Thread: Persuading Tavares to stay
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alwaysnextyear</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Watty1</b></div><div>Vancouver makes that trade in a second. Finally, someone who recognizes Tanev's value!</div></div>

I think this would be a smart play for both teams. Van gets the better futures, and the Isles upgrade their current D dramatically. Actually I think that overall the Isles would be making out like bandits on the three trades; basically it would be swapping out

Strome &lt; Eberle
Hamonic &lt; Tanev
Barzal &lt; 1st, 2nd, 4th round picks

They'll have added three picks and upgraded their RW and D.</div></div>

Barzal is worth way more than a 1st, 2nd and 4th especially when you consider the 1st will be 17th or later

Thread: Duchene one last time - seriously take it or leave it. COMMENTS?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IslesFan9</b></div><div>Islanders lose the rights to Sorkin after this season and he would become a FA and free to sign with anyone. With his 3 year extension in the KHL his NHL rights have no value. Dal Colle, a few picks and a b level prospect isn't enought for Duchene.</div></div>

They have through summer 2018 to sign. We'll see, I wouldn't completely rule out the Varlamov connection as discussed. But even AFTER the news broke about his CSKA extension the Avs were rumored to want him.</div></div>

<strong>Wrong</strong> they retain his rights until he is 27 years old similar to how Kirril Petrov was Islanders property forever

Thread: Kovy/Chucky/Alzner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>I do like the creativity on the Blue Jackets-Habs deal.<strong> Dubious had a great year in the Q </strong>and although he can play left wing, he has the size to most likely remain at center if, like all young centermen, he can improve on faceoffs and his defensive game. Does anyone know if Vegas needs to get to the cap floor for their first season, or are they exempt for 1 year? I wasn't sure about that. If the need to reach the floor, then your deal with Vegas definitely makes some sense, but that's a heck of a lot of money to take on for the additional prize of a mid-level prospect. Finally, your numbers are a bit off for some of your free agents, most notable Kovalchu and Alzner, which would still cause problems for your team's cap.</div></div>

Um what Dubois had an incredibly underwhelming year in the Q and is looking like a bust
