Value of: Brock Nelson & Kyle Palmieri

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Zibanejad for Nelson straight up

NYI and NYR couldn't do that on principle lol

 

[MinJaBen]

Not a fan of either, but I'll try.

Kotkaniemi
Roslovic
2025 1st
J. Blake

Three current roster players and a first?!? Show me any trade deadline trade that brought that. A first and a good prospect and maybe something else is the usual for a UFA of Brock’s caliber at the deadline. Probably should look at Lindholm’s return last year as a guideline.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Roslovic is nothing meaningful in a trade, positive or negative. Generic player with an expiring contract at a modest cap hit. That's salary retention in a different form.

Carolina going the major rental route again is a bit dubious to me. It's not even about internal philosophy in this case. Top teams around the league generally don't take a big shot year after year like that.

An extension is a probably part of the conversation and whatever value bump you want to argue comes with that.

EDIT: Not directed at anyone in particular.

Islanders need to move out most folks there.

Barrel, Horvat, Dobson, Pulock, Sorokin should be keepers

The rest, use to make a hard press for a rebuild.

Retain on Lee, but get the rebuild under way ASAP

Trade JGP at the TDL as well. Then separate Barzal from Horvat and have to roll centers as follows:

Horrible idea. Back to the drawing board.

Yes, but I'd switch Pulock for Romanov in the keeper section.

Such constructive criticism. You act like I suggest putting Matt Martin at Center.

Barrel? Like where people put those monkey toys that hook together?

"Something else" would prob be a replacement level roster player to balance salary. Beauvillier was that guy in the Horvat trade, who knows who it could be in a potential Nelson trade but they'd figure it out. I don't think Isles get a Raty level prospect in a Nelson trade, maybe a tier below, but who knows. Nelson has been very consistent, averaging around 35 goals the last few years, and he's solid in the playoffs too.

I can't see Kotkaniemi being involved here at all. If they drop Nelson they're not taking on a six year contract, cap and roster flexibility is more valuable.

I figured Nelson would re-sign tbh.

Except Canes don't re-sign guys at 34 years old (which he'll be on his next contract) unless they are bargain/short term deals. Someone else will offer him more IMO.

Tampa could use Palmieri maybe have him half retained at the TDL and they send back Sheary and 2 2nds, not that Palmieri is worth 2 2nds but Sheary being a cap dump has an extra year, the isles can replace Palmieri with Sheary which is a downgrade and in return get 2 2nds which they normally would not get for him at this stage in his career, and the Lightning can bolster their top 6 and maybe even re-sign him to a team friendly deal, also the Lightning imo have the best shot in the east to win the cup especially if they add a top 6 forward.

Orlov? Sorry, he was a UFA.

Why can't the Hurricanes sign him to a similar deal to Orlov?

Need, chance for a Cup?

Someone may offer more, but he gets the choice where he goes(NTC). I'd guess he'd be ok going to Carolina.
