Thread: Dubas is trigger happy Sandin trade could end up haunting the Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>I gotta say, it is genuinely amusing to watch so many people this board do a hard 180 from "lol, Leafs fans over value Sandin he cant even get into the top 4!" to "Lol, Leafs traded away a super elite guy and got robbed!"</div></div>

Nah I always knew Sandin was a top 4 dman that can quaterback a powerplay. I wanted the Isles to offersheet him last season given the chance. I was shocked that the Leafs traded him.

Thread: Dubas is trigger happy Sandin trade could end up haunting the Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>well, you see the difference here is that Toews was already one of the better 2 way defenders in the league and Lou traded him for scraps because he signed a bunch of bad players to bad deals.
Dubas traded Sandin because he could not out play the guys in front of him and now he is literally getting every bounce in 3 of his 4 games. Like, Sandin is playing well but he is getting 75% offensive zone starts, has a 17.5 on ice shooting % and a 110 PDO. These number are hilariously unsustainable.
Comparing a guy who was elite who continued to be elite after a trade to a guy who was playing like a bottom pairing guy to bobby orr numbers in a hilariously small sample size is simply rediculous and the only reason an islanders fan would make a thread about it is to try and rile up leafs fans.</div></div>

Lets say this as an Isles fan I know when my GM has screwed up, look at the Devon Toews trade the return is not as bad as that but considering the isles were cap strapped gong into the pandemic year its even more moronic for Dubas because he had full control over Sandin. My word of advice don't be shocked when Rielly falls off and there is no one to replace him, you will know the haunting feeling in due time.

Thread: All healthy playoff lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>Ottawa and Buffalo have legitimate chances to overtake the Islanders. I don't think the Islanders can win consistently without Barzal, meanwhile Ottawa and Buffalo seem to be coming together at the right time. Ottawa should handle Chicago easily tonight, and they'll be 2 points back with 2 games in hand. Regardless of tonight, Buffalo will still have 3 games in hand and at worst, they're 4 points behind.</div></div>

I guess last night results didn't support your evaluation plus Buffalo is coming off a back to back and has to go to NYC, Buffalo is on life support. Ottawa is TBD

What team is going to overtake them Buffalo. There defense and Goaltending is horrendous. Florida is stabilizing but Bob will run out of gas and they have to make up 8 points with one game in hand. Ottawa is young but will eventually slow down given the pace they are recently on. WASH is older than the isles and lost depth at the trade deadline. The isles have the X factor in Sorokin. At the end of the day you have to win the games in hand and no team is consistently doing that

Thread: this team is so terrifying

This team is not terrifying, they brought in two wingers whose years are numbered, their defense gives up to many high dangerous chances and they have a goalie that played out of his mind last year not this year. Inconclusion they will be out in the second round in six games when they verse the Canes.

Thread: Year 2 after big deadline move

The isles are going to have to add Wahlstrom given the fact that the Pens, Sens and Carolina are also on Chychrun. Lou is probably debating right now to throw in Wahstrom but he probably wants to wait until the offseason so he could trade Pageau and get some picks back to not have to throw in Wahlstrom. Overall Wahlstrom in my guess is definitely on the table

Thread: Blackhawk Fans are Going to be Disappointed but surely a Reality

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Once again, the Flyers had no leverage with Giroux last year. Tarasenko has an NTC and would ONLY go to the Rangers. The originally predicted return of a 1st and prospect already calculated for that factor. You don't get to use the same coupon twice on a single purchase.

It does seem like that is what is going to happen. But it shouldn't.</div></div>

But with the Tarasenko trade the Rangers were not originally going to go for Kane so they did not mind giving up a first given the fact that they had an extra first in this year's draft. The Rangers will not give up a first because they know they don't need Kane.

I don't think it will be a conditional first but I still think it is a fair return for the lack of leverage that Chicago has. I don't think Drury will just rob CHI for peanuts

HAHA, anyone that thinks the Rangers are given up LAF or Kakko, the 2023 1st round pick or the rangers top prospect will be sorely disappointed. The rangers are probably going to offer 2 2nd rounders and a B-C level prospect for Kane.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Ok let's flip this around for a second, say Kane does only waive for NY and this is the only offer Drury is willing to put forward. Do you think Davidson will just forget that, do you think other teams GM's are going to overlook the fact that Drury isn't offering fair value? This sort of offer is as bad for Drury's career as the OF MB made for Aho was for his.</div></div>

First off every GM knows when you have leverage use it that is just part of business. Second an offersheet is frown upon because the players who get offersheet are RFA under full control by there teams and for the original team to meet the offersheet it takes capspace that team would not want to willingly give up.

When Chicago ownership callls Davidson and ask him why did you not get anything in return for Kane , when the owner knows that Kane is leaving in free agency and at the time still had control of him. It is going to make Davidson very inept as a GM.

Thread: My Guess on Kane

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>PLD also is rumored to only be willing to sign in Montreal long term and is headed there in FA, does that mean Winnipeg has to take 2 2nds and Norlinder for him? No just like PLD Kane will get full value even if he limits movement to just NYR. BTW he hasn't even said whether or not he will waive and definitely hasn't said publicly it will be NYR or nothing.</div></div>

The difference is PLD is more of an asset due to his ability to help Winnipeg in the playoffs Kane is not helping CHI in the Playoffs. Also PLD is a upcoming RFA they WPG can trade his rights in the summer while Kane will be gone in free agency with no control from CHI.

Because if Kane does not decide to waive his no trade clause because he can't go to the Rangers than Chicago loses him at the end of the year for no return. That would make Kyle Davidson look like a moron.
