Yeah, Lucius is a better RW prospect than anyone the Islanders have in the pipeline despite his injury history, but the rest of that package is spare parts. That's nowhere near enough to get Ryan Pulock and his team-friendly (both in money and term) contract out of Long Island.

In general, you don't get a first-pair RhD without giving up a first-round draft pick (plus quite a bit more) and No, Chaz Lucius isn't the equivalent of a first-round draft pick.

Bear didn't look great and Iafallo is a fine player but Caps need the D depth more than another bottom 6 forward
