I think we have enough prospects that can at least cut it as bottom 6 guys. If not, we can get creative in UFA.

Thread: what is lou even doing

Lou is avoiding bad trades like that. That trade would kneecap our team for a long time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>If that’s our bottom 6 in 23-24 this team is in big trouble</div></div>

Agreed. I think Parise is probably out of gas by next year, we’d probably either give Holmstrom or Dufour a shot or get a depth option out of UFA.

Thread: lgb23

If I’m Lou, I’d do this. It looks fair enough. My question is this: is St. Louis not looking to compete next year? I feel like even if Tank moves on, a trade like this would imply you’re not looking to contend this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewGoalie33</b></div><div>I’m confident that Lou will be able to sign Dobson to a long-term deal worth less than that.

If we get Dobson for that term but less, you will not hear me complain.

Thread: Isles w Kadri and Miller

That deal to Vancouver doesn’t include Barzal, Dobson, 5 1st rounders and UBS Arena. The Canucks hang up immediately before an offer can be made.

Thread: Who Says No

Could work as a three team deal?

NYI gets: Vladimir Tarasenko
Third Party gets: Anthony Beauvillier
STL gets: NYI 1st rounder, Third Party 2nd rounder

EDIT: I feel like the value isn’t perfectly balanced here, as or subtract as needed.

At some point he said he wasn’t planning on moving him. I don’t remember where I heard it, but it pre Draft. I figure to say it’s safe to assume that may have changed.

Thread: Brock Nelson 2C

Interesting idea, but what the Isles need is an elite winger. I’m guessing Colorado has no interest in offloading Rantanen, Landeskog or Nichuskin for Brock.

The only other piece I could see the I shoes wanting would be Toews, but I also feel like Colorado would rightly say no. Cool concept, but what the Isles want isn’t for sale from the Avs.

I agree, just didn’t want to catch crap in the comment section. Damn, I just can’t win today.

I originally thought about proposing Beauvillier, Holmstrom and a 2nd, but I figured that was too little, especially considering the amount being retained.

Thread: What do the islanders do now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeypal</b></div><div>I think Strome might be our guy he’s cheap low risk and high reward, had good points and good analytics last season I could definitely see him in the top 6</div></div>

Honestly, that just feels like acquiring Pageau for the third time. We’ve tried being a depth team that rolls all four lines and smothers teams to death. We still lost twice to a star studded squad, and now half of the playoff teams in the East will be ridiculously star studded. We need to get Barzal some help at some point, and I think there really aren’t any options for that this offseason that don’t involve selling the farm.

I don’t really think that’d do it. I say we see what options we’ll have at the TDL.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 13 at 8:48 p.m.

Thread: What do the islanders do now

With Barzal coming up next year, we’re better off saving Cap space. I don’t see any forwards we can add that really change our chances at a Cup. I think we have a few assets (Varlamov, our 1st rounder) that will be more valuable at the TDL, and that’s where Lou’s at his strongest anyways.

There are deals like the Stromes or Nino that don’t change where we’re at as a team and there are deals like Kadri that make us worse. Really the only signing that would have changed our Cup chances was JG, and he’s a Blue Jacket now. Sometimes the best move is no move.

Thread: Dern it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheWhiteWhale</b></div><div>Nah not gonna but you go after someone Tkachuk maybe and if that doesn’t work sell the deadline cause this roster as is will not make the playoffs with how much better the conference got</div></div>

I doubt Calgary is going to just sell all assets just because Gaudreau left. Their rhetoric hasn’t been a whole lot of catastrophizing, I bet they try to stay relevant, and considering the division they’re in, I don’t blame them. Point is, I’d bet Calgary hangs on to Tkachuk. I certainly would. But even if they do sell on Tkachuk, how many assets would we need to sell for him? I’d bet easily north of Räty, a 1st, a 2nd and Beauvillier.

And honestly, I’d rather miss the playoffs this year than make the next Andrew Ladd signing. I bet we get one or two good years out of Kadri until leaves us with five years of cap hell. With his style of play, he’ll age way too quickly, especially playing Islanders hockey. Let another team get ripped off.

Can’t wait to hear you and other Isles fans bend over backwards explaining why trading more futures for a rental or why offering an aging physical center 8x7 is a great idea. No move is better than a bad move.

All of the best players this draft are forwards. This is a blessing in disguise, we just gotta suffer through this bad year, replace Chara and Greene and we’re back in biz.

If we don’t do the COL deal, the CGY deal would be awesome. Barzal, Monahan, Nelson down the middle with Räty as an eventual replacement would be stacked.
