Thread: Revamp top 6

Why would the Islanders trade a second to take Bailey just for you to buy him out? We could do the same thing.

Thread: Stay the course

One thing that is glossed over with Josh Bailey is the real money he is owed. He is only owed 3.5 Mill on the 5 mill cap hit. This definitely makes his contract more moveable/more palpable for a team like the Blackhawks to take on. Not to mention that Chicago will need to hit the cap floor. (Not saying they won't) That being said I could see the package to get rid of him being less than a 2nd.

Thread: future years

I'd say yes if I were the Islanders (Lou) but would they say yes realistically no.

That extra fluff for Ian Mitchell is not worth it for the Islanders. Ian Mitchell has done absolutely nothing to be worth a 4th (Conditional 3rd)

Thread: Thoughts on this trade with NYI

Flames can keep Toffoli. Islanders already have too many RW/C even with Wahlstrom being injured. Barzal will play on the wing with Horvat. Also, no need to give you a first for a 30+-year-old winger, who is having a career year.

Is that 2nd to acquire Parise or is it to dump Foegle? Cause that ain't enough to do both.

Arthur Staple is a bum. F*ck that guy.

Thread: DNVR - RMR

Islanders counter Makar for a 3rd and Ross Johnston. Mayfield is worth more than a late 6th and a garbage LD.

Thread: If life was perfect

No incentive for the Islanders unless they get rid of Mayfield but that would kinda be counterintuitive.

If the Islanders are not in a playoff position, yes. If they are, probably not.

Thread: Blues into next season missed playoffs 2022-2023

It would be silly for the Islanders team, who might not make the playoffs themselves, to trade their top wing prospect a 1st rounder and a cost-controlled winger for a 31-year-old rental. Especially one who can't seem to stay healthy. If they are going to trade those assets they will go after a Meier or Kuzmenko.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 7 at 9:20 p.m.

Thread: CBC316

Mayfield will require more. He's cheap and can play top 4 min. Islanders are also set at LD with prospects (Salo, Bolduc, Odelius, etc).

Forum: Armchair-GMDec. 30, 2022 at 10:21 p.m.

Thread: Best Team

Islanders Decline. Mike Hoffman doesn't help the Islanders at all. They have enough old bottom-six wingers. The 5th and Kovacevic are worthless. Islanders already have Pulock, Dobson, and Mayfield on RD.

Forum: Fauteuil - DGDec. 26, 2022 at 10:57 p.m.

Thread: Team Fix

Exactly what the Islanders want to do is take on an older, more expensive winger with even more term. Oh not to mention a guy that is worse than Beauvillier. Great trade! ... Sike

Thread: Either a buyout or a wild and crazy time

Trouba has a full NMC for this season and next season then a 15 team in 2024-25 and 12 teams in 25-26. Rangers are stuck with their "cApTaIn" for at least another year. Even if he didn't have any trade protection a 2nd rounder a year from now for a 8 mill defender for 3 more years is hilarious. It took a 2nd and a conditional 2nd/3rd to get rid of Patrick Nemeth.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov. 26, 2022 at 4:06 p.m.

Thread: Sell Sell Sell

The Islanders have arguably the deepest center depth in the league. (Barzal, Nelson, Pageau, Cizikas) Why would they want Towes? They would be interested in Kane.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov. 22, 2022 at 4:33 p.m.

Thread: Injury bug

That is awful value for Mayfield. You are NOT getting Mayfield, a fringe top 4 RD, for a mid to late 2nd rounder in 2 years and an LD prospect. We already have Salo and Bolduc who are better than Kral.

Thread: Playoff Performer

What benefit does this serve the Islanders? They are not rebuilding.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov. 13, 2022 at 1:02 a.m.

Thread: Last Chance w Matthews

Islanders are not trading Dobson. Yes, the Islanders need a 1st line winger to play with Barzal but those are easier to find in free agency than a top RD. Also if they trade Dobson they would have 2 giant whole on RD come the off-season. (Dobson and Mayfield)

Thread: Shaking the core

Islanders decline.

Alex DeBrincat was traded to Ottawa for a 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd. Marner might be better but not a bonified 1 RD on a team-friendly deal for 7 more years. A top/middle six LW and a promising young RW better. The Holl, Malgin, 5th Round pick part is all window dressing, there is little to no value in any of those pieces.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leaffanio</b></div><div>Team is old, they'll realize this when they miss the playoffs again and are forced into a retool/rebuild.

The Islanders average age is 28.23. The Toronto Maple Leafs average ....... 28.23. tHe iSlAnDeRs ArE oLd. The Islanders were super old because they had Chara and Greene on their roster. Hopefully, you guys can figure it out soon or Matthews will pull a Tavares. Get sick of not winning and scurry off to another city.

Thread: Tightening up the cap and getting some depth

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Even if he's only going to be a 6th/7th D, I don't really hate this for the Islanders. There's really not a ton of depth currently in the system, and while Reilly would be a pricey guy as a healthy scratch, having reliable depth is something the team was missing last season. As it stands right now, the first guys up beyond the presumptive top 6 D are Aho & Grant Hutton - not exactly an incredibly hopeful pair.</div></div>

Yes, pricey but I think Reilly would take the 3rd LD spot over Salo.
