Thread: Deadline Deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItsBlowTime</b></div><div>That's a fair point on Del Zotto.

I feel like Edler would be good for Colorado though. He can eat a lot of minutes (for now) and provide at the very least, a more steady top 4 for the playoffs this season and, if he chooses to resign, a bit of a stop-gap while the Avs wait for Makar, Timmins, and Girard to really take the next step and become regular NHL defensemen.
He's a UFA and won't make 5mil again so the cap problems could be mitigated with a 2- year contract.

As for Sutter, it's my opinion that the young guns for Colorado (Kerfoot, Compher, and Jost) would be more suited for the wing until they can show they're responsible throughout all 200ft of the ice, and Sutter is a leader, Pk, and faceoff guy to kind of show the way, I'd be willing to eat a bit of his salary as well. Hell, I'd take on 50% of both salaries if it makes the deal go through.</div></div>

I think he is a good 200ft ice player however I'm not certain Colorado would take his Leadership role talents into consideration being as they already have a really good Leadership group in Colorado right now. As for Edler it might be difference in opinion I think the cap isn't helpful to them, but at the same time might be a good guy for filling out top 4 so fair point there.

Thread: Retooling since Panarin and Bobrovsky seem to be walking
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>I get your point, but I don't really see CBJ trading Bobrovsky to a team that could very well re-sign him for rental value. If it was for a certain playoff team with goalie problems but semi low cap, then sure, they'd probably pull it, but NYI doesn't really fit in that description - they have a load of cap left and they're fighting for a playoff spot. From a team like that, who might want to get strengthening in order to get to the playoffs, they could demand a higher price. This added to the fact that NYI is a division rival of CBJ, so it would make it even more likely for them to demand a little more than just a rental price...</div></div>

I do think that there are other teams in the Market that would be better fit as a trade partner for Bobrovsky imo. I just don't think 1 NYI you could benefit from being as this would only hurt the actual team, and 2 they are of course division rivals. I think maybe you can get away with trading him to Carolina, but in all likeliness would they ever give the fair value for Bobrovsky? I would think not so I think if he goes it's going to be in a Western Conference Team.

That's why I was saying maybe add a conditional pick or conditional picks just for if NYI does re-sign him.

Thread: Retooling since Panarin and Bobrovsky seem to be walking
Looking at it I don't know if this is ever going to make sense for New York Islanders. A solid scorer they need for a push. If they are going to get a goalie it is probably going to be Bobrovsky, but I don't think he extends for a dime under 10 Million he wants to have that Price type contract which fair enough, but I don't know if he deserves that, and I just don't think they will want to give up a guy like Eberle who is contributing with 19 in 38 right now. I think they would want to pay rental value for him instead because it would let them be able to have the chance of re-signing him, but it wouldn't hurt them as much to make the deal if it was for a year, and maybe they can think about re-signing him at the end of the year. Maybe with a Pick Condition on the trade just for extra value.
