Thread: Sandin Out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsin4</b></div><div>Would you not look at a future sandin - durzi pairing beneficial with a good young prospect pool?
Kings also have cap space to go out and sign someone potentially</div></div>

Basically Anderson and Doughty are our top pair, Matt Roy is a shut-down RD who would improves everyone he plays with offensively, he basically made stay-at-home Edler look like he had offensive prowess, this is why the Kings will be going hard for a player like Chychrun.

Let's say the Kings moved Roy, you now are forcing Doughty to return to playing more defensively as our strongest shut-down RD with Roy gone. Your second pair becomes Sandin-Walker and your third pair is Bjornfot-Durzi. That is alot of inexperience.

To play Sandin and Durzi (or Walker) as your second pair is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

We are aiming for something like this to be our defensive pairings:

Anderson-Doughty
Chychrun-Roy
Walker-Durzi(or Clarke)

Thread: Trading Some Prospects
That trade doesn't make a ton of sense for the Islanders, beyond the 2023 1st. Holl is a $2M 7th D if you're trading him to a team that already has Ryan Pulock, Noah Dobson, &amp; Scott Mayfield signed next year, and Woll strikes me as an iffy prospect if he couldn't hack it on a team as thirsty for good goaltending as Toronto is.

The package the Isles would most likely push for instead would be a 2nd rounder and someone from your second tier of prospects (Steeves/Abramov/everyone around there.) If you want full retention, I think it's fair to bump the 2nd up to a 1st, or include a 3rd, dealer's choice on that one. If you want the Isles to do you the favor of taking Holl and his $2M off your hands on top of all that, you bump the 2nd to a 1st *and* include the 3rd.
