Weekes: Four Islanders moves coming

[bert]

Little bit of smoke out there that Kerfoot and Holl are heading to the Islanders

Leaf fans collective wishful thinking. There are enough of them if they wish hard enough it will come true!

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

I would say they are comparable but clearly ahead of dobson? Take the homer shades off.

Seider>>>>>>>>McAvoy

 

[Chardo]

I don’t really consider a guy who will be borderline (at best) a top 10D a contender but suppose how you look at it

Would you have put Fox on that list 2 years ago? Dobson is 2 years younger than Fox. His development and skill set have been remarkably similar. Dobson last year showed many of the things Fox showed 3 years ago, his first full year in the league. The next year he won the Norris. Anyone who has actually watched Dobson knows he will be one of the elites next year.

Whatever you say big guy. Everyone knows Fox development is definitely the norm and all players will follow said development.

Seider looked like Pronger out there, guess that’s what we should all expect too, no?

Maybe? I am glad you feel the need to defend your guy til the ends of the earth. You have a great young D and I am happy you are super proud.

Seider>>>>>>>>McAvoy

McAvoy is missing half the season and clearly won’t be in the Norris race.

Try and keep up with the news big fella.

Seider will get there too, before long. Very special player.

Bet you barzal gets moved.

You’re a few years late. He got moved from Seidenberg’s basement to his own place after his rookie season.

 

[majormet]

I see Kane trade for picks, Bailey and Holmstrom
Dobson resigned
Romanov resigned
Calvin De haan signed

Or it could be
Radek Martinek is signed
Dennis Seidenberg is signed
Andy Greene is signed
and
Cody rosen is signed as a goalie

The room was never the same without DJ Carp Lad.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Pacioretty is a good player, Bjorkstrand is a good player, Brown a good player, Fleury was a good player, etc , etc. all traded for peanuts

Teams under massive cap constraints (like NYI will be if they want Kadri) trade away players like Pageau all the time.

Pageau is a good player who isn’t worth his contract and no team will pay anything of value for that in a flat cap.


“Zero value”

So Huberdeau had “zero value” before he re-signed with Calgary?

Either NYI get a chance to sign a very good player in Bert if he likes it there, or they flip him for another 1st +

Both of your scenarios are rare especially acquiring a top 6 forward in a trade only to flip them. Like I said bert has value with an agreed extension in place otherwise in a deal like this he doesn't fit and has very little value.

Maybe Lou is waiting for his RFAs to shave before he gives them their after-QO offer.

 

[LeapOnOver]

Do you feel that breeze over your head?

 

[nbwingsfan]

Do you feel that breeze over your head?

nope you just weren’t paying attention. I listed players right now who are clearly more likely than Dobson to have a Norris NEXT season (among other D that were omitted). McAvoy clearly will not be on that list when missing half of a season.

Try and pay a little more attention next time so I don’t have to explain things to you again.

Care to pass the j ?

 

[AcerComputer]

Water is wet (E5)

 

[Dan Kelly]

Younger, almost exact same offensive output (despite Dobsons third year to Seiders first) and better by pretty much all defensive metrics?

Yeah no one’s taking Dobson over Seider.

I will !

 

[jetsforever]

4 is even more than 3!

 

[Sparksrus3]

4 is even more than 3!

One is the loneldest number that you’ll ever do
two can be as bad as one

 

[Qubax]

Noah Dobson is going to be a Top 10 NHL D in 18 months, so no...he won't be going out to make cap space

 

[JoeSakic13]

Are these trades across the next few years?

 

[Neiler]

I get that there's some hype around the Kadri situation right now but I believe the Islanders typically do multiple contracts in a day so this tweet is likely nothing more than that. Don't hate on Weekes for it - he's just saying what he's hearing and I think people are reading too much into it because of the Kadri chatter.

Examples:

September 1, 2021: The team has signed Anthony Beauvillier, Casey Cizikas, Kyle Palmieri and Ilya Sorokin sign multi-year contracts.

September 20, 2021: The New York Islanders have agreed to terms on contracts with Andy Andreoff, Cole Bardreau, Otto Koivula, Paul LaDue and Dmytro Timashov.

Contact signings != transactions.
Weekes calls for 4 TRANSACTIONS, not 4 "moves" (OP title misleading)
Read the tweet people !

Beauvilier to MTL for a 4th being one ? (#cap, #Kane)
(Price &/or Byron LTIRetire)

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Why is Seider on here?

Because he's a homer red wings fan.

Not sure if English is your mother tongue, but the tweet is correct.

In English (compared to French), a transaction includes signings. That being said, it still could be 4 trades!
