Thread: Ben Islanders pt 5
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gortonsfishsticks27</b></div><div>I agree, I saw this ACGM and the underpayment was my first thought. As a CHI fan, is there a specific isles prospect you have in mind?

Would something like this work?:
-bailey
-1st
-buldoc/wilde

Unfortunately, the isles only top prospects are Raty and Dufour and they can't give one of them up for 1 year of Kane. Would a roster player like Beauviller be good instead? Then CHI doesn't retain?</div></div>

Bolduc and Wilde move the needle even less than Aho and Holmstrom. Plus, we really don't need any more D prospects, but being right handed might help. Honestly, if the NYI's can't give up a Whalstrom, Raty, or Dufour, or a better selection of picks, they shouldn't be targeting Patrick Kane.

Thread: A perfect finish to the offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gortonsfishsticks27</b></div><div>He's not as critical as he's making him out to be. You'd think this guy is related to Toews with how obsessed he is at overrating him on this website.

Is he good and a top 4 dman? Yes.
Is he critical to the isles success? No.

On the isles defensive depth chart, he's at fourth behind pelech, pulock, dobson. If isles were presented an opportunity to package him with someone for a top-line guy I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Would Buffalo be open to trading either Olofsson or Reinhart for Toews+?</div></div>

Probably not this offseason, but maybe next. It would depend on the situation with Hall and Cozen's development. We would probably rather offer draft picks and guys like Mittelstadt, Ryan Johnson (LD, 2019 31st overall pick), or Samuelsson (LD, 2018 32nd overall pick), but I'm not sure that would enticing enough

Thread: Would be really nice
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>I really don't want Frans back, even at that price. We just have no need for him. Koivula can take his spot after this season, we just need a 3C with an expiring contract for this season. He's also the most overrated player in Islander history.</div></div>

I'd agree with all of this, but you're overlooking that this would get us out of Ladd's contract. I'd much rather overpay Frans for the next 3 years than overpay Ladd for the next 4 years. Sure, Nielsen was overrated, but he's an ideal 3rd line Center.

Not sure if Winnipeg would do that trade. But it can't be far off. Top 4 defenseman, future middle six winger and future middle pairing Power Play QB? Not a bad package. I'm sure Jets fans would hate it, but I like this idea a lot. Well done. Only thing I'd change is I'd switch Bailey with Ho-Sang. Beau and Frans are great defensive forwards who can still shoot, those are exactly the kind of skaters I want surrounding Ho-Sang.
