Isles pass. Rather have Bellows than Ghost anyway. Dude is a late bloomer.

replace Marchenko with Foudy, or just take him and Fischer out and deal

Ducks will decline that trade, if for no other reason than there isn't really a place for him on the team presently. We have far too many players on the left side of the Ice, and our RW depth isnt deep enough to be giving up our second best prospect at the position.

He is the right age, and if he can get his consistency issues together he could be great to pair with Z and Terry to have a power forward on the top line, but right now we have no room for him unless we were to move Comtois out.

Also, you are under the cap floor right now, need to have at least 61.5 million on your 22 man roster.

-I think that's a lot for Columbus to be giving up - and as said upthread, I think Fischer isn't necessarily a sexy addition to the trade for them. I think there's something here, I just think it needs to be less complicated.

-I don't think Anaheim's at the point where they should be trading futures for veterans. I'd also want to see a repeat performance out of Crouse before giving up this much for him - it was different when he was a $1.5M player, or even if he had signed in the $2-2.5M range - but now he's got a 5x$4.3M deal and I would want to see proof that he's worth it before giving up a pile of assets for him.

-sure? value's fine i guess

-value seems about right but Islanders aren't looking to upgrade LD at this point - it seems like they're happy running Pelech-Romanov-Salo going into the season. Obviously people get hurt and things change, but as it stands now I see them passing on this type of deal.

If that's the price for Chychrun I hope the Jackets stay far, far away.
