Team: 2023-24 New York Islanders

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 10, 2023

Published: Dec. 10, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Reilly has been very impressive, Romanov has found his stride as a DFD, Dobson is having a breakout year, reuniting Pelech-Pulock could rejuvenate them both (if theyre not both seriously injured), Bortuzzo as a 7th is alot better than anything else we have rn and it would allow mayfield to rest for a bit since hes clearly playing banged up. Use the assets on a forward instead?

Also no idea if this works deadline cap wise but whatever

Canucks unlikely to consider as they are win now mode and Walhlstrom is not progressing as has hoped when drafted.

basing it off the report Kuzmenko is being shopped, you free up the cap for next year and get 2 young pieces who are NHL ready. They aint superstars but you get cap space and nhlers

I dont wanr Kuzmenko at his full price and the cap doesnt work once pelech returns. Our 1st line is doing rly well rn i dont wanna change the top 6 and paying 5.5 for a 3RW and 5 for a 3C is a lot

Teams are calling. He's not being shopped. Plus the team isn't looking to next year. They already have Myers, and other pieces, coming off the books so cap is fine.

My problem with Walhlstrom is he isn't going to makeup where Kuz is lacking, despite his size, and lose production offensively in top of it.

Bolduc and Walhlstrom just aren't exciting and do nothing for the team now.

Bolduc has zero chance of playing in Van despite being potentially ready with Hughes, Cole, Z and Soucy all ahead on the left. Along with other prospects coming up.

This might be a better package elsewhere. Value isn't necessarily bad but not good for Van for what the pieces are.
