He would be a great top 6 addition.An upgrade on Nelson.
1 major concern though...he and Tavares share the same agent and Duchene has said he is intrigued by the Tavares ufa process.
The further we get to July 1st, the less likely he is to bypass the ufa market.

No the isles wouldn't imo. There are teans lacking a #1C who might overpay for Duchene. Isles are grooming Barzal for that #1 role and are not desperate enough to overpay

Thats a good point, while I think duechene would be a great fit for islanders.... would be awful if they traded away assets just for duechene to leave in the offseason.

We are having a discussion on the nyi board, about whether Lou would move top assets for a rental.
There was a draft weekend tweet on the nyi board,that Lou walked away from a potential EK trade because EK was not interested in an NYI extension.
Imo the nyi were probably more desperate at that time to swing a major deal. Hoping to sway Tavares and boost the roster .
If the isles were not willing to move high end pieces for 1 season of EK,I do not see them moving high end pieces for a 1/2 season of Duchene .
Comes back to whether Duchene is willing to sign an extension .
Ye for a rental pass on giving up Dobson. Don’t see Lou giving up his major assets for a rental.

Personally I think the islanders will go hard for Panarin as a free agent.

Yes,I am aware of that.
Some team lacking a #1C,may be willing to give up a top bluechip prospect like Dobson.
But,the isles with 21 yr old Barzal, are not desperate enough to make that sort of overpayment for Duchene

Do you see this season's nyi as a serious SC contender, able to get past power house TB ,with the addition of Duchene?
I don't
No I dont, but with the system that trotz has them playing I have no idea lmao. I’m not an islanders fan but I follow the team. I wouldn’t move picks/prospects for futures if I was in control of the team. I thought they would be a top 10 lock for a pick this year, but they still definitely need an influx of young skilled guys, no matter if they make the playoffs or not, so you’re right
If the Islanders could do a trade and sign I would be all for going after Duchene since he is exactly what we need but that being said I don't see Duchene signing with anybody before July 1 so it's a moot point
If I had to do an Islanders needs list it would go
1. 1b or #2 center who is good on faceoffs
2. Top pairing defenseman, preferably left handed
Sad thing is Panerin and Bobrovski are the 2 guys I can see most likely willing to sign here, but neither are the guys who fill specific needs(although you might make a case for Bobrovski, that the Islanders lack a top 10 goalie). My guess though is Panerin signs with the Rangers

I do not see them as a serious SC contender at this point, with or without Duchene.
So,while I would want Lou kicking the tires on Duchene, I would expect Lou to once again ask the Sens player if he interested in an extension.

Working closely with Brisson, Duchene is gonna want a bonus filled, front loaded contract.
Neither Duchene or the Sens GM seem fazed by the reported lack of extension talks. It sure looks like he go through the Tavares ufa process.
