Yeah, this is a nice move for both teams.

So Isles downgrade two positions?

Thread: Different Target

For all the age comments, he's only 32 and playing at a very high level. You can likely get at least 4 more productive years out of him.

I think we can get a little more than this with Brock at 50%, but like others have said here, if we sell, Nelson should go and we'll get a crazy good return for him.

I mean you're not wrong. If taking on Campbell means we get Draisaitl, I'd sign up real fast.

Thread: Option 1 - add smaller reinforcements

I think the last thing we should pay assets on is a defenseman. I'd rather just roll with Aho and Bolduc in a platoon for the LD3 spot, or we get someone slightly better but can be acquired for cheap (like Riley Stillman or something).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>LD3 is definitely an issue for us. Lindholm would be great but the issue is what his next contract will look like (and how much he would cost to acquire)</div></div>

Lindholm would be nice but I don't know how we can make him work. If we trade Pageau+ for him, Lindholm becomes the 3C, which isn't a good role for him. If he plays RW, we'd have to get another of our RWs out of position. We really really need a LW.

Thread: Mangiapane

Too much from NYI. Wahlstrom can definitely be moved but a 1st for Mangiapane is a lot and we have no cap space to add him. CGY would have to take salary back.

I've really liked the idea of bringing in Huberdeau. Sometimes it just doesn't work out with a franchise. I still believe he can be the player he was in Florida (not his 2022 year but better than what he's been in CGY).

I'd pounce on that for NYI. The Buchnevich revenge games against NYR as an Islander would be amazing to see.

While the Senators are definitely not going to be sellers, I doubt the Islanders trade Maggio. We're so thin on prospects and he looks legit.

That's slight overpay for Lindholm, but can he play wing? If yes, Isles would certainly be more interested.

I'm excited for Iskhakov but he's not ready yet. Maybe a mid-season call-up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BsInOttawa</b></div><div>Cap doesn't work. NYI would have to do 45% retention on Pageau.

I think if they're going to end up trading Pinto, it probably looks something like the OP though, not bringing Pageau back. Though Pageau was loved in Ottawa.</div></div>

Oof, yeah Isles can't retain.

I mean, Raymond would be a welcome addition to NYI. This would be a no-brainer. But I don't see any reason why Detroit would move him.

Thread: Competing this year

Isles are pretty stacked at RW if Barzal is slated to start there. Depth is Barzal-Wahlstrom-Palmieri-Fasching-Clutterbuck-Gauthier. We desperately need a LW a lot more than a RW.

Thread: Opening night - Islanders

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>chealy2</b></div><div>Nelson will be the 2C and Horvat will be the 1C with Barzal and Lee on his wings, plus Fasching will be in over Ross.

Lee-Horvat-Barzal
Engvall-Nelson-Palmieri
Wahlstrom-Pageau-Fasching
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck</div></div>

I'd like to see Wahlstrom and Palmieri swap. Palmieri has played LW before and has had nice chemistry with Pageau. Wahlstrom has never played out of position before and I want him to be put in a position to succeed. Plus, I always found it fascinating how Nelson plays really well with other goal scorers on his line. I'm sure Nelson would help Wahlstrom tremendously.

Thread: The blockbuster we need

Doesn't make sense for either team, especially NYI.

Isles don't need better goaltending, so there's no reason to upgrade from Sorokin to Vasilevskiy. You can win just as easily with Sorokin as you can with Vasilevskiy, even if Vasilevskiy is better (although the gap isn't that big).

Tampa doesn't need to move the best goalie in franchise history for a slight downgrade and a (very good) 3C they don't need.

Thread: Maybe

I like Dvorak but it doesn't help NYI. If we're moving Pageau it's for these reasons:

1) Cap space
2) Moving Barzal back to C
3) Acquiring a scoring winger

Dvorak doesn't help with any of those things. I don't know anything about Norlander so can't comment on him.

Thread: Camp Dump Central

Lee is overpaid but he still is effective and had a nice year last year. He had really nice chemistry with Horvat. I think with Lee being the captain and still being fairly productive, he's not someone to salary dump. If you want Palmieri, be my guest.

Nelson doesn't have defensive issues, I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

He's better than every center currently on the Bruins roster.
