Thread: All aboard my dumb train

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheWhiteWhale</b></div><div>Understandable like the additions of Russians idk if it does anything for Sorokin but I obviously know nothing about these guys lives.. I like the basis, a lot of my rationale is the idea of a trade for a young-younger dman making Salo expendable to package in a big trade like Debrincat/Fiala/WPG guy/etc.</div></div>

Oh the reason is Sorokin played with Nichushkin in the KHL. Zadarov and Lyubushkin have played with Nichushkin for world juniors. It’s just about the support structure imo. With Russians you kind of have to fight fire with fire to get the most out of them lmao.

All good my guy. I’ve been debating making an ACGM where Isles add Nuke, Zadarov and Lyubushkin while moving Varly, but I can’t find a realistic way to do it. Whole basis for my idea is that Lou is gonna end up targeting Russians who know Sorokin to keep isles star tendy happy.

Thread: All aboard my dumb train

Not sure if Winnipeg getting to all out fire sale, will be interesting though if enough guys get shipped out, I’m sure ehlers and Connor start questioning sticking around. Glad Connor finally getting some love with lady byning, probably one of the quietest 47 goal season in a while.

I dont see how this helps Boston. Bailey doesn't fill any holes and would cost another $2 million in cap space.

I think they trade Boeser only if they get a good young RHD coming back tbh. Otherwise they'll likely sign him and hope he can regain his form after the very tough year he had on a personal level.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewGoalie33</b></div><div>It’s really good value but I think the Isles keep Barzal. If that trade was accepted I wouldn’t be mad though</div></div>

It would be a terrible trade for the isles. Hanifin will be a UFA in 2 years, Zary is a B prospect , and Dube is a middle 6 winger. Trading Barzal only makes sense if it’s for high picks and prospects

Thread: Wild Off-Season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IcemanJoe</b></div><div>And that’s why I provided an additional resource. Which you conveniently also threw out lol. Reading the tea leaves from Isle fans it seemed like they wanted to keep Wahlstrom over Raty (Raty still a year away maybe?) Hence why I went with Raty instead of Wahlstrom in the package. If OTT offers 7 OA and a prospect, the Isles will have to beat that. Not sure how they beat that with anyone but Wahlstrom or Raty and the first. And if they don’t want to that’s fine, he’ll go to OTT or another place. Fiala has plenty of suitors and OTT has shown significant interest in him. Dorian is also pretty desperate to get them back to the playoffs.</div></div>

Lol I disregarded the blog, because it’s a random Joe Blow who likes his team. He doesn’t have access to any other information than we do. As far as I’m concerned, he’s just as credible as anyone on this site.

I agree with you on a lot of what else you said, though. This is a good example of how to beat the OTT 7th OA. There will be multiple suitors. It’s not an outrageous opening ask in the negotiations. And there are some GMs with seats warming up.

I would be very happy with this return, but I just don’t think we get something quite this rich.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IcemanJoe</b></div><div>According to Russo’s article and the article from an Isles guy (link in details) that’s the proposed “fair deal”.</div></div>

Maybe from the standpoint of someone inside the Wild Org, but I promise he didn't hear that from anyone connected to the Islanders. No one knows what Lou is thinking, and he never leaks potential deals.

I personally wouldn't make this trade from an Islanders standpoint.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Thats too much for Clutterbuck at 3.5M</div></div>

Every trade I've seen with Clutterbuck going out has full retention, wondering if OP forgot to include. Clutterbuck with 50% retention comes down to a $1.75M hit, which I think works for a 3rd considering his play.
