Proposal: Isles-Oilers

[Rebuilt]

Josh is a versitile (can play any forward position) 30-40pt defensive player that can slot anywhere in your bottom 9 and PK. Preferably bottom 6

He gets a lot of flak because of where he was drafted and being slightly overpaid.

I disagree. I think he gets flak because he cannot maintain his intensity from one game to the next. If he could, he would ultra valuable to the Islanders and no way you would trade him .

Ive seen games where Bailey is one of the best players on both sides of the ice..........then others hes a card board cut out. Over and over again the dual personality. It doesnt seem to happen shift to shift, but game to game.

If he had any intensity he would be more than a 30-40pt defensive forward.

If I'm moving yak, NYI are on the bottom of the list. It'll be a similiar return no matter what but to **** with the NYI(yes I'm still salty about their conduct during the hamonic saga)

Yeah. Those darn Isles. Refusing to move Hamonic for packages of Fayne/Davidson/Yak

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

The OP is a notorious Bailey hater, he's the President of the anti-Bailey fan club actually. It's as if Bails stole his girlfriend or something. Did he Slapshot?

Jokes on you, I've never have a girlfriend!

Wait...

Don't forget about that other dude that starts with an E.

Yay another Oilers proposal to make fun of.

So in this senseless proposal we have the Oilers trading nearly worthless Yakupov to the Islanders for overrated and overpaid Bailey.

Wow that would really suck for the Oilers.

How about this:

Oilers trade Yakupov (1/2 salary retained) for a conditional pick. More points Yak scores the better the pick Edmonton gets in return.

< 40 points = 4th rounder
> 40 points = 3rd rounder
> 45 points = 2nd rounder

h:

Oh I am getting old. Losing my memory. I forgot about the guy whose name starts with E

Bailey is solid defensively, disappointing offensively and disapppears for long stretches.
He is not overrrated or overpaid.

Not that I care all that much anymore, but someone else went there first and we're just responding to him.

An Oiler fan bought Hamonic and the isles front office into this thread.
Maybe you ought to give him the warning?

I know I'm actually chuckling right now. That **** got crazy for a bit.

Who cares about pass deals that never happen . I am sure there tons of deal discussed every off season with 90% them never happening . Teams still do deals even when 5 other deals may not have worked out . NYI were smart to keep Hamonic and trading him for a winger would of been the dumbest thing to do as wingers are the easiest position to fill thru UFA

Exactly, deals take a lot of work to happen. It was just funny because it seemed like it would never end.

Hamonic is a good player, NYI did the right thing keeping him.

Meh, I'd say he's overpaid at 3.3

He's worth probably somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million

Strome

It's amusing how much hate Bailey gets.

 

[snipes]

It's amusing how much hate Bailey gets.

What are his strengths/weaknesses, I haven't seen him play much or studied his game.

 

[belair]

He's a natural center. Good two-way game. He can LW and center effectively.

Basically this OP gives the Oilers a solid NHL player for one that can't put it together. To be honest, NYI takes all the risk.

This natural center has taken 400 draws over the last four seasons. 100 over the last two. And he's **** at them. He's a winger.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Nah. Would rather keep yak or trade him somewhere else.

 

[LordNeverLose]

This natural center has taken 400 draws over the last four seasons. 100 over the last two. And he's **** at them. He's a winger.

And over the 4 years prior to that he took about 2500 lol nice job making an objective timeframe

Also, there's this:

Bailey career FO% -- 43%
McDavid career FO% -- 41%


Looks like its time to play McDavid at wing

So by that same argument, Brent Burns is still a RW then?

After four years I think we can conclude he wasn't good enough at center. NY sure did.

And there's this...

Bailey: Age 27
McDavid: Age 19

When Bailey was McDavid's age his FO% was 41%, just like McDavid. And the reason he was moved to wing is because the Islanders were overflowing with centers, i.e. Tavares, Strome, Nelson, Nielsen, Cizikas, Grabovski, Bailey. It's not cause he sucks at center.

Look, I don't particularly like Bailey and think he holds no value at a 3.3 cap hit, but to say he can't play center is flat out wrong.

All young centres struggle in the dot, that's normal. McDavid was actually the highest amongst the top 5 scoring rookie centres at 41.2%.

He was around 53% at the World Cup.
