Thread: mayfield for johnsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div>If Noah Dobson is finally here to stay in the NHL, they may consider something like that.

Isles have their own cap concerns to deal with in the summer. Having a guy like Mayfield and his salary and term is a good thing.

I think that Johnsson for Mayfield is a pretty fair deal TBH. I just don't see Mayfield as a top pairing guy thats all.</div></div>

You would be happy with Mayfield as a 2nd pairing D-Man, really happy with him as a 3rd pairing guy, but he is not a 1st pairing guy. I say this as an Isles fan who likes Mayfield but tries to realistically value him, as stay at home D first guys are typically not as valued too high.

Johnsson and a 3rd for Mayfield would probably be fair value but there are a few things for the Isles that would stop them from making the trade. Right now the Isles have too many LW on the roster and unless they can move some out Johnsson would be a nice to have but not a need. If there is a CBO this trade becomes more interesting as the Isles could CBO Ladd and send Uncle Leo in a trade with Mayfield for TML to CBO. The only reason that I did not include Boychuck is if Mayfield is traded the Isles would need Boychuck.

Right now I do not think a straight up trade works for the Isles, but depending upon what happens with CBO's and the salary cap this could be something that is discussed.
