OTT declines

They decline a long term upgraded RHD, slightly overpaid defensive center and some picks for 1 year of a LHD and 8mil of long term Norris who so far seems overpaid? Not even bringing Norris' health into the discussion.

ya pulock has bad defensive metrics. no thanks picks are meaningless 3rd and 4th round.
Norris is far far better than pageau when he is healthy

Norris is also getting paid 3mil more for 5 more years than Pageau. Plus he's extremely injury prone. I wouldn't want to touch him at all

at this point in time, that is one hell of a caveat for a guy getting paid nearly $48M over the next 6 years.

i honestly wouldn't do this trade if I were running the Islanders. He's missed 106 games over the past two seasons and who even knows if that shoulder holds up after the third major surgery on it. He's too big of a gamble to take based on the term and cap hit you'd be looking at.
