Thread: Last attempt before FA

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>The jets probably want Wilde not bellows</div></div>

Wilde has a MUCH higher ceiling than Stanley. Stanley seems pretty set as a depth guy and Wilde’s ceiling is a top 4 pp qb. If the Jets want Wilde for Stanley, Isles should decline.

Thread: Seattle Kraken signed Alexander Wennberg (3 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)

Depth at center is always a good thing, especially considering how little depth Seattle has there. A bit of overpayment, but he’s not old enough nor is the contract long enough for this to be considered a “dangerous” signing.

Thread: TarasenkoParise

Beauvillier is a core piece. If St Louis insists on getting a lot back for Tarasenko, let some other team get ripped off.

Thread: No Landy

Isles will have plenty of space for a move at the TDL this way. I agree, Isles shouldn’t make a move for the sake of making a move, that’s how we ended up with Ladd.

Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Gabriel Landeskog (8 Years / $7,000,000 AAV)

Landy could have gotten more elsewhere, definite win fir Colorado here.

Thread: Isles signings and trades

Saad is the next Laad, just give the spot to Parise or Golyshev. We can use that cap space to make a move at the TDL

Thread: Isles priorities tomorrow

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Im_islesforthecup</b></div><div>Suter and palmieri are the next ladds. Suter wanting 4 years is outrageous, and with the amount of left shot 2nd pairing defenseman available, not interested in suter at all unless its at 1-2x1.5 or under.</div></div>

I’d be fine with a 3 year deal, but I agree, Isles need to be careful about signing Suter. As for Palmieri, I’m also worried, he didn’t look good at all this regular season. But if the contract is short enough, I could live with it.

That said, I’d prefer we sign neither, get Landeskog and worry about filling the 2nd pairing slot later. It’ll be a long offseason, we’ll have time to find someone or decide which LD prospect should get the roster spot. Bolduc and Salo both look like NHL material.

Forum: Armchair-GMTue at 5:02 pm

Thread: lou magic

Weird lines, and Suter will be more expensive than that. That said, if the Isles play it conservatively this offseason and leave 6 million in cap space for the TDL, I’d be a-okay with that. If the right guy isn’t there, Lou shouldn’t make a move for the sake of making one.

Thread: Recent rumors

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Cizikas is asking for 5M</div></div>

From Seattle. It’s likely he told them that as a polite way of saying “no”

Thread: Hopefully not a repeat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Im_islesforthecup</b></div><div>He has 2 years left and then hes an rfa but if he takes the QO he'll be a ufa the next offseason.</div></div>

If that happens, there’ll be time to get a sign and trade arranged.

Just remember this: Snow’s not GM anymore. We have Lou now, he won’t let us get fleeced by someone in our own locker room again.

Instead, just look at this and enjoy:

Beauvillier-Barzal-Wahlstrom
Lee-Raty-Holmstrom

The future is bright!

Thread: Players Asking Price

If we can talk Pelech down to 6m aav, I can live with that. Cizikas is too far off, he’s asking double what he should be getting. I’d hate to see him walk, but we can’t afford our 4th line to somehow get more expensive.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul 25 at 12:08

Thread: Hopefully not a repeat

Isn’t Barzal an RFA? And therefore couldn’t walk without the Islanders getting something in return for him leaving by trading his negotiation rights?

Agreed, but with a late 2nd rounder, that’s the kind of risk you ought to take

I think Voracek is the better player and could be the player he used to be, but why would Columbus do this trade now? They aren’t exactly making moves to win now.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul 22 at 1:40

Thread: Isles 7-20-21

That is waaay too much to shed Hickey. Hell, that’s comparable to what we gave up to offload Ladd. If Komarov were in the mix there, it’d make a lot more sense for the Isles.

I hear ya, but the Isles keep swinging and missing on the big fish. If a million in overpay is what finally gets Barzal his elusive finisher, I think that’s worth it.

Thread: Everything goes perfectly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>islandersfan14</b></div><div>this would be amazing, just give Pelech like 6 years instead. I actually really hope this happens</div></div>

A 5x6 contract would be better, but if giving Pelech full term is what gets his contract down to 5m aav, I’d say it’s worth it.

Thread: Everything goes perfectly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>That is a lot for Landeskog</div></div>

True, but it’d put Landy out of reach for everyone else. He’s a point per game player that would fit in Trotz’ system and would make the Isles’ offense go from “good” to “scary”

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheWhiteWhale</b></div><div>I agree it’s just everyone being infatuated with Landeskog screams something to me maybe I’m wrong but I could 100% see this being more of a parise-forsberg/tarasenko(one of the leaks of referring to)-suter/Martinez situation than just landeskog but I really don’t know lol I need to see what sort of side deal they made with Seattle before I say anything cause I don’t think it’s just ebs going</div></div>

With St. Louis continuing to struggle to offload Tarasenko, I don’t really see a competitor for Landy other than the Isles and the Avs. Not that I would mind getting Parise, Forsberg and Suter, I just think pursuing Landy is too in character for Lou. There aren’t many other contenders with the cap space to give Landy an offer, and the Isles still really need a winger for Barzal.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul 21 at 4:07

Thread: Lou goes for it II

I’d be surprised if Suter got that kind of contract. Buyouts do not help your value. I also wouldn’t see a Parise/Suter offseason as “going for it”, if anything, this is a conservative offseason in light of the cap Lou managed to shed.
