Thread: young guns 20

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>6'4 #1 RHD with elite skating ability are extremely rare.

As an Isles fan I wouldn't do this deal. I can also 100% see why fans of other teams would say this is a small price to pay for Tkachuk and he will fetch a better haul. It doesn't matter, the Isles won't be in on him whatsoever.

Thread: isles

What's the point of trading Varlamov and retaining money to the point where after signing his replacement you saved a million to 1.5 million on the salary cap? That's a huge downgrade in net (love love love Greiss and what he did here but he's not Varly right now)

Thread: im just bored waiting for draft please comment

you said please comment so here are a few - the Isles can't trade their 2023 third round draft pick - it's tied up in conditions from the Andrew Ladd trade. That also will almost certainly take it out of play before this upcoming seasons trade deadline.

I don't think Bode Wilde has much trade value right now - not sure adding him helps us get Tarasenko (couldn't hurt to try)

So many Isles fans want to trade Varlamov - I think it's a terrible idea - He's still very good and there's no reason to force a huge workload on Sorokin. The money you save from Varly to new goalie 2 in this case Samsonov is going to be 3mil or less - that won't be a make or break in making team better. Also, how many backup goalies were forced into playoff action this year? You need two hands to count - if god forbid Sorokin gets hurt, team wouldn't lose a step with him (including reg season where in such a great division every point will matter and goalie2 on isles will still get 25-35 games)

Thread: Offseason

So if you add the money the isles retain on varlamov and holtby's salary the isles save 750k of cap space to take a major major downgrade in net. No thanks.

Thread: play the youth

So you're trading away a top goalie in the league - and taking a chance that if anything happens to Sorokin that Aaron dell will be the answer....and trading a top 5 point scorer for isles each of the last 5 years .....and a third round pick so that you can.... Sign Ben Chiarot and start season with 8m of unspent cap savings? If you wanna sell me on trading bailey's 5m to help sign a difference maker, fine...but to sign aaron dell and ben chiarot? Yikes

Thread: What i can see happening

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Getting rid of Bailey would be a great thing, I’m not a huge fan of the 2nd trade. Puljujarvi would be a great add, isles need more play drivers.</div></div>

Bailey is the whooping boy and while he def isn't elite like some people joke about, he's been a very good Islander especially the last half decade and he always plays better in playoffs. I am not saying he is by any means untouchable, there may be 2 of those on the Isles, but "getting rid of bailey would be a great thing" i think is not fair either. He is worth way more than future considerations, this isn't Peter Regin or Marty Reasoner lol.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 2, 2022 at 8:29 p.m.

Thread: Feedback is welcome

I am not a fan of Burakovsky being the Isles big acquisition. He's an ok player but his numbers in Colorado were inflated b/c, well, he played for that offensive juggernaut. He's not terrible, but he's not really an upgrade over what we would be giving up and he'd come at a large cap hit. Ghost scares me but at that salary i'd consider it....but not if it's him and Salo going into the year as LD2/LD3. I like that you kept Varlamov...lots of ppl trying to trade him and I think he is a big part of this team still.

What a terrible, terrible off-season that would be for the NYI. I dont like a single one of those moves.

He wouldn't get a chance to waive b/c the Isles would never take that offer. Also, Dobson would laugh at that offer.

Thread: some thought

Isles decline. They aren't giving up a first rounder (they haven't had one in 3 years) for a winger making 5.5/year that isn't really that special...They don't send much cap back in the deal either...this trade would cause them to make other deals just to fit in anderson and that isn't happening.

Thread: What they should do

I don't get what so many Isles fans on here see in Puljujarvi.....I watch every single Oilers game and he doesnt show much at all. He's had chances to play with 97 and 29 and never made most of it. He's a guy I'd stay away from. just my opinion tho.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 27, 2021 at 8:52 p.m.

Thread: Could this team win a cup

Can they win? Yes. But the contracts you handed our are incredibly low. Casey isn't settling for that little from 5m. Suter is likely going to get 4 years and up to 4 mil a year. Let's hope they find a way to get Suter Palms Parise and Casey but even that seems like a financial long shot.

Thread: Oldmanhockey Islanders

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oldmanhockey</b></div><div>He is hurt an awful lot for my liking. I don't value him that high due t that fact.</div></div>

Hurt a lot for your liking? Leddy has never missed more than 4 games in a season! Plus, Dobson and Wilde are RHD and Leddy is a LD. They won't come in and play for him especially as youngsters.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 14, 2019 at 7:14 p.m.

Thread: what about Toews or Pelech from NYI

Toews price would be considerably higher than what fans are hoping Leddy can bring back. He's young, under team control and very very good. He's the only Islander that can compare to Leddy in skating ability and has above average offensive potential. Pelech was very good this season too and since his contract is so much lower than Leddy's he'd bring in a considerable haul as well. I can almost guarantee Toews is virtually untouchable. Seems as if the dmen they would trade are LD- Leddy, Hickey and Mayfield(RD)

Maybe harsh, but just a huge overpay on the Isles part - apologies - I'd hope if that's what Isles were sending someone, we'd get a bonafide star in return. Wilde is a big prospect for us. Add in the picks and that is a great haul.

The Isles missed the playoffs by one point. So not much "vaulting" needed. As far as Cup contenders....not with Halak/Greiss tandem IMO

Halak to Calgary for a 4th! How original! Why have isles fans been pushing their best goalie out the door for 2 straight summers now only to Calgary and only getting a 4th back? Whatever, they have Smith now so maybe the madness can stop
