@StapeNewsday I'm telling you Snow is up to something. Same source said Flames GM Brad Treliving met GS for lunch in NY.


Mikey Sausage is a comedian with a bunch of followers on twitter... so who knows, the Islanders beat writer seems to be engaging with him on the rumor talk.

The source he is quoting apparently told him that the Islanders are going to trade Strome, Pulock, Barzal and a pick for Kucherov and Kucherov has agreed to terms with the Islanders. Same source he claims to have passed along knowledge of the Boychuk and Leddy trades before they happened.

Also this guy is comedic host in nyc

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

I'd really like Kucherov but my god is that a lot to give up.

And yeah is it Isles-Flames or Isles-Bolts?

 

[belair]

Gaudreau to TB, Kucherov to NYI, and the futures to CGY.

The boards would explode.

 

[DCDM]

If the Sausage King says it, it must be true.

 

[Mike Jones]

If Treliving is in the area negotiation with Gaudreau and his agent then why wouldn't he have a sit down with other area GMs? Are we going to see tweets about his coffee and latte meetings with the Devils' and Rangers' GMs too? It's just colleagues getting together for some face time. It doesn't really mean something is cooking.

Treliving has been trying to unload Smids contract for awhile. Wouldn't surprise me if he gives the Islanders something to take the contract. Maybe a pick.

Why would the Isles ever take Smid? He isn't good enough to make the team and the Isles are trying to compete now.

 

[McOvechking]

That's a ridiculous haul for Kucherov.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Could also be Snow that initiated the meeting.

"Hey what would it take to get Gaudreau?"

Doesn't mean much, if anything.

They traded a NY hot dog for a Canadian Beaver Tail?

Because he is going to be on LTIR.

Defensive depth is often more important than a strong top-4.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Yeah. If a more reliable source says something, we can re-open this.
