Thread: Realistic Deadline moves - minor ones

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>He's waiver fodder. He's been on waivers twice in the last calendar year. You guys literally acquired him off waivers. He's a 7D at best on a good team because he's a one dimensional D and that dimension is not defense. He's not worth anything. Especially not to a playoff team.</div></div>

I am not sure if he is worth a 3rd rounder but he had been a good 3rd paring guy especially under Roy. Roy was originally going to alternate him and Bolduc but he won the spot outright which proves he is a solid defender. I think he has among the most shots as a defender per game when he plays so he at least provides some offense.

Yeah that’s a good point. I think Lou probably asks them in the next week or so if they want to chase a cup. If they want to he will accommodate it otherwise they stay. I actually think Clutter has another year with another team. I do agree Martin probably retires and joins the organization like Boychuck.

Thread: Realistic Deadline moves - minor ones

I think your approach of minor moves at the deadline is logical. I personally would keep Reily for another season. He has been really good on the 3rd pair and would give bolduc time to develop, as I think he will be good. Only thing I would do as well is trade either Martin or Clutterbuck as they could fetch a late pick. Additionally Maclean was a solid option when in nhl and I want to see him get a longer audition.

Thread: Selling at deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>I think this is realistic in the players that will or should be more at the deadline

The price, debatable, they just need to be moved

Offseason, big moves should be made - Nelson, Lee, Engvall, Mayfield and Pelech.</div></div>
That’s the way I approached this team. I think trading the guys on expiring contracts would help start the retool. Big moves need to happen this offseason and I am confident they will with Roy.

Nice team! I think you might be missing a few players though. I am pretty sure Jake Walman and Josh Bloom are jewish as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawkisles</b></div><div>I disagree with that. Even with a rental Top 6 addition, no way we make it past Washington and Tampa this year.

Honestly I am not sure who with term would get us past Tampa. I would love to dump a contract during the deadline. If they don’t get rid of a contract I don’t want it to prevent signing the free agents.

Thread: Deadline move

Personally as an Islanders fan I don’t like either of these trades. I agree they need to make a deadline move but I think a rental is the best move.

Thread: Islanders

I don’t expect any of these trades as an Islanders fan. Dobson is going to be a star and is untouchable. I would be fine with trading Wilde in the right trade but not with a first. 2 2nd rounders is an extremely high price in my opinion.

I would be interested in Palmieri if Lee is out for the rest of the season but that price is extremely high.

Thread: Rounding the Corner

As an Islanders fan I would perfer if you took Hickey as oposed to Clutterbuck. Clutterbuck is a good 4th liner so I would hope to keep him. I think Hickey can be an NHL defenseman but the Islanders already have 6 good defensmen.

Thread: Deadline

As a Islanders fan I like getting Demers but Arizona would need to take on salary or retain money to make it work. For taking salary would you take Thomas Hickey’s contract?

I totally agree! I think it is crazy he is still with the team. Today they lost 1-0 but gave up close to 40 shots!! That is not close to Islanders hockey and he should be let go.

I am really happy he signed with the Islanders. He has done well in the SHL. Hopefully he does the same in the NHL/AHL next year.

Thread: Would NYI do this

As a Islanders fan no chance they trade Pulock. He is untouchable even if the team is not doing well. The only defenseman I can see them trading is Hickey.

Thread: accountability

I think you have to put someone else in for Komorov. Trotz probably wanted to give this lineup a second chance to build chemistry. The Bellows-Pageau-Wahlstrom line has been great. Dobson as well. I read Trotz will make changes for tomorrow so hopefully that is one. I know he Mentioned Sorokin will start so putting Komorov on the taxi squad should be good for the cap. Also the team needs to work on 3 on 3. They were good for 2 periods but have not played 3 on 3 for while and it showed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>its embarrassing that trotz felt the need to dress a million 4th liners, again.

In my eyes they had 4 4th liners they should take out Leo and put in any of the guys mentioned.
