You want us to take Krug and give you a pick for Mat Barzal? Jesus Christ this is terrible.

I like Jordan Kyrou but come on. Nobody trades top line centers for wingers unless they r morons. This is all cause Kevin Kurz made up the Kadri rumor for clicks. They can’t even afford him.

Seriously let’s break this down. You think a 31 year old Tarasenko on an expiring deal, a cap dump in Torey Krug and Jordan Kyrou gets you Barzal, Mayfield, Bailey who has a better contract than Krug and a 2nd. The best piece in this deal is a guy who won the fastest skater contest cause they didn’t invite Barzal lmao. Plz delete this.


I was just messing around. I'm not taking this seriously. I do think Kyrou is the most valuable asset in the whole thing though. We can argue about him and Barzal if you want but not the point. Barzal hasn't been close to a point per game player in some time. And Krug is more valuable than Baily in my opinion but you can argue other way if want.

Krug contract is too many years. Again Barzal not being a PPG player has nothing to do with him and everything to do with his linemates. If you didn’t agree with that statement you wouldn’t have proposed this disaster of a trade.

Barzal comes with 5, going into 6th, years of service time and a 10 mil qualifying offer.

If anyone is the cap dump in the trade it's Bailey. The two best players in the trade are Kyrou and Taraseneko. Teams are, usually. loyal to their players. Both teams pass. Barzal gets his 10 mil in 23-24 and we'll see which is loyal. Player or team...

All good lol. I am being way too intense rn. I’m really just mad at Kurz for this dumb ****ing Kadri rumor. They can’t even afford to clear cap space to sign him!!!

Tkachuk didn’t ask for ten million so I’m not sure you are correct. The Bailey comments on this site r kind of ridiculous. It’s two years with a lower salary than his cap hit. It’s far from the end of the world.

You guys play-acting like offended-hens-because-the-Isles-are-getting-fleeced-here are the height of hilarity.

And dude, why even post this? You know the Blues are not doing this wanton madness and you know the Isles fans will go all Daniel Day Lewis on it. Some thoughts are better left unsaid, buddy.

And he's the worst player in the trade.

Tkachuk's qualifying offer was 9 mil. He received qualifying offer plus 500K for 8 years. Barzal ,his agent, didn't set up the payment structure to take less than the qo, or a long term contract for much less. Barzal at 8 years 9.5 mil good for you?

Taking on Krug’s contract negatively impacts signing Sorokin. His contract is set up so Bailey and Beau are coming off the books that year. So yeah if the isles trade their only top line quality forward and **** up resigning Sorokin then they r getting fleeced. Idk how that’s even a topic for debate.

What would you call trading your franchise center for an expiring winger and Tory Krug? All I’m saying is the long term impact of this deal would hurt them in other ways which is why they r getting “fleeced.” Trades don’t occur in a vacuum. They are impacted by other moves you make.

The mere fact that you magically omitted the most valuable piece in the entire trade as if it wasn't coming to your team proves that discussing this with you is futile. Have a good one.

The cap is going to go up and should be going up quite significantly soon. NHL had record revenues last year.

eh i mean it's not a great idea or anything but in a barzal trade you're looking to acquire a guy like kyrou to replace him. tarasenko as a rental doesn't add much unless they flip him (which they could) and they don't really have a place on the roster for krug at this point with romanov in the mix but to acquire kyrou it might be worth it. it's something to think about.
