Thread: Every Teams worst signings in the Salary Cap era

I’d probably say Andrew Ladd over Dipietro

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>Lou doesn't have the balls to move on from a player he signed. Has he once?

This entire roster has now been signed or traded by him. He isn't moving anyone on the roster who he signed, he just isn'. Especially not Pulock

He has moved exclusively draft picks and players he didn't sign (Bailey and Beau only)</div></div>

That’s not what you said, though it’s a fair point

Thread: just thinking outloud

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>interesting idea

I feel Stars fans will be upset with giving up Bourque, and Isles fans wont want to have Mayfield as the 2RD

I think the value is fine, Isles would just wanna move Faksa in another deal since he has no fit.

However, the reality is Pulock wouldn't wanna waive in all likelihood and Lou doesn't have the balls to make a move. Fun idea tho</div></div>

“Lou doesn’t have the balls to make a move” is the most uninformed take I’ve seen in a while. Where have you been living for the last two years, under a rock?

Thread: a man can dream

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nolan16</b></div><div>this is barzals first time being above ppg since his rookie year. 2 2nds and a A level prospect would be enough to negotiate. islanders have one of the worst prospect pools in the league and this could be a step in the right direction. all though i would change one of the secconds for first</div></div>

A step in the right direction isn’t selling your 26yo star player who’s locked up long term for a couple of unknowns, that’s horrifically bad business. You mention his point totals and while there are a few factors as to why that’s a bad analysis point he’s always been significantly more dynamic and impactful than his point totals suggest.

Thread: a man can dream

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nolan16</b></div><div>everyone knows lou needs to sell a little. I couldve just did the schmidt deal in another trade. After i posted it i realized a first would be better then a second and maybe a late pick. That would atleast get them interested. this is just a ideal lineup</div></div>

Why does Lou need to sell? And selling doesn’t mean moving your mid 20s star forward that’s full scorched earth. And even if Lou wanted to completely blow this team up that’s not close to a serious offer for Barzal

Thread: PARAYKO TRADE at Draft WITH ZERO RETENTION

Everyone is rightly going on about the trades so I’ll just point out that thinking Chris Tanev signs for 1x2.5 is laughable

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Sharks only have 1 retention slot available</div></div>

Not OP but just lose the retention on Zadina, this is a 25 man roster so with 2 less players it easily fits.

Thread: deadline

I could be wrong but I don’t think it’s legal to retain on a player below the vet min

Thread: TDL 2024

What is this joke? Nelson retained will cost a 1st and good prospect by himself. Pulock won’t be easy to get (although WPG might be one of the few teams he’d be willing to go to) but he won’t be moved for scraps.

Thread: Edmonton 23-24

As an islander fan I’ve proposed a Wahlstrom-Broberg swap a bunch as I think it makes sense for both sides. Hamblin is not the type of player Lou likes as he’s extremely undersized and I doubt he would trade Dufour for a 3rd as he’s one of the few prospects NYI has that projects to be an NHLer in the next couple of years.

Thread: If we luz Kuz

Let me just get this straight, the isles move basically the same package and they get Kuzmenko while the canucks get Lindholm? Isles will just skip VAN pick up Lindholm themselves and CGY won’t deal him to a division rival.

Can you prove he’s not? Considering the term top 4 defenseman is a subjective term it’s impossible to be proven. Idek wth that’s supposed to mean.

Thread: Hannifin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>I don’t hate the kid, he’s just not a top 4 defenseman. Hes a #6 D. I was a fan of the trade when it happened, the last year he’s just been brutal at both ends of the ice and the isles should move on while he still has value.

Whenever I talk to anyone who’s a fan of Romanov (for emotional reasons) I can never get a legitimate answer at what he’s good at and how does he help the team win games</div></div>

I don’t hate Romanov I just think a legitimate top 4 defenseman is a fringe NHLer. Go scream at clouds
