Weekes: Four Islanders moves coming

[nbwingsfan]

Dobson will be a Norris contender next year. The Islanders know this. They are not trading him.

Which of Makar, Fox, Hedman, Seider, Ekblad, Heiskanen, Hughes, Josi, etc is he beating to contend for the Norris?

 

[STL fan in MN]

Technically, Weekes can’t be wrong here. With a timeline of infinity, every team will complete 4 transactions eventually.

 

[Dan Kelly]

I also wouldn't be shocked to see them make multiple transactions as they have 3 RFAs unsigned. #insider

Right, the 4 moves will be to re-sign guys like Dobson, Romanov and Bellows, then officially announce the signing of Kadri. Earth shattering new, hey?

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Is Kadri with more than 7x7?

First three years, probably.

Last four years, probably not.

 

[benedictTavares]

Going to be lit when the 4 transactions are AHL movements and signings.

That's 8 names. Which of those 8 won't be contenders? There are always more contenders than just the 3 finalists. Dobson will be joining that list.

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

Why is Seider on here?

 

[Zeeker]

Why is Seider on here?

He almost got away with it

Naming D that are clearly ahead of Dobson. He clearly is. Would you like me to add more to the list?

 

[Big Muddy]

A lot at stake for Kevin Weekes' career after his 2 year miles wood blunder.

LOL. Weekes has a gig on NHL Network.

 

[Grub]

This is like the longest running soap opera…

Just make the moves Lou!

We have a soap opera in Canuckland as well. Lots of talk but not a lot of stuff getting done.

 

[ForsbergForever]

Fun fact: Lou Lam will be 80 years old on Oct. 21, at which point he will be the first octogenarian GM in league history.

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

 

[Breakers]

Do something

 

[leeroggy]

Man, if Lou makes 2-3 actual hockey trades, like rebalancing the wingers for more goal scoring and less passers, this Board will self-immolate.

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Didn't Weekes say that Eichel was getting traded for Matthew Tkachuk too?

 

[SnizzNasty88]

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

Any sources or links?

That was a fire in rural Ontario

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 know they leagalized that stuff in Canada but smoking and posting things like this isn’t the best of ideas.

 

[PuckNorris]

Bet you barzal gets moved.

Dang he's almost old enough to be a US president.
