Thread: Isles 2020-21
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>Hey man, inspired by another AGM. I tested it out with NSH and it seemed pretty good on your side. With this roster you'd have $4M+ in cap space.

Forsberg-Johansen-Arvidsson
Grimaldi-Duchene-Duclair ($3M)
Bellows-Sissons-Kunin ($2.85M)
Cousins-Koivula-Komarov

Josi-Ellis
Ekholm-Fabbro
Borowiecki-Benning

Saros
Rinne

Hickey
Richardson
Trenin

Would it be better if Hickey and Tinordi were taken out?</div></div>

Komarov + Hickey are both cap dumps and have negative value. Jarnkrok has positive value and is signed for $2m for two more years during a flat cap. Neither Bellows or Koivula are very exciting prospects and both likely max out as 3rd liners if lucky, so not really sure that they make it enticing enough for NSH to take on all of that salary and term.

Thread: Guerin is the GM
Isles would not do that trade for a variety of reasons:

1) If the rumors are true and they signed Brassard, they now have 16 NHL Forwards (not including Ladd as I assume he is on LTIR next year). They would need to trade NHL roster forwards in order to make room for Zucker.

Lee-Barzal- Eberle
Beau-Nelson-Bailey
Dal Colle-Brassard-Komarov
Martin- Czizkas-Clutterbuck

Ho-Sang, Fritz, Johnston, Kuhnackal, Ladd

2) You mentioned Wahlstrom isn't the prospect he once was, I completely disagree with this statement. He is a top tier W prospect and the Isles best forward prospect. Erickson Ek is not the prospect he once was, he has not been very succesful in his NHL opportunities. Ek would be of no interest to the Isles as he would essentially be the same player as Dal Colle or Ho-Sang, a high draft pick who could still potential find a spot in the NHL but has shown very little so far.

3) Zucker's salary is not outrageous but the Isles cannot take on another long term $5M+ salary as they need to sign Barzal, Pulock, Toews next year. They already need to think about how to move salary out like Leddy to ensure they have space to sign all of those players who are core to the team.

Thread: Replace Lou
A Cizikas is going to be the third line center, so really now they are looking for a 4th line center
B. hate to break it to you but until belmont is built, no UFA's are coming here.
C. he brought in the second best active coach in the league. there is no fuggin way in hell, Garth would have been able to convince Trotz to come here.
D. a Leddy trade for a top 6 wing is going to be stalled until Gardiner signs a deal, because the teams who lose out on him will be looking for leddy or equivelent in the trade market
E. Lou has turned the organizational culture around, which anyone who has ever been in the business world knows that is the foundation of success.
F. look at how disfunctional the leafs as an organization have become since lou left: infighting, Player/contracts disputes, lack of identity
