Why not extend him today with a nice team friendly 3 year deal and then trade him …. Silly rightWhy not trade Nelson and then just re sign him as a UFA

Lou going to re-sign all these vets well into their 40’s. He loves this group
They don’t suck. Just the collective together isn’t working. Core has run its course. Time to re-tool get youngerBut they suck.

Teams sucks but not all the players. When I said “they” I was referring to the the guys that could/should be tradedWhen a core is not working guess what, it means the team sucks.
I believe even with the cap going up there isnt enough room for Nelson at lets say 6.5 m due to the required in house RFA's needing deals (dobber , romanov , holmstrom , tsyp )Why not extend him today with a nice team friendly 3 year deal and then trade him …. Silly right
Nelsons gotta go to UFA hes gunna get wayy more then he should. Stephenson style.
Im saying he should go to UFA because he will get overpaid. Im not sure why this is taken as a slight on Nelson. I think Chicago would be one of the teams to do it. Id be happy about it.He deserves whatever he can get and if it’s way more than he should that’s a “ says you “.
His family is part of hockey royalty and he has been an all time great Islander. He never hardly ever misses a game and is never a distraction off the ice . This guy ages like fine wine getting better as he gets older. I know you will just look at point totals but he has always had hot cold streaks like probably most nhl players . At seasons end he will have his 25+ goals and 25+ assists ..LGI
More than likely he takes a discount to play for the Wild and try and bring Minnesota their first cup. His uncle was on the Miracle On Ice team and his grandfather won gold in 1960 as well. He can add to his family's legacy by bringing a cup home.This, combined with the fact that the Wild have no cap space means that probably he does not go there in season. Dallas, Washington, Colorado are where I think he's most likely to land.Nelsons gotta go to UFA hes gunna get wayy more then he should. Stephenson style.
Minton plus 2ndBrock Nelson thread number 8675309. 1st plus prospect is still what im expecting if he’s moved. If no 1st, an NHL ready prospect who’s not a bottom of the roster player plus something.
There are any number of players on WPG that Brock would fit with. But wouldn't he get lost there? Is Lowry out long term?Nelson would thrive on a line with Ehlers!!!!

FYI Islanders have had their top two RHD go down long term this week, as well as their double backup goalie (backup was already injured). Even with the winning streak, I think it just became much more likely they actually sell Nelson.
We have a kind of beat reporter-ish guy whose sources are saying that teams want to see him perform at the 4 Nations tourney before he's dealt to make sure he's healthy and whatnot. He's got 10 points in his last 8 NHL games, you'd think that would be enough but whatever
Dave Christian. His full name is Brock Christian NelsonWho is his uncle?
Wow. That's fantastic. I remember Christian from that team. He scored on his first shift in the NHL if memory serves. Yes, I'm that old.Dave Christian. His full name is Brock Christian Nelson
