Description
Lots of reading and probably alot of angry people
Trades
1.
NYI
  1. Laine, Patrik [RFA Rights]
CBJ
    Somewhat similar situation to the Fiala trade, unless CBJ finds a taker for Nyquist

    2024 1st Round Pick
    Mid Prospect (Wilde? Bolduc? Iskahov?)
    2.
    STL
      An Extension would have to be agreed upon.
      Blues roster is set and they are under the cap so there is no need to trade Tarasenko other than to fulfill the request/get something back for him since he isnt re-signing. I'd imagine the Blues would want a player to help immediately rather than picks/prospects.

      Anthony Beauvillier
      If that is not enough then maybe a guy like Holmstrom or Salo?
      3.
      VAN
        If Vancouver is hell bent on getting a top 4 RHD in a trade for Miller I really dont see how the Isles were close to acquiring him at the draft before VAN refused to let them talk extension. I really dont see a package that makes sense here

        Scott Mayfield
        ???
        ???
        4.
        NYI
        1. Puljujärvi, Jesse [RFA Rights]
        EDM
          Apparently EDM wants nothing but a pick for Pulju and I think he could really explode with a change of scenery

          2023 2nd
          OR
          2024 3rd + Kieffer Bellows
          5.
          NYI
          1. Kane, Patrick ($5,250,000 retained)
          CHI
            Assuming Kane at 50% would require a king's ransom and Im not quite sure the islanders would be willing to pay it, especially if a team like the rangers offers a guy like Kakko+

            2023 1st Rounder
            William Dufour
            Anthony Beauvillier
            Robin Salo
            2024 2nd Round Pick

            even that might not get it done
            6.
            NYI
            1. Tkachuk, Matthew [RFA Rights]
            CGY
              If Kane needed a king's ranson I think Tkachuk's price would make me puke

              2023 1st Round Pick
              Aatu Raty
              Anthony Beauvillier/Oliver Wahlstrom
              Robin Salo
              2024 2nd Round Pick

              Maybe even more
              7.
              WPG
                This would probably wouldnt cost much sense Wheeler isnt really anything special anymore and he has a bloated cap hit

                Josh Bailey
                2024 3rd Round Pick
                8.
                SJS
                  Meier is in a similar spot that DeBrincat was in. Rebuilding team, one year away from his final RFA year, money is almost the same too. Since Cat got moved for the 7 and 39 I'd imagine this would be similar/less since Cat is the better player

                  2023 1st Round Pick
                  Simon Holmstrom
                  Bode Wilde/2024 3rd Round Pick
                  9.
                  SJS
                    I'd like to preface that this would be a bad idea. Already 33 signed for another 5 seasons at 8M would be a very VERY bad idea when we have to pay Barzal Sorokin and Dobson within the next 1-3 years. That being said I really cant see this costing much

                    Josh Bailey
                    Bode Wilde
                    10.
                    NYI
                    1. Gostisbehere, Shayne ($2,250,000 retained)
                    ARI
                      Woah a defenseman! Yeah the Islanders still need a 3LD and Lou has said he wants an offensive defenseman so Ghost at 50% gives the isles some wiggle room to improve upfront too

                      2024 2nd Round Pick
                      Robin Salo
                      11.
                      MIN
                        If Kaprisov is really stuck in Russia there's really no reason for the Wild to even bother this season especially with the dead cap from Parise and Suter's buyouts. Islanders fulfill their 2 big needs in one trade and Minnesota gets pieces to build off of for when the buyout cap penalties are finally gone

                        2024 1st Round Pick
                        Robin Salo
                        Simon Holmstrom
                        12.
                        COL
                          Colorado is seemingly trying to get space to keep Kadri while also not screwing themselves over for the Mac extension needing to happen next year. Islanders get a dependable LD long term and the Avs get cap relief and a 3LD who can play NHL minutes this year.

                          Robin Salo
                          2023 2nd Round Pick
                          2024 2nd Round Pick/Simon Holmstrom
                          13.
                          TOR
                            Leafs apparently want a winger for Tavares and the Islanders need a dependable 3LD just in case Romanov isnt totally ready for big boy top 4 minutes. Simple good ol' hockey trade

                            Josh Bailey
                            Richard Panik (cap reasons)

                              I'd personally rather absolutely stink next year than do this but apparently Anderson got alot of interest and yknow how NHL GMs love to overpay bums with size

                                Arizona gets this pick if Ladd plays 1 game this year (and he obviously will)

                                Patrick Laine is younger and better than Kevin Fiala. Probably costs two firsts and a good young player/prospect at the minimum. Ofc DeBrincat was traded for a bag of blue picks and Kevin Korchinski so who the **** knows.

                                Also Romanov played top four minutes in Montreal and was good when he played during Montreal’s cup run. There is no reason for the Isles to target Jake Muzzin. There is never a reason to target Jake Muzzin.

                                Timo Meier isnt the trade target you'd think because of the structure of his contract. Im pretty sure his Qualifying offer next year is 10 million

                                This dude hasn’t seen Romanov play and doesn’t seem to know who Robin Salo is. But hey the islanders need to get older! These trades will be great if that’s the goal!

                                He’s probably worth that tho lol. It’s more about the cost of acquiring him via trade.

                                Jarmo will do whatever he needs to to keep Laine. If it means buying someone out or trading Bjorkstrand, so be it. Someone will take either Voracek or Nyquist.

                                Nyquist should be easy to move tbh.I don’t see Voracek being dealt tho.

                                For sure. Some of the delay may be Jarmo letting Nyquist choose his destination as a courtesy to him. He’s been an integral guy here since he signed as a FA, and we’ll miss him very much.

                                I wonder if they hadn’t signed Gudbranson if they would be in this mess. Idk if he was important to landing Johnny G but my first instinct tells me it wasn’t lol.

                                Or he’s trying to move Voracek first.

                                I think he's working on Laine to get him to a reasonable contract as an effort to keep Nyquist personally. I'm pretty sure there was mutual interest in extending Nyquist on a team friendly deal before Gaudreau happened. I don't think there's any feasible path to keeping Nyquist and Voracek though.

                                Gaudreau was such a curveball. I’m sure every plan they had pretty much had to be scuppered. I hope Gus can stay too, but his role is the most replaceable and the most moveable.

                                Would not make the AZ, MIN, TOR or MTL deals for sure.

                                This dude hasn’t seen Romanov play and doesn’t seem to know who Robin Salo is. But hey the islanders need to get older! These trades will be great if that’s the goal!


                                I flat out say some of these deals are bad. I've followed Romanov since before he was even in the NHL and I love Salo. Im just trying to be realistic and base things off what has been said/how lou operates lmao

                                Timo Meier isnt the trade target you'd think because of the structure of his contract. Im pretty sure his Qualifying offer next year is 10 million


                                I think its worth it if they get an extension done so the $10M threat isnt there tbh

                                Yeah but Lou doesn’t have a history of trading for guys with horrendous contracts. He creates them on his own lmao.

                                It’s a lot of bad idea bro. If you don’t like the player I don’t c why you would suggest him tbh.

                                Its guys who are seemingly available not guys I want. You really think I wanna be stuck with guys like Anderson and Couture till the end of time

                                Doesn’t make sense since half the guys you suggested have no trade protection or aren’t even in the rumor mill

                                the rumor mill that had Gaudreau going to NYI/NJD before apparently CBJ offered 7x12 just for it to actually be 7x9.8?

                                these ppl got no clue man

                                Couture isn’t on the move dude. Why would you even suggest it?
