It's too bad the Islanders have $15 million tied up in Boychuk, Clutterbuck, Komarov and Hickey (in addition to Ladd).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>I agree parise is still a useful player and the trade made sense before the deadline - the trade was more about getting rid of Ladd than acquiring parise. The cap won’t go up and it’s likely there will be a compliance buyout, so there’s no point in trading for Parise unless the wild retain 50% salary (which they won’t do). Isles have to sign barzal , pulock, and toews this summer and pelech (5+ mill) , beauvillier (4+ ) and sorokin (who knows) next summer.</div></div>

Cizikas and a $1.5M cap rise should take care of Pelech, but it will require finally getting rid of the Boychuk and Hickey contracts to make the rest of it work.

Thread: A few new faces

Zach Parise is still a useful player and can win you an occasional game or two, whereas Andrew Ladd can't, and he and Tyler Johnson have no-trade clauses which they are highly unlikely to waive, and Tampa Bay is looking to reduce their cap, so exchanging one 5 million dollar player for another doesn't achieve that, and Bailey is better than Johnson in any event (in my opinion). So each of those trades is going to leave one team unhappy even if they were possible.

I also didn't think Benning carries this much value? MarJo should cost more, maybe the value equivalent to a 2nd or 3rd more.</div></div>

Except that Johansson is on an expiring contract, and Benning is a RFA.

Thread: Buyout FA Fun

I really like what you've created here. This is clearly a team that can compete with St Louis and Colorado and certainly on a par with the better teams in the Pacific Division. The issue is whether Stastny, Turris and Vlasic can perform at a reasonable level. (The first may be academic because Las Vegas may not buy him out.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>If Brady Skjei can get a return of a 1st rd pick with 5 years left on his contract (he was a replacement level defenseman this season) the islanders can get a 2nd or 3rd rd pick for Leddy.

Give some thought to Vancouver, too. Edler and Benn expire after next season and Fantenberg expires this June. It's not unreasonable.

Thread: Question from Sabres fan

I think that your trade is well thought out and right on value in isolation, but with Koivu on the verge of retirement and Rask no better than a #3C, the trade leaves Minnesota without a #1C <strong>OR</strong> a #2C.

Yeah, but Benson is in the "Not For Sale" category -- CapFriendly rule #2: you can't trade away a hometown boy.

Thread: up For sale or not

You should have little trouble getting a fourth for Matthew Benning. Depth RhD's are hard to find.

Thread: The Young and the Rested

The Islanders won't have that much trouble re-signing Barzal, Pulock and Toews but they won't be able to re-up Greiss, so they aren't under pressure to dump Mayfield and his modest hit.

Both SoCal teams would offer a second for Mayfield. I've included him in posts for the Kings and the Ducks and Toronto going back to last summer. Other teams needing good depth RD's like Las Vegas and Winnipeg would be interested, too.

Thread: The Young and the Rested

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Sure Cirelli is leaving cheap taxed Florida for high taxed California, Probably have to offer him closer to $8 million per for him to sign it.</div></div>

Your comment would be accurate if the Tampa offer were $5 million or more. But all the Tampa guys keep insisting that Cirelli can be signed for $3.75 million or less. So the question is, would Cirelli prefer $3.75 million in low-tax Florida or $6.3 million in high-tax, extremely-high-cost-of-housing-and-living California? I'm not saying I have the right answer, but you should be careful how you frame the issue. (Personally, I think the housing element is much more important financially than the tax ramifications. Housing is even more expensive in Northern California than it is here in Southern California.)

How about karlsson and a 1st for One of the Tavares Matthews or Marner contracts?
Open to negotiate but we’re not sending 2 1st a great D on. A terrible contract and a stud top 6 center on a good contract for one great forward on a terrible contract.</div></div>

I'm collecting them. So far I've also got some variant of "definitely" changed to "defiantly" (as in "I would defiantly trade x for y") and "interest" for "insert" (as in "We have no insert for him").

If that offer doesn't work, you can try Karlsson, Hertl and two firsts for Tavares.

Thread: OFFER ME A TRADE

You can't trade the seventh overall 2020 first.

But if you lose your mind and put it on the table, we'll take it off for Adam Henrique and the Boston first. If you get bumped down to ninth, it changes to our own second.

Remember Ric's reason for coming to Casablanca?

The idea that Los Angeles would give away those precious draft picks to get rid of players they are under no pressure to move is hilariously . . . misinformed.

Thread: 20202021

I think you're unfamiliar with some of the players currently on the San Diego roster, but who will be back with the big club next season: Troy Terry goes in the spot where you have Nic Deslauriers (who plays exclusively at LW), and we won't need to sign Nathan Beaulieu because Jacob Larsson and Josh Mahura can capably fill the 6/7 defenseman slot.
