Thread: Norris

I love Josh Norris but not at his contract. Isles can't take on more cap.

Thread: DNVR draft picks are for losers

Would rather have Ritchie than another 1st, but it really doesn't matter. This is good for the Islanders.

Oh, I haven't seen those. In that case, I'd happily take it. But I also didn't realize in your trade we're giving up a 1st. That doesn't make sense.

All of these are realistic except Dallas. I wish they would do it, but I have a hard time thinking they'd trade Stankoven.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Badgm91</b></div><div>Nelson (50% retained) and Wahlstrom who comes with upside for a first and a bag of chips? I'll pass.</div></div>

I don't know too much about how Brisson has done since being drafted, but he was a monster at Michigan (my brother went to Michigan and I went to Quinnipiac, so we watch college hockey when we can). His one-timer from his off-wing was deadly. I think he'd be a great prospect back in a trade for Brock.

Isles can't retain on Nelson if they're moving him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swissmontana</b></div><div>I would love Brock, but he's the Islander's leading goal scorer rn and they aren't rebuilding, and the cap is a real mess next season if landy comes back. and with each passing week, seems like he's coming back</div></div>

If Lou decides to retool (not rebuild), Nelson is the first to go since he has the most value. He'll likely go for picks/prospects, but those can be used in another deal for a retool.

Thread: What could teams pay

I love Brock Boeser, but Isles desparately need a LW more than a RW.

Thread: RD and Goalie

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>yeah the real poison pill is the Isles would be taking back almost double the cap (sending about just about $7M with Pulock & Wahlstrom, taking back $12.975M with Chabot/Batherson.) I don't think they could even pull this off as a summer trade without having to dump cap elsewhere.</div></div>

We essentially have to move Nelson (good value), Palmieri (no value), and Pelech (probably unmoveable but that's fine). I think Lee could get bought out this off-season, which would save a nice amount.

Honestly, I would love to retool, but it'll be hard. If we do retool, this is the kind of trade I would welcome.'

Also, the amount of "Chabot Shalom" gear Isles fans would have would be amazing.

Thread: RD and Goalie

That's really good value for NYI. I think they'd have to say yes to this.

EDIT: Actually, cap doesn't really work unless we're able to move other contracts.

Agreed, but great value for NYI. Just can't pour our assets into a defenseman.

I love Pettersson but it makes much more sense for NYI to keep Barzal. Shifting from Pettersson to Barzal isn't going to make us that much better of a team.

I looked at his stats after I posted this. Yeah, definitely do not want Weisblatt anymore. But I don't hate the idea of Barabanov.

I like it actually. We'd get a prospect with Barabanov. But agreed with other posts here, would rather get Duclair.

Thread: Who I would be scouting at the Leafs game today if I were Steve Staios

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>for what it's worth on your Isles targets:

-Holmstrom would have the highest price tag. He took some time to warm up but he seems to be developing into a solid everyday NHLer with some decent amount of cheap team control left. Isles have a ton of big contracts with term so a cheap guyw ho can hold his own is worth his weight in gold.

-Wahlstrom is probably gettable although management was talking about giving him more run - whether that's to showcase him for a trade or to try and finally get some offense out of him remains to be seen. I think the return for him is probably another "change of scenery" roster player - I would think something like Wahlstrom & old Sens friend Mike Reilly for Brannstrom would be a decent framework (including Reilly to make the cap basically even.)

-I like MacLean (first NHL goal tonight) but I don't know how much value he has. Probably a 4th liner at best so I don't know what the return would be if the Isles want to trade him - feels like an add-on more than anything. Maybe Wahlstrom & MacLean for Brannstrom + a mid-rounder works?</div></div>

This is a good assessment. Although, as crazy as this sounds, I'm not trading Mike Reilly. He's looked really good as an Islander. I'd rather just keep him than add him into a trade.

I don't hate the Wahlstrom and MacLean for Brannstrom and a mid-rounder idea, although I think we'd be better off just keeping them at that price.

And yeah, we're not moving Holmstrom.
