Thread: Offseason

Lou didn't think trading for Vatrano at the deadline was the right move, I doubt he does it in the offseason.

Also god help me if the islanders haven't learned their lesson about overpaying for 4th liners (clutter and Martin) and spend almost 2 million on Carrick when they have fasching and Gauthier for practicality league min

Thread: Deadline

I like Duclair as a target for the Islanders, but he’s on pace for just over 30 points, there’s no way New York is paying a 2nd, our top prospect, and a 23 year old defenseman whose already in the NHL.

If Lou is trading for Duclair, it’s probably a swap with Wahlstrom or a 3rd round pick straight up.

Thread: Do the sTANKy leg

When the Islanders were dealing with Dman injuries earlier this season they picked up Mike Reilly on waivers and traded a 7th for Bortuzzo. They're not trading a 2nd round pick for a 3rd pair guy with the biggest cap hit out of the three

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Davioparker</b></div><div>Feels like an overpayment for a 35 year old goalie signed for 3 more years and a middle-6 forward on the wrong side of 30 with another year left.

im not at all saying that's a good trade that either side would take but calling Brock Nelson a middle six forward might just be the dumbest take I've heard in a while.

Thread: Vegas Golden Knights TD

The Islanders aren’t paying a 3RD ROUND PICK for an NHL/AHL dman. We have Bolduc/Hutton for that. And if Lou decides the team needs an extra 7th D, he’ll either claim one off waivers (Mike Reilly), or pay a super low price (7th for Bortuzzo).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChevelsDayOff</b></div><div>id love to have pulock and ive seen lots of trades with ehlers going the other way but i think winnipeg keeps him. not sure what a fair package of picks/prospects would look like for pulock and would depend on the isle’s direction too.

havent watched much of their games, is there something lambert is doing specifically thats drawn the ire of fans?</div></div>

Team blows leads left and right with him. Undisciplined, can’t stay out of the box. Changes lines when the team is playing well, refuses to change them when the team struggles, doesn’t call a single timeout when the team is in the middle of blowing leads (see SJS game), when other teams call timeouts and actually talk to their players, Lambert paces and says nothing. Puts super slow players (Anders Lee) on the ice when other team has extra attackers and big surprise we can’t keep up and get trapped for 2 straight minutes in the zone, runs top d-men into the ground so they’re dead tired by the late 3rd (Mike Reilly was dominant in the sharks game and still couldn’t crack 13 minutes, meanwhile Sam Bolduc who should be in the AHL at best is up at 18 minutes). Lambert got asked after like the 4th blown lead this year and said it’s not a trend. Now it’s like the 10th+ time it’s happened

Holmstrom is a better player for the islanders than fabbri (imo), and using Fabbri's money to keep Romanov (a 23 year old defenseman whose taken huge leaps this season) is the better move

Thread: WILD CARD ATLEAST

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gsg</b></div><div>What would I need to add?</div></div>

The value isn’t horrible if DeBrincat signs long term, but the islanders are looking to add DeBrincat to their window, which Nelson is a huge part of. He’s a 40g, 70p caliber center who’s only gotten better with age. Trading him goes against Lou’s recent moves aiming at keeping open the islanders current window.

But if you’re deadset on a basis for a nelson-DeBrincat trade, this is a good offer that would make the islanders think.

Lou has hindered this teams cap situation, there isn’t much improvement to be made. you have to hope a full season on healthy Barzal with Horvat plus the strong second line provide the scoring the team needs, and with Sorokin in net anything is possible. Plus development from Wahlstrom, Dobson, Romanov, and Holmstrom offer hope.

Bro Palmieri was the islanders best forward in the playoffs, isles aren’t dumping him along with a young forward In holmstrom to sign a 31 year old Tarasenko to a 7 YEAR CONTRACT, screwing them cap wise when they need to resign Sorokin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>stephane_robidas</b></div><div>Top 4 RHD, 16th overall pick from June, top 40 pick and a 4th

But I digress, I suppose it would cost a young winger from Buffalo in reality but this isn't reality so I'll trade for whoever I want for pennies</div></div>

Jokiharju is one of the worst defenseman in the NHL, and Ostlund is a solid prospect but not at the level of Savoie (imo). Those two along with a mid range 2nd and a 4th don’t even sniff Dobson.

And I know the bio says this isn’t realistic, but cmon this trade offer like the islanders offering Casey Cizikas, Calle Odelius, plus lowish picks for Tage Thompson.
