Thread: Isles 2022-23 - Crazy Idea that Wont Work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Are you implying that Lou doesn’t care about winning and that he’s ok with losing as long as those guys are in the lineup?

The 4th line spends 99% of their ice time in the defensive zone and they give up a ton of goals. If they are brought back, it just means the isles are going back to the dark ages, there isn’t a player available that can outweigh the negatives of having all 3 of Martin, clutterbuck, bailey in the lineup -bailey has singlehandedly cost the isles at least 5 games this season.</div></div>

I'm implying that Lou likes his guys and would probably rather keep them than lose them.

Thread: Wish

Wow, hard for NYI to say no to this. I don't want to move Pageau, but this is good value.

Would the Canadiens do this if the trade turned into:

Beauvillier and a 3rd for Caufield, 2nd, and 4th?

Thread: Trotz should make these lines

Love these lines. I'd even swap Palmieri and Bailey. Bailey and Lee always play very well together.

Thread: What I would do

Isles say no. Not trading Mayfield.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>He’s been pretty bad for most of this season, have to reward him</div></div>

I don't want him back, but you know he's coming back. Had to make this somewhat realistic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>I would sign Giroux but he’ll never come here.

The issue is the 4th line and Bailey is one of the main reasons the isles are terrible this season. Cizikas needs two new wingers and Bailey has to go, whether it’s a buyout or trade. The isles can add ovechkin, it won’t matter if Martin, Clutterbuck, and Bailey are still on the team</div></div>

I agree with all of this but you know Lou's going to bring back Clutterbuck and Martin, and likely Bailey.

Thread: Retool to focus on next year

Here's my opinion as an Isles fan for each:

1) I think we should just keep Bailey. He's been awful this year, but so has the rest of the team. Bailey also had a great 4 seasons before this one. Let's not punish the most tenured Islander because of that.
2) I don't think Johnston is worth anything. Makes more sense to just keep him and waive him if necessary.
3) I doubt any team would take Palmieri. He's junk (at least right now). I like Roslovic though, but I think CBJ would rather keep him.
4) I'd rather pay more to Chicago for Kubalik. I don't think Strome fits well with this team.
5) I think both the Oilers and Isles do that.

There are very few players I hate more in the NHL than Jimmy Vesey.

Thread: If They Sell

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Islanders should move Beauvillier. Return would be large, and will probably need to move his cap hit eventually anyway.</div></div>

Only if they get a really high-quality LHD (Fowler, Chychrun, Girard, etc.). Otherwise I'd rather keep him. He's been a lot better recently after his massive slump.

Thread: Need to improve

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Very possible but they get a solid 1b goalie + pick for basically 1.5 years of SV. Rarely do goalies get big returns. MAF was basically free.</div></div>

Fleury was also a cap casualty. Isles are in great shape next year for the cap. It's the year after they're in a bit of trouble, but Varlamov will be a free agent by then.

Isles will trade him to improve in other areas or regain assets. They can keep him as easily as they can trade him. Varlamov won't be a cap casualty.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri. at 11:13 a.m.

Based on this site, the Isles can do better than that for Varlamov.

Thread: Nelson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Oh they would be doing cartwheels if they got this offer. Age matters.</div></div>

It does and it doesn't. He's still playing at a high level and the Isles view themselves as contenders. Nelson is showing no signs of slowing down.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Bahahahhahaha. This is the most ludicrous statement this site has seen, as well as one of the biggest overpays.</div></div>

That's the best pure 2C? To be clear, I think he's not a 1C anywhere, but as a 2C at his contract I can't think of a lot of better players out there.

This is good value, for the record, just not something NYI would do.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>I can almost guarantee that Bellows will be traded by the offseason. Trotz does not like him, he would have never gotten this look if it weren’t for injuries /covid and he’ll be a healthy scratch once again when palmieri is healthy</div></div>

I hope you're wrong. I've been very impressed with Bellows when I never really was before. He should be playing over Palmieri. And either way, he should be our 3LW next year after Parise leaves/retires. Trotz just said he doesn't like Bellows and Barzal together, which I understand.

I'd give him a shot with Nelson at some point if they shake the lines up. Nelson strangely plays very well with goal-scorers rather than playmakers (Lee, Beau, Wahlstrom).

Forum: Armchair-GMThu. at 10:40 a.m.

Thread: Mayfield

The value is great, more than we should get, but I'd rather keep him. I'd move him in the off-season if we get good value AND a decent replacement.

Thread: Sheldon Keefe called out the Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jaws49</b></div><div>Good luck getting Lou to trade with the leafs. No chance unless he is raping us</div></div>

He made a trade with them three days after Tavares signed. Matt Martin for Eamon McAdam.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlackwoodForVezina</b></div><div>Islanders accept</div></div>

No, they don't. He's arguably the best pure 2C in the NHL at a very reasonable contract. To me, he's considered untouchable.

Thread: What is Barzals Price

The only way he gets traded is he demands it. If he does, the only players on VAN I'd want are Pettersson or Hughes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Yamamoto is slightly better than Bellows but he would also bring speed to the lineup. The forward group is way too slow right now, and that’s with two elite skaters (Beau and barzal)</div></div>

Oh, I'd want Yamamoto if he became available to us, but I don't want to give up Bellows to get him.

Take Yamamoto and Bellows, add another 2nd and you have a deal.

Not enough for Laine but honestly, I'd rather keep Bellows. He's been fantastic lately.

If the Leafs add Robertson and a 3rd I'd consider it.

No from NYI. Dufour is looking like a gem.
