Everyone knew Toews was one of the more underrated defenseman in the NHL except a portion of the isles fanbase who were fixated on a few mistakes in the playoffs.

I asked for 5 articles written about toews being underrated when he was an islander and you produced 2., one of which is based on his time with the islanders.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>You were attempting to justify trading Toews based on his play in the Tampa series. You clearly undervalued what he brought to the isles. You don’t trade elite players to dump contracts.

There were other ways to shed cap - the isles had offers for Nick Leddy , don’t re-sign Matt Martin, bury Ross Johnston in the minors. The narrative that they had to trade Toews isn’t true. They chose to keep a much worse defenseman and a few plugs over Toews.</div></div>

it’s true, toews took TWO too many men penalties in a decisive game. Imagine if Bailey did that? Just saying

Elite player, yeah, but they didn’t trade him cause of the penalties. Just clearly valued more by you and majority of the NHL now that he’s off the islanders

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>The facts are that Beau has been one of the NHL's most clutch playoff performers over the past two seasons. The numbers back that up, you can't even find anything to dispute that. The only thing you can come up with is "Beau wasn't an islander you wouldn't care about him" - because the numbers all point to him being a top 6 two way forward who's clutch in the playoffs.

Bailey was good a few years ago, but he has fallen off a cliff. Unfortunately for the isles, his awareness on the powerplay in game 7 against Tampa cost the isles. Bailey is also at the bottom of the league in most offensive and defensive metrics this season. Can you prove me wrong?</div></div>

Bailey has had more points the last two runs by a considerable margin. There’s no point in wasting my time anymore. I know your type, it’s fine. You’re not unique

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Ghostisbere had good numbers last season - if Lou took on Ghost along with a 2nd rd pick, it would have been a great move. Not much term, elite puck mover , solid on the Powerplay.

you talking about types of fans, I definitely know your type - you were in favor of dumping Toews to get rid of Boychuk lmaooo. I don't think your words hold much weight when you thought it was a good move to get rid of a top pairing D who also happens to be miles better than Chychrun right now.

if beau wasn’t an islander you wouldn’t care at all about him… those are the facts. You’re attached cause he’s an islander.

I also love how a few comments ago you brought up Josh Bailey. You’re literally *that* islander fan. Josh Bailey is a guy who produces when it counts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>The most islander fan thing ever is wanted to pay an extremely high price for a mediocre player. it's nothing new though, I have no doubt you were one of the ones wanting to trade Barzal+ for Duchene.

It's not only his counting stats- , his underlying numbers are even worse. The numbers don't lie! Are you implying that taking on a 2nd rd pick for a much better defenseman than Chara would have been a bad deal? :tearsofjoy

Oh yeah we're gonna feel real stupid when Chychrun goes to another team and and continues to not be a game changing defenseman. Beauvillier has 44 points in his last 69 games and produces when it matters - and then you're adding in Raty and a top 10 pick in an extremely deep draft. All for a defenseman who would be lucky to play 50 games next season. This trade makes the islanders worse, you literally have a washed up 33 year old josh Bailey on the 2nd line with Bellows who is also extremely slow.</div></div>

“Produces when it matters” 2 goals in final 13 playoff games. Yes, one was an OT winner. He most certainly does not produce when it matters. Islander fans stay dumb.

And no I’m not implying that. But if Lou took on a cap dump, you would be crying that Lou is a bad GM. I know your type, don’t even try to deny it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>The difference between me an you is I can prove Beau+ is more valuable to the islanders than Chychrun . You’re choosing to ignore that Chychrun has been one of the worst defenseman in the NHL this season.

Take a look at these stats! You like what you see buddy? Is the NHL lying about this 😂

Hahahaha, most islander fan thing ever has to be let’s not get Chrychun due to poor counting numbers, but Gostibehere!!!! YES! Saw a fan like you on another page wishing we took the deal Philly gave Arizona for ghost. Imagine that? Can you IMAGINE if the islanders made that deal this summer. So funny. Boy are we gonna feel stupid when Chrychrun flourishes somewhere and we’re stuck with 25 point Anthony Beauvillier because he scored a big goal.
