For the Isles trade, how about Pinto for a 2nd & Ruslan Iskhakov. He's the Isles' top center prospect.

When it comes to Pulock, I don't see him getting traded. I don't see any of our defensemen getting traded for the simple fact that their all locked up for so long with a NMC/NTC or both.

Nah I wouldn’t do Iskhakov and a 2nd . Pinto is too important to sell that low

What's your trade then?
For some reason Dorion chose Tarasenko over Pinto

I don’t think they move pinto unless it’s for someone more proven with term

I'd love to get Tye Kartye. Very underrated and was great in the playoffs last year.

What was Dorian thinking maxing out the cap before he signed Pinto? For 1 rental year of Tarasenko you destroyed the relationship with Pinto.

Kartye is not for sale

Pulock is great with his contract and I would be ready to pay a huge price like that but also don't want to trade Chabot at all. It is so written in the sky that Chabot on another team and coaching would be a Zibanejad situation 2.0


Dorion has no idea what he is doing. I thought he chose Tarasenko over Kubalik but he hasn't traded Kubalik yet for some reason. The guy can't even be re-signed after the season lol (will need to use the cap space to replace Tarasenko)

But yeah no on Ruslan Iskhakov, 23 y/o 5'8 player who hasn't even played in the NHL yet? Only way they'd trade Pinto is if it makes them Better now


You could also say he prioritized not trading Kubalik (also UFA) and jumped into cap hell by himself. Dorion is just not a good GM at all
