Thread: Sunday Boredom

Flames probably reject, Coronato is their Räty, they’d be hard pressed to move him, especially for a rental when they’re already stacked on defense.

Thread: How close are these

Islanders aren’t interested in Boeser, he’s damaged goods and isn’t a big improvement over Bailey (both have been scratched recently, Boeser has an extra year of term and makes 1.65 more per year). Adding a young defenseman and high draft picks isn’t worth it from the Isles perspective.

Also on the Meier deal, replace one of Iskhakov/Dufour with a 2nd, Isles can’t afford to give up 2 of our top prospects at once, our prospect pool is shallow enough as is.

Overpay on Gustafsson, he’s another Aho type, if we get a depth dman I’d rather get someone who can play defense.

Thread: Time To Stay With The Rebuild

Islanders aren’t paying the price Ottawa paid for DeBrincat PLUS one of our top prospects, especially when he’s underperformed so far this year.

Thread: top 10 per position

Slavin/Pelech over Reilly, Panarin/Guentzel over Landeskog, Point/Petterson over Zibanejad, Ehlers/Fiala over Batherson, Hamilton/Pulock over Doughty/Dobson, Sorokin being at 10 and behind Hart is criminal.

Thread: Deadline

Islanders reject, as bad as Bailey is he can at least stay healthy, and the extra term and money for Boeser should have the draft pick coming back the other way (maybe not a first but still).

Boeser is damaged goods, and Lou would never trade Pageau who has a NTC.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Not sure how you can have this take about Raty. His worst cast scenario is prime Nazim Kadri lol.

That is not Raty’s worst case lmfao. His worst case is not making the NHL or being a bottom 6 C. Prime Kadri (a 1C) is closer to his ceiling, not his floor. The only prospects in hockey whose floors are 1C’s are Bedard and Fantilli, and Räty is nowhere close to those two.</div></div>

Thread: Isles

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>I forgot about that trade - yeah that’s all I need to know why I would never make this trade. And pacioretty is great, but Suzuki is a stud center, that will always be more valuable</div></div>

Imo islanders are in need of a star winger more than a *potential* star center, especially when they have Barzal and Nelson (40G pace the past 2 seasons) down the middle. The biggest failure of the islanders in the past 10-15 years is the lack of talent to play with their stars. It’s why Tavares left, and why Barzal hasn’t hit his true potential yet. Räty could be a Suzuki, but he could also be a Glass or Krebs. Trading *potential* in a position of strength for the sure thing in a position of need is something I would do all day.

Thread: Isles

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Not sure how much u really like him when ur proposing they trade him lol</div></div>

I can love him as a prospect while still seeing the bigger picture. He’s the one of the best prospects the Isles have had in ages, but imo his ceiling is a high end 2C, so it would be foolish to not be open to trading him for the top line winger to pair with Barzal that’s been lacking from this team for years. Räty, like any prospect, can bust and never even sniff the NHL, while Meier is a star forward who immediately launches the Isles into Stanley Cup contention.

Thread: Isles

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Why would the isles trade for Puljujvari the way he is playing rn? Also why would they want to trade Raty lmao</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&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).

Once again, Islanders reject, JGP is too important and is much better than Mittelstadt.

Thread: Sabres

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>I hate Mittlestadt, but I've heard literally all of the same arguements from Mitts defenders that you have listed here:
Defense ✔️
Faceoffs✔️
PP1✔️
PK✔️</div></div>

Pageau has won 58% of his faceoffs this year, and is always around 55%. Mittelstadt is at 52% this year, and it’s his first time above 50%. And just because Mittelstadt plays those minutes on a poor team like Buffalo, it doesn’t mean he’s deserving of them/even close to JGP’s level.

According to JFresh’s player cards, Mittlestadts projected WAR is 49%, with 10% EV Defense. JGP is at 83% and 75% respectively.

Isles easily decline, end of story.

Thread: Dew it

Trading Varly is a huge mistake, having him as a backup is a luxury (also why is Arizona trading for a goalie, they’re tanking). All it takes is one injury to Sorokin and we’re stuck with an Ingram-Schneider tandem.
Also look at the rangers, Shesterkin has looked human this season, and Halak has been so bad they’re being forced to play Igor on back-to-back nights like 15 games into the season which is not a recipe for success.

Thread: Sabres

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>They're literally the same except Mitts is younger and more skilled and JGP is more physical</div></div>

Pageau is miles better defensively, he’s on PP1 and PK1, is a faceoff god, and shuts down opposing teams top lines. He’s the perfect 3C with good analytics and this Islanders team is not the same without him. Also JGP is a Lou acquisition so there’s no chance he’s traded, plus he has a NTC. Mittelstadt has a chance to be better than Pageau in the future, but the islanders are built to win now and aren’t taking a downgrade at 3C for a chance to be better a few years down the road.

And is Mittelstadt really all that good considering literally all of your recent ACGMs have him traded?
