Selling Nelson

Created by: Icelander24
Team: 2024-25 New York Islanders
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 14, 2024
Published: Feb. 14, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I feel these are both somewhat realistic trades that jumpstart the Isles youth tremendously turning Nelson and Wahlstrom into 3 good young players. I’d prefer trading for prospects like Nikishin instead of picks cause their impact will be earlier for a still competitive team next year. Also if we’re picking at 10ish I think at least one of Catton/Lindstrom/Helenius falls to us.

Likelihood of the 'canes giving up Nikishin is around about 0 in a Nelson trade.

Yea I was kinda thinking that. I think value wise the trade is alright but I totally see why you wouldn't want to trade your top prospect.

Subtract Nikishin and add a few high round picks and you have yourself a deal

Isles and Canes are not a match for Nelson.

I disagree... if you guys are willing to accept a futures-based package then I can see a deal being made

I want a quality prospect and not crazy about Drury. He's 24 already, a 2C for the canes and not putting up numbers.

He's a 3/4C in terms of ice time... Staal and Aho get more ice time per game.

I believe Isles can get a better package. I still point to Colorado as the ideal team to trade Nelson
