Thread: WILD CARD ATLEAST
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tommybarzy</b></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.</div></div>
There are four teams I know about on debrincats list which are Detroit New York Dallas and Nashville. I don’t see anyone replacing Debrincats spot in ottawa on any of those teams that they would deal to ottawa. All I see is a pool of picks coming from those teams. I don’t think the islanders except this deal but it’s a good one to think about

Thread: Isles
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tommybarzy</b></div><div>Puljujarvi is a dominant 2 way player who makes McDavid better, buying low on him to play with Barzal would be a smart move. https://twitter.com/zjlaing/status/1591097977204281345?s=46&amp;t=A1C8FH7t_pWgwplUfQeGwQ

And Islanders need to add Räty to a Meier trade if they want any chance of beating out other teams like NJ and Holtz.
Räty is at minimum a year away from the NHL, and even when he makes it, he won’t have the immediate impact that Meier would have. Getting Barzal a 40G, 80P caliber winger before players like Nelson/Lee/JGP start their decline is IMO too good to pass up for the chance that Räty develops to a player of Meiers caliber down the road. (And I’m one of Räty’s biggest fans, I would hate to see him leave).</div></div>

Not to mention the typical prospect included on a Meier trade from the isles on this site is Dufour who to me is a boom or BUST player. I’m a shark fan and a little biased but I want Raty 1000x over Dufour.

Thread: Swap of Struggling Players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Wahlstrom isn’t struggling and this would be a steal for Vancouver , which is why I hope it happens. Let Wahlstrom break out somewhere else with more than 11 min TOI

This could end up worse than the Devon Toews trade</div></div>

I respect your opinions even though I disagree with them most of the time, but are you truly an Islander fan? Seems like you want to see us implode all the time :tearsofjoy

I like Wahlly, but he can literally only shoot the puck. Doesn't skate well, can't receive a pass to save his life or stick handle well. Still think he has plenty of room to grow but he's gotten time with Barzal and PP time. He hasn't totally gotten the Trotz treatment from Lambert either. Kid is just always in his own head
