It would take the 1st to make it worthwhile for NYI to take those 2 contracts and bourgault and a 2nd is nowhere near enough for dobson

Isles decline, not trading our Franchise 22 yr old defenseman coming off his first full season (80 games) and had 51 pts.

Rangers beat that offer for Patrick Kane.

Pretty pathetic offer for Noah Dobson, Foegele and Barrie are jokes as main pieces for Dobson. Both are basically cap dumps as of now plus Bourgault and a late 1st and 2nd isn't nearly enough for Noah Dobson.

Isles counter with Bailey, 2023 1st, Dufour, and clutterbuck for Bouchard.

I'm surprised nobody has offer sheeted Dobson. I certainly would if I had the cap space.

Lou has signed him. Lou is just senile and doesn't announce **** till training camp. And most teams are afraid of Lou wrath

Yeah, Lou probably has a drawer full of signed contracts. Looking forward to seeing what the number is, because Dobson is Bouchard's closest comp.

But if he hasn't, I'd give him a 1 x $8.4M offer sheet with a handshake agreement on a 8 x $6M deal come January.

Would think he would want more in the 7 million range on a 8 year but you damn well know the islanders would offersheet Bouchard the first chance they got

Yeah, that's the trick: Bouchard would have to be signed first. I imagine they've had talks already, but I reckon Bouch wants to wait and prove himself 1 more season.
