Thread: A wild offseason PT2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksnOilers</b></div><div>This is somewhat a concept of Barzal asking out, Dobson and Sorokin are most likely untouchable due to the scarcity of their contracts and positions but I'd argue Barzal isn't. He's going to be almost 28 when the Isles rebuild starts with 6 years left on his deal. If they're in a position where they can't compete due to the lack of talent + being in an extremely tough division (Carolina, New Jersey, The Rangers and one of the Jackets or Flyers will probably all be absolute juggernauts) he may ask out or at least suggest a change in scenery. He would bring back an absolute haul (as seen above) and would be a kickstart to a much needed rebuild</div></div>

He loves Long Island and Isles aren’t going to rebuild any time soon. This is just as much of a hypothetical as saying Kaprizov wanting out of MIN because they haven’t won and it’s not a desirable city to live in. We can do if and buts with anybody in the league lol

And in terms of value I think the isles could get higher end talent anyways. If Isles were to even consider trading Barzal they are going to want an elite prospect and high end pick. Think like Byfield for example. I don’t think Rossi is near that

Thread: reset for roy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tm0000</b></div><div>Palmieri is not a cap dump. At the deadline, Arizona got a 6th for Zucker who is 1) having a bad season (11 goals to Palmieri's 22) and 2) more expensive than Palms. I don't think they'll get much for Palms, but a one year rental on a cheap contract should be easily movable. I'd look at Toffoli as a comp - one year of him at $4.25MM was worth a 3rd and a good young roster player (Sharangovich). Palms is not going to be coming off as good a season as Toffoli was, so he won't return a package that good, but a 3rd or a 4th without the player seems reasonable.

I agree with the Hawks fans who don't want to pay for him though; he doesn't make sense for a rebuilding team. He'd only make sense for a playoff team that was looking for some secondary scoring with no long-term commitment required.</div></div>

I'll take it a step further. Why trade Palmieri at all? He's been fantastic under Roy. Best forward not named Barzal or Horvat. There are guys in the top-9F group who should be moved on from. Palms is not one of them

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>Paccioretty is on the 3rd line playing for the oldest team in the league. Been watching a lot of Caps lately and he does not have top 6 legs. Teravainen would be a nice signing, but I think another team makes a better offer. Carolina probably matches that and he'll take home more money post-tax. It's shaping up to be a weird offseason, not too many big names on the hot seat. We should see a couple pop up after round 1 of playoffs.</div></div>

I'm pretty confident Turbo is out in Carolina just because of how many other key guys they might/need to sign (Necas, Jarvis, Pesce, Skjei, Drury, Chatfield, Martinook) and that doesn't even include if they are trying to keep Guentzel. Maybe spend an extra million on him from the hypothetical Patches contract and play an Iskhakov/Dufour on the cheap instead.
