Thread: Kadri to NYI

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RichardAvs</b></div><div>How in the world do you guys have a mystery deal already signed for Kadri, but will keep all you're centers? Doesn't add up. Why spend 7mill plus on a 3rd line center?</div></div>

Nelson can play wing or maybe Barzal could move to wing considering faceoffs and defense aren't his calling cards.

Thread: maybe question mark

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianfan543</b></div><div>Is bellows not good anymore? I swear he has just filled the net all the way up to this point</div></div>

He's a bad skater, isn't very physical, doesn't have playmaking ability, and lacks defensive awareness. He just kinda shoots the puck when he gets it which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but he's generally struggled to get actual dangerous shots.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsRSus</b></div><div>Wasn't his partner Aho who's 3rd pair?</div></div>

Aho has only played 3 games the past 3 years lol. Mayfield has been paired with Toews/Leddy the past 2 years and plays 19-20 minutes a night during the regular season and 20+ during the playoffs. Dobson has been the 3rd pair right D.

Thread: Ready to Roll

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>horse430</b></div><div>Is it a gamble? Yes. And I get Isles fans being cautious. But what if it does work out and he's a 30 goal scorer again. Beau may be too valuable in your eyes and that's fine, but after losing eberle, I think they need a goal scorer to compete, and if that only costs you a guy who has yet to reach the 20 goal mark in his career and the 40 point mark (yes I am aware that is a bit skewed with the past 56 game schedule) allowing you to clear roster space for bellows and Wahlstrom, plus add a guy who could be a point per game player in vladdy (health allowing) I would do it.</div></div>

Re-signing Palmieri would be the move to replace Eberle's goal scoring. A Tarasenko trade would be a move the Isles make to add icing on the cake.

Trading a 24 year old cost controlled winger that scores at good rates in the playoffs and has been on 21 and 26 goal paces the past 2 seasons doesn't make sense for the Isles period. Let alone for like 6 extra goals IF Tarasenko is able to stay healthy. Not to mention the fact that Vlad would probably be walking at the end of the 2 years anyway because Barzal, Pulock, Mayfield, Dobson, and Wahlstrom will be expiring within the next 2 years.

Suter is already making a ton regardless of what he does because of the buyout so I really don't see him chasing the money and knowingly going to a team that is just going to trade him away again in a couple months. Just sign the cheaper deal with a contender and get used to the system and your teammates rather than spend months on a team you know you're not going to hang around.

Ladd is healthy. He just sucks and isn't even worth playing for your AHL team.

Pretty sure trading a player back to the team you just acquired them from is not allowed, have to wait a full calendar year or something.

Thread: Fitz with the green light

Ladd is healthy and not going on LTIR just so you know. If a team trades for him he's pretty much gonna sit in the AHL taking up cap until his contract ends.

Thread: time is a flat circle

The reason Isles fans are going to say the Blues are going to need to retain is because the Isles can't take more cap on. This trade adds over 3 million on the Isles side, so even if the deal were to be fair value it literally can not be done without retention.

Thread: Just a few ideas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>As an islanders fan im not really interested in tarasenko both bc of cap and price, but this trade looks pretty interesting. Would you do it if it was salo or bolduc instead of wilde.</div></div>

I don't think the Isles would do it if it was Salo or Bolduc. Wilde hasn't put up much production at the AHL level, to the point that Isles beat-writers have asked around the league and been told by execs of other teams that his value has tanked. Plus, the Isles have their right side pretty much locked up for the foreseeable future with Pulock, Dobson, and Mayfield while spots on the left may be open for Bolduc or Salo as soon as next year.

Thread: Red Wings offseason

Isles aren't paying to get rid of Leddy. Regardless of the cap crunch Leddy is a a 40+ point dman that can skate with the best. His price will certainly be reduced because of the cap but not to the point where the Isles will be the ones paying. He's essentially buy low and flip at the deadline for a team like Detroit, not a cap dump.

Thread: Wild Offseason

If Ladd is going on LTIR why would the Isles trade him for a declining player on a larger and longer contract? They could just throw him on LTIR themselves and call it a day.

Thread: Sell Them All Off and Help Other Teams

Boychuk is on LTIR for the rest of his contract so there's no reason to trade him at a loss. Tampa literally <strong>paid</strong> Ottawa for LTIR contracts last season.

Thread: Defensive Swap and Reinhart

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>1. I wish we could have 2 barzals
2. I hope that 2nd barzy was meant to be wahlstrom bc he should be on the pp.

3. And this is my main point. Pulock should not be quaterbacking a pp. I dont mind if hes on it as a 2nd dman bc of his shot but hes not a good enough puck MOVER to be the primary qb on a pp.</div></div>

Yea, was meant to be Wahlstrom. I think Pulock could be fine quarterbacking the PP, he's really never gotten the shot to do it because they always have him shooting one timers wide. The threat of his shot up top would probably give him a bit of space to pass. If all else fails the Isles do have Bolduc, Salo, or Aho who could take Greene's spot and could be QB's

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>I think it would be interesting to bring him back. The thing is who is gonna run the 2nd pp then.</div></div>

Barzal - Lee - Wahlstrom - Eberle - Dobson 1st unit

Pageau - Bailey - Beauvillier - Nelson - Pulock 2nd unit

Agreed. Seems like a smarter plan of action to buy those 2 out, get the ~3m in cap space, and then let someone like Leddy go to Seattle for free. Saves like 8.5m in cap while costing no picks or prospects
