What are the Islanders plan? Retool or Rebuild? Or a combo of both?

Would you trade someone like Horvat and if you do, what kind of return are you looking for?

Age 29-36 years left at $8.5M AAV.

I have an offer but going to wait to see what the comments are for his value first. Does a young center and valuable futures work or are you looking for a 1/1 hockey trade?
 
I don't think NYI will move what should be a fine contract, even if NYI retool. Rebuild isn't in the cards, and it shouldn't be.

I'm pretty old so this comparison isn't from looking at numbers, but at watching the players - Horvat reminds me a lot of Rod Brindamour. Maybe a bit more speed, and a bit less strength than Rod had. The point is, I think he's the kind of athlete who ages well, and 8.5M for a 2nd line center will be fine.

You clearly don't know Lou Lamoriello. He's too stubborn to understand the terms "retool" or "rebuild."

If he was GM of the Sharks he might trade their first for a nice two-way character forward.

I know who Lou is and they were simple questions.

So trying to acquire Horvat with futures as the prime values is not in the cards right?

Not trying to be a jerk, but if you truly knew who Lou is than you'd already have the answer to your question.
 
They're 7-3-0 over their last 10 and moving into the wild card spot. I'd say the plan right now is to hold tight on their players.
