Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear 😂

Isles will finish the season 3rd in the metro. We have the games in hand on Philly (who are selling) plus a head to head matchup. Flyers schedule is brutal and Washington/Pittsburgh are also sellers. Plus, Buchnevich is a guy they keep next year at minimum

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TkachukNorris79</b></div><div>Ottawa considers it if NYI retain a bit on Pageau, if not then there's no way they'll take on that cap hit for someone to play 4C.</div></div>

Is it possible someone shifts to wing? I saw Norris' injury the other night but lets assume he's back next year (even though he's apparently made of glass). Not sure that the Isles can make retention work unless another team steps up to do it. IMO Pageau is probably a $3.5-4m dollar player. But with the cap rising as much as it will be in the next couple years, that extra $1-1.5m is not going to be as big of a deal as it would be in a flat cap environment

Casey can definitely 3C. He looked so much better not being anchored down by Martin and Clutter. MacLean is a fine 4C

Thread: deadline

Pulock has a NTC so no guarantee he would waive. But aside from that I don't see the Islanders selling a guy like Pulock. The most likely player to move is Pageau. Scott Mayfield is not an RD2 at this point in his career and I don't think Timmins has much upside left at this point either. If a trade like this were to ever hypothetically happen it should simply be a 1st+high end prospect.

Thread: Scouting OTT two days in a row

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>If he’s a talented prospect, he would have made the isles lineup lol. He’s no different than Matthew Philips</div></div>

He hasn’t been a call up because his game is suited for a top-6 role. He is talented offensively but due to his size he is weaker off the puck. But his hands are sick and he has proven he has plenty of speed/scoring touch at the AHL level. The Islanders first/only call up was MacLean (to replace Cizikas). They haven’t had an injury to their top-6. Iskhakov is a complicated situation if you aren’t following it closely.

Thread: Scouting OTT two days in a row

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ordinarymutant</b></div><div>1. that offer isn't anywhere close to getting a player of pinto's caliber. a couple AHLers and a late pick in a weak draft doesn't get it done.

2. scouts being at a game isn't an indication of anything significant. there are always a handful of scouts at every game, often times not to watch any one team or player in particular. i wouldn't put any stock in what scouts are at what games.</div></div>

Maybe early in the season, but b2b games 10 days before the deadline? That holds more weight

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>AHL player, a project winger and a 1st…Ottawa probably laughs</div></div>

He’s a talented prospect, it’s a respectable offer IMO. But I’m used to these types of comments from you specifically lol

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 27 at 8:15 p.m.

Thread: From a completely credible source

Random comment but I trust your thoughts: Isles are scouting Ottawa for the second night in a row. Is there a situation where Pinto can be had? Thinking like a 1st+Wahlstrom as a starting package. Isles benefit from him making $775k and don’t need to offload major salary until the offseason.

Chychrun is interesting but would require salary (Pageau?) to move with a high draft pick. Tarasenko would be less but again would require retention+salary moving. I don’t see a guy who makes more sense than Pinto (and he’s a Long Island boy which is just a bonus lol)

Thread: Familiar faces

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MK_sens</b></div><div>That makes sense but here is the way I see it from an Isles POV... it's basically a Pageau vs Branny trade.

OK Reilly/Brann might be a wash for this year (Have not really seen reilly play tbh) but he at least has the potential to be a long term answer for you guys! Honestly I've been liking Branny's play this year (finally)... But for the sens there is just one LD that has to go.

I'd be VERY VERY suprised if ANY team gives up value for a non-retained PAGEAU, especially since he has a 16 team no-trade list... so getting Branny, a young up and coming D-man that fits on the Romanov/Dobson timeline is a good get for you guys. You can use the 3.5 Million cap space created by this trade to re-sign branny, that is probably approx what he will command on a long term deal.

Kubalik is a necessary throw in.

Kastelic gives you a 4C option, which neither of Mclean, Gauthier, Fashing.. really are. I jsut figured you would need an extra C since pageau is leaving.</div></div>

Reilly has been very good for us as a LD3. I'd be comfortable giving him a $1-1.5x2 extension while we wait for our prospects to grow. Sam Bolduc, Isaiah George, and Calle Odelius are all LD. I think we could get a pick for Pageau, doesn't have to be anything glamorous. Or maybe he's a "hockey trade" without retained salary going either way. I just don't think the rationale of Branny works here as well as you might and I want to avoid retaining salary

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 26 at 1:03 p.m.

Thread: Familiar faces

I would rather keep Reilly at LD3 than Branny. Kubalik is a pending UFA and we have enough of bottom 6 guys like Kastelic. Don't see why we are retaining 30% on Pageau for that package. I think if the Isles were to move on from JGP they can easily trade him without retention

Islanders could trade Pageau without retention if they wanted to and avoid a buyout. Not sure they could do the same with Lee
