You're too big of a Sensitive Sally to have a Hockey discussion with. Pass.

Lmao

Isles say **** no

Detroit passes on trade #1.

Islanders pass on trade #2

Trade #3 is fine.

Marc Staal will get a similar deal as last season $2,000,000 x 1 year. If Yzerman is generous perhaps he gives him slightly more money.

Barzal is twice the player Bertuzzi is. Value is miles off even if you ignore the contract status'

But Bert's uncle was drafted by the Isles! 🤣

I don’t mind that Necas trade. Necas still has a ton of potential and he was really snakebitten this year. He had a ton of opportunities to score, but his shot accuracy was awful this year. Zadina could benefit from a change of scenery, and Hronek is a tad bit overrated, but I think he could really come into his own on the Canes.

canes pass on the 1st one...

Give me Larkin for Mat Martin and Clutterbuck?

Both pass on the first one.

Let's not go crazy on the other end now.

fine. Raymond, Seider, Larkin, Bertuzzi and Ned for a 2076 7th round pick

Sorokin for Jimmy Howard

Fine Barzal+Sorokin for Zadina and Mitchell we can do this all day if you like.

deal

add a 7th and ill do it

I don't know, the 7th might be the tipping point. But since you twisted my arm. Done deal.

I could see the first trade going either way - it's a classic "challenge/change of scenery" type of trade. The value is fair but I could picture either team deciding to stick with what they got instead of changing it up.

As far as that Islanders trade, it's an easy pass for NY: first off, a first line center is always going to be more valuable than a top line winger, so Barzal > Bertuzzi there; Barzal is 2 years younger than Bertuzzi so he gets a checkmark there; they are both basically a wash in production - Bertuzzi scored at a slightly higher rate this season (62 in 69 GP vs. 59 in 73 GP) but Barzal's track record is better (70.5 pts/82 GP in his career against 55.9/82 for Bertuzzi). Bertuzzi is more valuable contract wise ($4.375M vs. $7M) with the major caveat that he's a UFA at the end of next season, while Barzal is still an RFA. Mat Barzal is clearly the better player, so adding in a B-tier prospect and a presumably late 2nd is going to be enough to get that deal finished. You've got to add on this year's 1st to even keep the Islanders on the phone - it's still going to take a better prospect to even get this into the realm of possibility.

Kenny Holland just passed out. But I'm getting the paperwork ready.

The 7th could be the next Palat.

The way Yzerman drafts, Perhaps even the next Kucherov.

The only way NYI trades for Bertuzzi is to put him next to Barzal. Other than that, Bert isn't necessary in NYI.

Train wreck!

this is fine, but i think you could for sure get more than just a 6th for erne and i really dont know why arizona would want him

Erne is Steve Yzerman's son. He might want a 1st. He won't get it. But it might be the only way he trades him.
