Point is a great player. So is Barzal.

Bailey is one of the worst players in the NHL Kucherov is one of the best...

No what I'm saying is playing on the same line with Nikita Kucherov vs Josh Bailey might have an impact in your statistical outcome hahahaahah... Clueless Bolts fans nothing new here.

In 19/20 Barzal had 4 less ponts and in 21/22 Barzal had 1 more point than Point. Keep in mind Barzal was playing with Bailey instead of Kucherov you dumba22...

Thread: DCat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Yeah but in that case you'd have to offer more as Pageau at 5.0 AAV doesn't really have positive value, more like salary back going the other way

A top-10 protected 1st and a 34 y/o 4th liner on his last contract year is not very enticing and gets beat easily by someone else.</div></div>

lmao if you truly believe this you are in for massive disappointment. Debrincat will go for far less than what the senators gave up last offseason as he had a down year and he is due a massive contract. I truly don't even think they will get a first out of him

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 5, 2023 at 1:58 p.m.

Thread: Please

The one thing I don't understand is the Islanders barely have enough cap to get Debrincat and then they wouldn't have any cap to have any extra forwards. To me it just seems a little far fetched but I would love to land Cat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>I think if they are confident that Barzal could move back to C (especially if they can find a winger that can take draws for him if they don't have one already), then giving up one might not be a bad option especially if they are landing a guy like Pesce.</div></div>

If they could land pesce I would trade JGP all day and then sign a cheap 3rd line center like Towes. Wouldn’t move nelson though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>I never said that...although I don't blame you, that sentence is incomplete. It was meant to say if they can trade Nelson or Pageau for a defence equivalent, then maybe they don't resign Mayfield.

Ok I agree with that. Still wouldn’t trade either Center. Center depth and Defense wins championships. Islanders need an upgrade on D but have some of the best Center depth in the NHL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Not a bad idea to bring back Mayfield depending on price point of course. I don't think he will overpay to keep him around. If they can trade Pageau or Nelson

Honestly, I think if it depends on if he could swing a big deal or else he tries to sign Tarasenko like here.</div></div>

Islanders trading Pageau or Nelson to sign Tarasenko is one of the dumbest things ive ever heard

Thread: Islanders option

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tm0000</b></div><div>That package is less than what they gave up for pending UFA Horvat. Nylander will cost at least a 1st, a 2nd, and a good prospect or roster player. You can maybe build a package that includes JGP, but he absolutely can not be the main piece going back.</div></div>

It's crazy to me how much of an underrated play JGP is. Also in my opinion Horvat is a more valuable player than Nylander. Centers who win faceoffs, play PP, play PK and are good defensively as well as offensively are more valuable than star wingers.

Thread: Islanders option

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tm0000</b></div><div>That package <em>might</em> get you Alex Nylander, but definitely not William.</div></div>

JGP is the type of player that would thrive in Toronto and is what Toronto is missing. Additionally Nylander is a UFA at the end of the season IDK how much you expect to get out of him. I personally wouldnt want to get rid of pageau but would for Nylander. Probably the best 3rd line center in the league (who kills penalties and is a faceoff winning machine), samuel bolduc a big young Dman who has a lot of potential and a draft pick for a UFA who is due a lot of money sounds pretty good. If maple leafs ever want a chance of winning they are going to need to get more role players rather than top heavy stars that take up all their cap space

Thread: Doing Nothing

Islanders fans like you are the most annoying fans in all of sports... He acquired what wouldve been the best player in free agency at the deadline. Wahlstrom will be coming back, a healthy Barzal and he will either resign Mayfield or hopefully get an upgrade (also resign engvall or sign a line 2 winger. You m0r0ns forget that he has brought the Islanders to the playoffs in 4 out of his 5 year tenure. Miserable fanbase

Thread: Calgary Garage Sale

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JK74</b></div><div>Every other Isles fan is offering a 2nd with Bailey but you're only offering a 3rd. Hawks walk away from discussions if that 3rd doesn't become a 2nd.</div></div>

Lmaoo notice how you said "every other Isles FAN" . The fans are a lot of times wrong and in this scenario I could see a team taking a 3rd for bailey as his contract is 1 year, he could still be an veteran asset for a young team that needs to get to the cap floor, and he is due less money then his actual cap hit

Thread: This Lou masterclass LMAO

Bo Horvat on the 3rd line?? That most assuredly won't happen. If barzal was on a line with nelson brock would be moved to wing. Wahlstrom isn't a left winger and why wouldnt you use the additional cap space to resign varlamov...

Thread: What yall think canes

If Pesce is available, the Islanders should be all over him. But, yes I don't think he will be available. Ross won't be attached to any picks in order to move him- they can just send him down to the minors and bury his contract if they want it off the books
