Thread: 2021-22 New York Islanders
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UBS_ARENA</b></div><div>Pittsburgh and washington? No. Those are 2 teams I think we beat. Carolina I think has a chance (tho I don't like Freddie so idk) the islanders, Philly's gonna be really good (if hart gets back to being Carter hart) and the rangers could surprise. Wsh and pit are both getting older and have been losing big pieces. I dont believe in pits goaltending and Wsh doesnt look like they will be that good.</div></div>

I respect your opinion, but I'm going to have to disagree. Pittsburgh and Washington are both aging sure, but Washington looks the exact same as last year. However they get Mantha for the full season now. And I like the guys Pittsburgh added, Heinen, McGinn, etc. The Islanders are going to be good and will most likely win this division to make it to the ECF x3 when it comes to the playoffs. But I hvae them finishing 3rd. Carolina imo got worse, especially their goaltending. I also don't like them losing Hamilton and Bean in their defense. Philly did get better, but like you said, Hart needs to get back to be Hart. And I don't like the Rangers goaltending, especially if Grigoriev leaves in the Eichel trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Well for starters it seems you angered wings fans which is funny because I do happen to agree with you to an extent. I wouldn’t offer them that kass just had a down year he still serves an important role on the team. I’d keep him play him back with mcdavid slide jp down with Leon and yam on the third line to try and create more balanced scoring threwout line up. Kass might be overpaid can’t argue that but talking a 3.5 million dollar deal not 5-6 million it’s really not horrible just slightly inflated oilers can live with that.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mm1010</b></div><div>I don’t expect you to at all. In this case the oilers aren’t going to give up a 1st or a Holloway or Bouchard to move cap. Most teams won’t. They will either buyout like Holland said he would. Or trade and retain part of the cap hit for mid late round picks…

They still like Kassian and won’t move him</div></div>

I can't see Yzerman going up to his boss and saying "I'm going to spend roughly $7M of your money for multiple seasons in exchange for an asset that is unlikely to be a difference maker in the NHL. The players we're taking on aren't in areas of need or difference makers either."
Honestly, both teams are better off not trading with each other. Edmonton isn't in complete cap hell, and Detroit doesn't need more expensive, aging players on their roster.
