Salary Cap: A Realistic Look at the Isles Cap Situation (Why I want to trade Dobson)

[Arsenalogist24]

Big increase in the cap like this would def make it easier to move on from 1 of JGP or Lee, if we go that route. I’ve been wanting to see Pelech get moved on from also and this increase would maybe maybe get that done too. Lots of term

Depends what kind of influence Roy has on Lou in regards to extending Nelson and Palmieri .

if they talk everyday I'd imagine the topic has been brought up once or twice .

This topic is why Lou should go - Not Dobson.

While it's fun to speculate, so much depends on where the Isles stand at the trade deadline and how willing the owners are to move on from Lou. If the Isles are in or very close to a playoff spot, I can't see Lou or the owners approving a sell-off of Nelson and Palmieri. Playoff games bring in a lot of revenue and I think a lot of hockey guys think that once you get in, anything can happen. Hell, it happened for this team twice recently in reaching the conference finals.
I would hope that Lou is leaving any contract discussion with Nelson and Palmieri to the end of the season, while hopefully having preliminary discussions with Romanov and Dobson. Given Dobson's bad year, it wouldn't surprise me to see a one year deal, because Lou's got to be worried about a massive contract for him, while Dobson and his agent have to be concerned about how much this year is costing him.
