Doesn’t matter whatever team that has cap space and is looking for picks

They had a good run at the end of the year and I know a lot of people thought they would make the jump last year. They also have the assets to upgrade the goaltending.

I’m just assuming Ottawa isn’t on it. If so then there’s no deal. I’m really looking for feedback value wise and I concede I did overpay here based on past deals. What would you give up for cat?

While taxes often play a role in where a player signs it is not the only factor to take into consideration. Players also decide based on ability to win, quality of life, marketing opportunities, and other things like that. Has Debrincat made any sort of statements that he’s looking to go to a low tax area? I don’t follow Ottawa closely.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Not_Isles5513</b></div><div>Never said you didn’t have to give up something of value.

Not saying he’s better, but this just doesn’t make sense for the Isles imo.</div></div>
He’s a lot younger than Nelson and we lock him up long for long term and finally give barzal the sniper he needs while still having solid center depth down the middle.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Not_Isles5513</b></div><div>Nelson has a 16 Team No Trade List which would instantly kill this trade imo. Also if the isles want to add DeBrincat, it won’t come at the expense of Nelson plus additional assets imo.</div></div>
He is 25 year old sniper with two 40 goal seasons already and he hasn’t hit his prime. Such players aren’t on the market everyday and we’re gonna have to give up something of value especially since we don’t have the prospect pool to compete with other teams. The team gets a lot younger with this trade.

Thread: Horvat Tarasenko

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEarthmaster</b></div><div>Doesn't really look like the Blues will be sellers now but they've got plenty of forward prospects (Neighbors/Bolduc/Snuggerud) and forwards locked up for the foreseeable future (Thomas/Kyrou).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Wahlstrom has the best defensive impact in the top 9, Bailey has been the worst defensive forward in the NHL. Where are you getting your information from?

Wahlstrom and Barzal are out scoring teams 9-3 , barzals goal doesn’t happen without Wahlstrom. They rarely make bad defensive plays.</div></div>
By what metric is he the best defender on the team. He turns the puck over all the time. There’s a reason he plays 10 minutes a game and we can’t blame it on Trotz being stubborn anymore.

Thread: Horvat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Still a bad trade for the isles. A majority of Horvats value is going to be on the Canucks this season , he’s not shooting 21% for the rest of the season.

The isles aren’t 1 player away from contending and playoff teams do not have Josh Bailey on the top line. He’s a line killer

It’s also not Lou’s style to have anyone change positions mid season</div></div>
But they are a goal scorer away from being cup contenders. This team made it to the conference finals two years in a row without a bonafide scorer and played well in the second half last year. This team has a good defense, a vezina caliber goaltender, plenty of depth and physicality, and a bunch of playmakers. Nelson scored 37 goals last year I think he can be good on barzys wing and horvat wouldn’t have to carry the team and sustain a 21% shooting percentage. As for Bailey on the top line it’s because I like palmieris chemistry with pageau and parise and wahlstrom is too much of a defensive liability to play on a line with barzal leaving only Bailey. This team made it to the conference finals with Leo freakin komorov on the 1st line I think they can survive having Bailey on a line with barzal and Nelson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Horvat has never played wing in the NHL - he’s also on a shooting bender, all NHL fans should know that guys who have never been elite scorers will eventually regress to the mean if they’re having a career year.

Not gonna put horvat on the wing. Putting Nelson on a wing with barzal.

Not expecting him to carry the team. Nelson is his teams best scorer and we can move him to barzals wing without sacrificing depth down the middle.

I’d rather them trade Bailey too but it would be much harder to get rid of him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>I did take it up with them.

It's obvious you didn't read my commentary.

In this post, Islanders are dumping Komarov and Hickey at the same price as when Florida dumped Stralman.

There's your answer.

Read my posts more closely before commenting :/</div></div>

Same price they dumped stralman? You are comparing apples to oranges my friend. You want us to give up our top d prospect and another 2nd rounder? In the stralman trade arizona got a second rounder three years from now. They won’t even see him until at least 6-7 years from now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>I'm charging the same price for dumping Komarov and Hickey as Arizona did for having Stralman dumped on them by Florida.

Nothing exorbitant about it.

Saying Stralman is not among those cap dumps on Arizona is a fallacy.

You should know better :/</div></div>

The 2nd for stralman is 2024 that’s 3 years away and whoever they make with that pick likely won’t have any impact until 6-7 years from now.

I feel like if he’s coming back to be a 13f and sit in the press box they had to overpay him. He can still crack the lineup as a 4th liner on many teams.

And we have plenty of depth. In addition to the three guys we have on the bench we have koivula, golyshev, Richard panik, cole bardreau, and we can sign plenty of veterans for minimum deals if we really need to. This is in addition to the guys we have on our bench.
