Speculation: Islanders General Rumour, Trade, Free Agent and Waiver Speculation...

[doublechili]

Hey, Snow also had it all figured out, and he built a cup contender!

I still can't believe we let him go after success like that.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Me too, me too. Go big.

That’s the M$L, Lou, and Trotz special. Culture change.

 

[NineHoleGoal]

Karlsson, Anderson, Pageau
For
Both firsts, Bellows, Nelson, Griess

No way do I give up Bellows. He's going to score a lot of goals in the NHL. I want to see him with Barzal.

It's Bellows, we aren't talking about giving up Barzal or even Beau. You have to give to get. Karlsson single handidly changes the entire complex of the team.

 

[BelovedIsles]

I’m ok w giving up Bellows for a signed Karlsson, depends on the package.

Not liking this Anderson chatter, I can tell you that much.

Want a proven starter or platoon goalie. Re-sign Halak IMHO over Anderson; he’s trending downward hard.

 

[BMOK33]

Anderson is very inconsistent. We sort of saw it in the 2017 playoffs. At his age I wouldn’t do it and also the process is crazy for him and he also has an NTC

 

[sabremike]

There are probably like 5 goalies in the whole league who are reliable sure things. Everyone else is a total crapshoot, the position is completely random and it's a very bad idea to give up a ton of assets for one.

Because I am confident that Tavares isn't signing with any team until at least Wednesday, I won't mention his situation. That said here's what I want this weekend basically in order

1. No trading 11 or 12 for a goalie unless he's Tuukka Rask or better (and signed for at least 2 more years)
2. I'm not keen on Grubauer at all, so if we trade for him please no more than a 2nd+ a drop more for him.
3. No Karlsson trade without an extension agreed to
4. No Pacioretty at all.
5. Nelson dealt.
6. No Craig Anderson.
7. At least 1 top-4 defenseman added.
8. One of Cizikas, Ladd, Clutterbuck, or Boychuck contracts moved.
9. Pulock kept unless dealt for an all-star.
10. No trading 2 or more good assets for a forward unless he's elite...And then a current Islanders forward to dealt as part of a deal for a D/goalie.

If we stay on that track I will be most excited.

I agree with all of your bullet points.

 

[Sensung]

Just a quick note to say how happy I am to see things turn around for the long suffering Islander fans!

Hope JT re-signs!

Well in fairness...I think Lou is heavily leaning on the previous scouting staff this weekend. It's why I think he's looking to deal the picks, but the Isles will make some of them.

Wouldn't mind Anderson if he came along with Karlsson. Zero chance Ladd or Boychuck get moved with the NTCs. Pulock I would certainly keep. Otherwise agreed.

 

[GarfSnowed]

Grubs to Colorado

 

[KidThatWonTheCalder]

Just posted this in the JT thread... Kinda pissed we didn't do this for a 2nd.

 

[PWJunior]

Damn HF crashing.

 

[eoin92]

Damn HF crashing.

So annoying. I thought they switched to this platform so it wouldn’t crash?

 

[WangMustGo]

Now go make a move for Varamov. He's a very good goalie, just a bit injury prone. You need a good backup with him.

Not sure Lou wanted to take on oprik. Pretty sure that was why they only got a second.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Dobson and wahlstrom at 11 and 12. What steals guys!

My boy Lou ain't no fool...

 

[periferal]

Thing about Lou is...He's happy to share the broad strokes...Just no details.

 

[CREW99AW]

My boy Lou ain't no fool...

Gotta admit I was worried Lou would zone in on Grubs and overpay because the goalie market is meh.

 

[CREW99AW]

Both Trotz and Lou have said they want a speedy and skilled team. During last night's draft,rumors were reported that the nyi were kicking the tires on Skinner and MaxPac.

Are we going to see Lee moved out and a speedier winger bought in?

Kovalchuk in, Lee out if that's the case.

Forget Skinner and MaxPac.
