Thread: Big Draft Day
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>Logic is perfectly fine on most things, but a few thoughts:

1) Don't think AZ is the team who would even consider signing Brock. They're nowhere near close. I realize they're a placeholder, but still. Maybe a team like WPG would be more inclined if Stastny walks and they have a hole at 3C. The 1st or 2nd round pick would be MUCH lower than AZ.

2) Really don't want to trade Lee. He's too good and the Isles can't replace his net front presence, let alone his 40 goals. Too much chemistry on that top line (especially if you're working under the assumption JT returns),

Both things being said, if this was the line up next season I would not be upset. But definitely disappointed in letting a guy like Anders walk.</div></div>

1) Arizona was literally the 1st team on the list that had a 1st and 3rd round pick, I didn't do that at all thinking they might want to sign him

2) I love Lee too, but our offense is good enough to carry on without him. And we have Otto Koivula's in the system, who's been compared to Lee. The Isles need defense desperately and Hanifin fills a major need at a lower cost than Lee will command when he's a 29 year old free agent after next year.

Thread: Going Overseas and Making a Trade (Read Description for Explanation)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawkisles</b></div><div>Complete shot in the dark idea here, but what about this deal?

NYI gets:
RFA Rights to Hanifin
Carolina's 2018 1st Round Pick

CAR gets:
Anders Lee
RFA rights to Brock Nelson
Mitchell Vande Sompel

NYI fills a short term hole on defense and gets a third 1st round pick, with which they could use to trade up for an even better pick or simply nab a 3rd high round prospect. Losing Anders Lee will hurt, but I think Beauvillier is ready for increased minutes, Bellows looks like the real deal and Ho-Sang is ready for his REAL rookie season. Isles still have enough offense to do damage after this deal.

CAR gets two fantastic goal scorers (Lee a 40 goal scorer, Brock a frequent 20 goal scorer) and an above average defensive prospect. Hanifin is a great talent, don't get me wrong, but the returns from dealing his rights would go a very long way in adding the offense they desperately need.</div></div>

I’d personally do that deal. I love Anders but the team has enough scoring, especially on the left side. I think we’d be fine without him even though he’s probably the best net front presence in the league
