Thread: Another go at it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>🙄

Benson has had AHL scoring rates on par with most good 1st round picks for three years now and his age 20 season was especially notable

His NHLe for 3 years has been ~30 that's lovely

He's quite a good prospect and asset</div></div>

Let me re-iterate:

This deal involves a very good NHL starter on a very reasonable deal and a 24 year old with more than 300 NHL games and 30 points in 50 playoff games on the one hand.

On the other hand, we have a bad backup on a bad deal and a 23 year old with 1 NHL game and good numbers in the minors.

To make up for this ridiculous difference in value you swap a 1st for a 3rd round pick and throw in a player nobody ever considered a prospect. Got it.

Thread: Another go at it

Let me get this straight: You want to trade a bad backup goalie on a terrible contract, a prospect from 5 years ago who could never stick in the NHL, another no name prospect and a 1st round pick for:
a number 1 goaltender who's arguably top 10-15 in the league and was certainly on a few Vezina ballots, a young second line winger and playoff hero with more than 300 NHL games played aged 24 and a 3rd round pick? This might be the worst and most delusional proposal I have ever seen on here.

If you get lucky, you can ship Koskinen and a 1st to a team looking to reach the salary floor and get a 5th round pick in return.

Thread: ExistenceIsPain

Hang in there. The Isles looked like a laughingstock on July 1st 2018 (JT leaving to Toronto) and look how things have turned around. To be fair, you don't have neither a Lou nor a Trotz kind of leadership, but good coaches are available and Adams should figure it out too.

Thread: After Boychuk

Well, I can easily live without Brassard, but I think he played well with JGP in the playoffs and there is not a single youngster that could break the roster on LW . The prospect pool sucks, neither drafting nor developing has been up to par. Yes, I think Bellows would be fine there, but I very much doubt that he gets another chance after his substance abuse problem. Ho-Sang ditto. We could have Leo there, but he will block a younger player just as you said Brassard would. And I much rather have Brass at 1x1.3m than Leo at 2x3m.

Yes, this will never happen unfortunately. Leddy plus Bode Wilde plus a 3rd for a 5th or 6th could make it work maybe.

Boychuk makes only 7m in real cash over the two years and is still a capable 7th D to guide the youth. I think he will be easier to move than Leddy personally.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TCMonkey</b></div><div>Ottawa has ZERO need for Nick Leddy. Declined.</div></div>

I know, wishful thinking. He was very good in the playoffs though and could help them reach the floor. Guess, Isles would have to add pieces like Bode Wilde and get maybe in 6th in return.

Thread: getitdoneplease

Regarding Leddy: Are you saying Center is not a position we need? It is the position we need the most imo. Danault is a great player, same points as Brock at a bargain cap hit and amazing shut down abilities. Exactly what we need at 3C. Can also fill in in the top 6 like he did with the Habs.
Pelech and Pulock formed a very good pair, of course Pelech is no 1st pair D, but which team does actually have two of them? Your projection for Lee seem very low, I can't see him taking anything less than 6.75. He was a 40 goal scorer just 1 year ago. And in fact, he is a FA, there is no reason to believe he takes a discount for the Isles. He can wait them out, test the market, Isles need to counter. I don't think it is a great deal for the Isles but one they need to make. It is understandable Lou wanted to evaluate everything, but it is biting him now, that's for sure.
