Team: 2022-23 New York Islanders
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 6, 2022
Published: Apr. 6, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Regarding Martin. He's not actually bought out but retired given his body being beaten up. Also, this roster would be midway through the season after some early season lineup experimentation by Trotz. I'm also taking into consideration how much Minnesota believes in Rossi right now as opposed to Addison.
There may be some other trades involving trading away Bellows and other picks in a pick/prospect swap, but this is the meat and potatoes of what could happen. Also, Fiala and Leddy's hits seem low but their actual money owed would be backloaded in their contracts.

Trades
1.
NYI
  1. 2022 3rd round pick (BOS)
  2. 2023 7th round pick (NSH)
OTT
  1. Bailey, Josh
Additional Details:
Owed less money than his actual cap hit. Doesn't have to give up much given it's an offseason trade. Re-unites him with Capuano. Enables Ottawa the possibility to flip him in the 2024 deadline if Ottawa continues to falter by then.
2.
NYI
  1. Dunn, Vince
Additional Details:
The Islanders get a young 2LD with playoff experience and RFA rights without having to fork over too much for a player like Chychrun.
SEA
  1. Salo, Robin [RFA Rights]
  2. 2022 2nd round pick (COL)
  3. 2023 4th round pick (NYI)
Additional Details:
To avoid running the risk of Dunn possibly filing for arbitration in the 2023 offseason due to current mismanagement by Hakstol, Francis would move Dunn to acquire more draft capital to buffer up their prospect pool and an NHL-ready D at a low AAV.
3.
NYI
  1. Fiala, Kevin [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
From an offensive standpoint, the Islanders finally get a top line LW they've been going for. Easy to accommodate him into the lineup given familiarity in the lockerroom between him and Parise.
MIN
  1. Pánik, Richard
  2. 2022 1st round pick (NYI)
  3. 2024 2nd round pick (NYI)
  4. 2024 3rd round pick (NYI)
Additional Details:
Fiala is 25 but given Minnesota's cap crunch, this is a realistic haul Minnesota would get. The mindset from Minnesota is to get picks from another team when they'd be at their highest value. The 2022 pick is a pick outside a playoff spot while the 2024 picks would be when the Islanders possibly take a step back. Panik going the other way clears away a contract. Also think, Minnesota will also trade away Kulikov at some point during the offseason as well.

On a team like Ottawa, Bailey would be mid-6. If he helps them make the playoffs, cool. If not, he can get flipped at the 2024 deadline when 1. Buyers get more desperate and 2. When his supporting cast helps bump up his numbers, increasing his value.


he would have almost no supporting cast though, the sens need play drivers and scorers and he isint that. I dont doubt that he could be okay next to norris and tkachuk but not much better than anyone else we already have in-house like joseph, brown or batherson. its just not worth commiting the cap and $ to him

Dobson has no arbitration rights and he's not getting close to Pelech's current hit based off of 1 offensive year with current glaring issues in his defensive game. Also, Dunn > Rielly.

Fiala's also only 25 with playoff experience and is a fast skater and finisher, which compliments Barzal's 5 on 5 game.


Dobson is above average defensively. If the isles don't give him a fair offer, he can just request a trade.

Leddy is arguably the worst defenseman in the NHL, even brining him back for league minimum would be a mistake.

Not that I support the idea, but I think Chara is coming back for another year. It definitely seems like Lou and Trotz love having him around.

Mike Reilly would be a good pickup as Boston will most likely move him this offseason, and if the Isles do re-sign Chara then the D is:

Pelech-Pulock.
Chara-Dobson
Reilly-Mayfield
Salo (Rotate in like they did Dobson his 1st year.

If Chara is not resigned then the Isles should look to find a LD that is better Defensively than Dunn that allows Dobson to join the rush. A guy like McCabe from CHI could fit that slot.

Pelech-Pulock.
McCabe-Dobson
Reilly-Mayfield
Salo (Rotate in like they did Dobson his 1st year.


I agree Chara will be coming back, and Lou and Trotz will wonder why the isles are 20 points out of a playoff spot by next trade deadline

If they were bringing him and Greene back, they would've been signed at the deadline like Clutterbuck and Parise.

I’m not sure about the fiala/parise connection being a best friends situation. By all reports parise and suter were more or less locker room cancers their last couple years in minny. The minny locker room is 10x closer than when parise was there last year, so fiala might look at him as a main reason why and not necessarily a welcome face.

No reports of Parise being a lockerroom cancer here on the Island. Suter's the one who hung up on Guerin; not Parise.
