Would definitely do the first one. Would think about the second one but leaning towards no.

Isles would never do that Tampa trade. Not worth it.

We're not trading Toews.

Thread: Barzal and Atkinson

Isles wouldn't do that.

I've been thinking, a Barzal-Eichel trade could be very interesting. We could recreate LaFontaine-Turgeon.

Thread: Matheson Saad and shedding

I wonder if Florida would do something like Leddy and Ladd for Matheson. For Florida, they'd upgrade on defense and get out of a long contract. For NYI they downgrade on defense but shed Ladd.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 12 at 1:05

Thread: NYI MTL Trades

Isles won't retain on Leddy, but it's not a bad offer at no retention.

I don't disagree that Parise is better than Ladd, that's a given. I just don't want the cap complications. We're not in a position to add cap.

Thread: Can they sign everyone without trades

I highly doubt it. A few things would need to happen.

- Barzal takes a very friendly bridge deal.
- Pulock takes less than market value.
- Ladd gets sent to Robidas Island
- Varlamov gets bought out (his buyout is very friendly but not likely)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Warrior24</b></div><div>Players that should be gone next year:

Bailey
Leddy
Komarov
Martin
Dal Colle
Kuhnacakal
Greiss
Hickey
Ladd (If the attached asset is not too much)

Bellows- Barzal- Eberle
Lee-Nelson-Wahlstrom
Beau-Pageau- New 3rd Line RW (Maybe Leddy for Connolly in FLA)
Johnston-Czizkas-Clutterbuck

Pelech-Pulock
Toews-Mayfield
Greene/ Edmundson-Dobson
Boychuck (Maybe on LTIR)</div></div>

I think we can keep Bailey, but everyone else agreed. I like your lineup, but I don't want Johnston playing every day. Leddy for Connolly is interesting. I wonder if the Panthers would give up on him just one year into a four-year deal.

Yeah, I'm starting to sour on the Parise idea. Just not worth it. There are other ways to get rid of Ladd.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>niko</b></div><div>I sincerely hope that the Ladd/Parise talks die out</div></div>

Yeah that's not the deal the Isles were willing to make, otherwise that would've happened. There was a lot of salary retention talks.

I do think the Isles and Wild could be good trading partners though.

Thread: Hopefully Tonights Lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Komarov cannot handle playing center. I would go with Ladd - koivula -clutterbuck 4th line. At least koivula can win faceoffs and is solid positionally.</div></div>

Agreed. Koivula will play that spot over Komarov, but I think Trotz likes Komarov and Koivula playing together. Is Clutterbuck playing tonight? If not, my lines would be:

Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beauvillier-Nelson-Brassard
Ladd/MDC-Pageau-Bailey
Martin-Koivula-Komarov

If Clutterbuck is playing, I'd do:

Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beauvillier-Nelson-Brassard
Komarov-Pageau-Bailey
Martin-Koivula-Clutterbuck

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 27 at 11:09

Thread: Game 1 if the islanders make the playoffs

I completely agree with this. For the playoffs, Ladd/Komarov is going to play over the other options (MDC/Bellows/Johnston). It depends on who performs better in the regular season when everyone is healthy. My guess is Komarov will play 3LW since he can PK, but I don't disagree that if Ladd can show he can still play that he would fit well in that spot.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 26 at 10:54

Thread: 20-21 maybe these contracts

I want a bridge deal for Barzal. He'll get less money now, but he'll get a guaranteed high QO and a ton of money when we have some bad contracts come off the books (Boychuk, Clutterbuck, Ladd, Komarov, Varlamov).

Pulock will get anywhere between $5.5-6.5M. If he signs for ~$5M, Lou deserves an award and Pulock should fire his agent.

Toews is fair.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 25 at 3:26

Thread: Lines Should the islanders make the playoffs

My guess is:

Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beauvillier-Nelson-Brassard

Martin/Komarov-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

Thread: Lines everyone healthy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Pageau signing is great. He’s only 27 - but it likely means cizikas is gone after next season unless he takes a big discount. Pageau is basically a younger cizikas who’s better on faceoffs and generates more offense.</div></div>

It depends on what Cizikas is willing to sign for, I'd rather keep him. We'll see there. I think this is more that we can now trade Koivula.

This is a damn good lineup. Let's go!

I would like to get Gaudreau, but it would be to add, not upgrade on Bailey.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 20 at 11:03

Thread: Just push certain guys out of the lineup

Can't see Lou trading for Kovalchuk. I think we would've signed him.

Yes to Grant.

Yes to Namestnikov, but he's not really a center. If we make the Grant and Namestnikov moves, I'd make the lines:

Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beauvillier-Nelson-Brassard
Namestnikov-Grant-Bailey
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck (assuming they're healthy at or around the deadline)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cshaken</b></div><div>Im a Sens fan. I was quickly researching prospects that the Isles have, do you think they are good prospects</div></div>

I do. I think Bolduc has Pelech-like potential. A big, defensive LHD. The type of guy you can pair with the Doughtys, the Pietrangelos, the Karlssons, but don't really have high ceilings.

Newkirk I've taken an interest in. Seems like he'll be a good energy center, similar to Cizikas.

That being said, they're prospects, and we need help now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>niko</b></div><div>What do you consider to be the ?? about him</div></div>

His injury this year was a little weird, so at first glance it's concerning. But Devon Toews had a similar injury and he's had zero injury issues since, so if I'm another team I wouldn't worry about it.

Thread: Falling apart DET OTT MTL

Slight overpayment to OTT but I'm for it.

Nothing against getting Nate Thompson. Sure. We need depth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Detroit says hell yes, And it might be over-payment but that's the cost of doing business in the Conference.</div></div>

I think the picks need to be changed. Either drop the 3rd, or change the 1st to a 2nd. Or the Red Wings need to take Ladd or Hickey's contract. But something with Wilde and Koivula for AA is something I'd be interested in. There's definitely something there.

Love the Pageau deal. I'm in favor.

I like Jesper Fast, but can't see us making a deal like that with the Rangers.

Thread: 1 fer 1

I'm definitely in favor of this for NYI. Wilde comes from a position of strength (RHD) where we would add to a position of weakness (center). Not sure how VGK would feel about this, but I'm for it.
