Thread: ideal isles 2020
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>That's not enough to convince me that Beauvillier needs to be moved straight up for a guy that Beauvillier could be at a much higher price tag. I'd rather to our roster with Beauvillier than marginally upgrade him and have to go out and get another guy.

I'm not saying Miller wouldn't be useful here. I'd give him a shot, but not at the cost of Beauvillier.</div></div>

put it this way. the isles need top 6 help. they can get that for pretty cheap in miller. they most likely will trade beau this summer bc they dont have a spot to play him. dal colle is better at the 3rd line defensive role than he is and he is clearly not a top 6 player. this isnt a marginal upgrade. Miller posted 58 and 56 points the 2 years before this one when he was given top 6 minutes. hes miles better than beauvillier

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>They were only open to trading Beau for Mark Stone. I don't think they were just giving him away. Trading him straight up for Miller doesn't make sense from a financial or hockey perspective right now. It wouldn't be buy low.

Miller for a 2nd and a prospect, that's buying low and that I would do.</div></div>

you are overvaluing beau. he hasn't shown to be a viable top 6 forward and he's not the best bottom 6 forward either due to his size. when he's not getting handfed passes by barzal he really isn't that noticeable. he's a player without a role on this team and may have the most value right now. also, the isles are swimming in cap space while the lightning have none. that's why the lightning would even consider this swap.

Thread: Deadline trades if the Isles are clear sellers MIN BOS COL
eberle and nelson both get at least firsts if you look at the history of deadline deals for 60 point wingers and big 20 goal centers. also no chance lou is trading leddy for draft picks and also no chance the bruins want or need leddy. i would see if maybe montreal is willing to trade drouin or if Toronto is willing to give up a forward for him or something in a similar vein with a different team. remember, lou is in win now mode according to staple and when he realizes this current team has no shot he'll be looking for trades which give him young players or high end draft capital in the next year or 2. he will value young roster players over long term prospects. theyre definitely counting on bellows and hoping on wahlstrom and dobson to be nhl players as soon as next year. you can bet he'll be going after everyone in free agency too. i honestly think that he thinks that he can build a contender by next season. hope he doesnt go overboard by making bad trades or signings for the short term (like giving varlamov a massive contract)
