Proposal: Blues - isles

[LamorielloAndSon]

This mindset is far too prevalent among the Islander fan base and it needs to stop. Not only because of what you pointed out, giving a rookie top pair minutes but because of the depth it leaves behind him.

NICK LEDDY IS NOT THE PROBLEM get that through your damn heads

The problem is behind Nick Leddy you've got a traffic cone and a miniature toy traffic cone. Replacing the teams best LD (by a mile) with a rookie does not solve that problem. Now, you want to talk about replacing Hickey or Pelech with Toews? THAT is smart...

Leddy - Boychuk
Toews - Pulock
hickey - Mayfield

And I'd still be looking for another D to replace one of the bottom pairing, and preferably Pelech.

Fixed

Fixed

Putting the Hick back in our top 6 fixes nothing. We would then need to replace both him and Pelech.
Oh, and Toews belongs with Mayfield.

I'd prefer getting rid of Hickey somehow, call up Aho and let him battle with Pelech for the #3LD spot.

Sbisa is waiver fodder at this point.

Hickey is a good dman, pelech isn’t

No, he is not a good dman.
Pelech may become one, but that ship has sailed on our Hick.
