ARMCHAIR-GM TEAMS

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 29, 2023 at 8:42 p.m.

Thread: offseason

Trying to come up with a reason why the Islanders would entertain that trade.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 25, 2023 at 1:34 p.m.

Thread: save money for Ilya extension

What is the point in adding assets to move cap, when Sorokin isn't an RFA until after next season and you end up with 3.2m in cap space? Them you top it off by signing Klingberg to a 5m contract as a 3rd pairing RD?

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 25, 2023 at 1:31 p.m.

Thread: Its actually my little brother on the keyboard Im not even trying

The Islanders want no part of that trade.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 24, 2023 at 6:21 p.m.

Thread: maybe value

Not nearly enough back for a top pairing RHD, under 30, and signed long term. Islanders pass.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 19, 2023 at 7:23 p.m.

Thread: Barzal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>Barzal is a puzzling player to me, somehow both underrated (plays for a boring team) and overrated (everyone acts like he’s a top-15 talent in the league. He never makes highlight reels, never leads any categories (yes, some of that is the Islanders system, but doesn’t even lead in rate stats), doesn’t elevate his linemates and indeed often plays wing to Nelson. Is it because he’s pretty and fast? 3OA for him would be a ridiculous overpayment.</div></div>

Never makes highlight reels?

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 19, 2023 at 8:35 a.m.

Thread: What they SHOULD do

Why would the Islanders entertain this when they can just buy out Josh Bailey? Even if the cost to dump him is a 2nd rounder... Jack Rathbone is not worth Dufour and a 4th rounder. Not on this planet.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 28, 2023 at 3:55 p.m.

Thread: Long term Focus

"The Islanders need a rebuild, so naturally they should trade away their best young player for peanuts"

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 28, 2023 at 3:52 p.m.

Thread: Isles

Josh Bailey is easily bought out, and the Islanders don't need $5m in cap. They will not be sending out draft picks to get rid of him.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 25, 2023 at 8:06 p.m.

Thread: If we keep the core four

Why in Gods green hell are the Islanders making that trade?

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 21, 2023 at 4:09 p.m.

Thread: Mayfield

I'm an Islander fan and I love Scott Mayfield.

If he's deployed as your #1 RHD, you're in deep doo-doo.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 13, 2023 at 12:06 p.m.

Thread: Isles Need To Get Younger

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItsTheCracken</b></div><div>Islanders are in a horrible spot age/cap wise. Idk how they even go about fixing it. The oldest and most expensive roster full of complete mid on this earth.</div></div>

The Islanders aren't the oldest, nor are they the most expensive... they aren't even really in such a bad spot. Everything else you said was spot on though.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 30, 2023 at 5:26 p.m.

Thread: Shrug

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 29, 2023 at 10:01 a.m.

Thread: Lets Fix Things

Why give up anything for another team to take Bailey when he's easily bought out? Trading JGP just creates another hole that isn't easily filled. Justin Braun retired.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 1, 2023 at 9:27 p.m.

Thread: where do we think Lou goes from here

I think he's done adding up front... the Islanders need a LHD to pair with Dobson in a bad way. A veteran defensive LHD on an expiring contract that pushes Aho down the depth chart.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 1, 2023 at 7:04 p.m.

Thread: 23-24

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Sabres are trading a 40 goals scorer in division to a team that's chasing them for a player who hasn't broken 20 points in a season and is currently on IR. Doesn't make sense for Buffalo either. Sabres have younger forward prospects that could beat him in development, even after all of those trades</div></div>

Who is the 40 goal scorer? How about Josh Bailey instead? A 70+ point player with playoff experience? He's actually scored 70+ points in a season too.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 16, 2023 at 6:24 p.m.

Thread: Fifferent

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Not_Isles5513</b></div><div>The Islanders aren’t going to trade Pelech for a guy who costs twice as much as he does, when he isn’t even half as good.</div></div>

And he isn't even much younger (6 months).

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 2, 2023 at 10:48 a.m.

Thread: Thoughts before deadline

No one wants Andersson. The Islanders didn't want him at the draft, they aren't going to want him at the deadline. Give it up already.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 1, 2023 at 6:52 p.m.

Thread: Glide

The Islanders didn't think Burroughs was worth a 5th rounder when they drafted him the first time.

Forum: Armchair-GMDec. 20, 2022 at 5:41 p.m.

Thread: Revamped D core

I once dreamt that a man-sized rat was chasing me around my neighborhood throwing pizza at me.

That dream is more realistic than the Islanders trading Noah Dobson for this package.

Forum: Armchair-GMDec. 20, 2022 at 5:34 p.m.

Thread: Swinnys offseason

Cap space is the least of the Islanders concerns... I'd argue that their cap space is an asset right now. Even if it were, trading Panik wouldn't help anyway as his cap hit is only $250k.

Forum: Armchair-GMDec. 14, 2022 at 5:46 p.m.

Thread: Meier and the men Boeser and the boys

I just don't see Boeser being a fit with the Islanders. He needs to play in front of the net on the PP to be effective and Anders Lee already has that spot on lock.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov. 6, 2022 at 6:43 p.m.

Thread: connor bedard leading the youth influx in montreal

If anyone was willing to give a first for Anderson, it would have happened. The Islanders were never in on Anderson, and they were never giving up a 1st for him. I thought this Habs fan fever dream was over, but alas.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov. 6, 2022 at 6:40 p.m.

Thread: Sorry Muzz

Why would the Islanders make this trade? (They wouldn't)

Forum: Armchair-GMNov. 6, 2022 at 10:48 a.m.

Thread: Darkest Timeline

I'd do this from an NYI perspective

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 16, 2022 at 6:50 p.m.

Thread: Adds before deadline

I especially like how you put Nurse over Pelech. It adds to the overall humor of the post.
