deal, probably toss in a 4th just to make sure the islanders say yes, anything more is just highway robbery

Isles have absolutely no need for Kassian, he would be waived by them. Oilers get their #1 Goalie.

So why would the Isles say yes.

He’s trolling or just clueless. Terrible deal for Isles. Kassian is going to cost at least a 2nd to get rid of, Varlamov at least a 2nd and a 3rd/prospect.

No. It could be for future considerations and we would still decline.

tf is that isles deal lol

A 1st for varly and at least a 2nd to dump kassian to a different team bc isles arent taking multi-year cap dumps.

You probably aren't getting a 1st for your backup goalie that has 2 more years at 5 mil and Kassian is on pace for one his best years, currently more points than all but 4 Islander forwards, not a cap dump by the oilers if you watch him play

Backup yeah i guess hes a 1b but thats just bc he happens to be on a team with sorokin. You say 5m like hes some sort of cap dump or something. Hes the #1 goalie on probably half the teams in the league.
As for kassian ive probably watched like 1 or 2 oilers games this year so i wouldnt really know, but every person on here has said hes been terrible so i was going on the assumption that hes a pure cap dump. That being said even if he isnt hes completely not the guy that the isles want.
