To get Tampa to even to listen you have to start with Tavares, Leddy, Barzal, Pulock, MDC, + picks.
*Isles have many assets that would equal or exceed the value of Kucherov.
I agree with most of what you said but "many" is rather absurd - the only player in the Islanders' organization who exceeds Kucherov's value is Tavares. They have some very good prospects but it's far too early to put any of them in Kuch's league at this point.

You could match and should but it would put you guys in a bad spot for the cap Teams would know you would have to get rid of Bishop which would diminish his trade value

if yzerman got two first rounders and callahan for marty st.louis! I cant even think what he would ask for kucherov in a trade most likley a 1st, 2nd top flight prospect and a top six forward!

Okie dokie...
1st round pick, Dal Colle and Mayfield (just in case Dal Colle isn't top flight enough) and your choice Nelson, Strome or Lee (You're coach likes him)
Don't bother responding... I've already broke through the window... tuck and rolled the landing on up to a full out sprint back to Brooklyn with Kucherov in hand.
1st wouldn't hurt to give up
2nd wouldn't hurt to give up
Most Fans would move MDC if the return was Kucherov
A Top-6 Forward - Nelson/Lee?
It's a big package, but I'd do it from an Isles perspective given Kucherovs RFA status. Still, it makes NO SENSE for Tampa, one could make a viable case for Kucherov being Tampas best player, especially after this last playoff run.
I have no problem giving up that much for Kucherov. He's worth it.
Don't steal our Kuch

Tavares
Kucherov
Ladd
Strome
Leddy
Hamonic
Pulock
Boychuk
Halak
Actually, maybe it wouldn't. Am I missing someone? deHaan/Nelson/Lee would be claimed.
At this point, Kucherov is significantly more important to the team than Stamkos. No way a trade happens, Yzerman isn't that stupid to sign Stamkos if it forces his hand on Kucherov - another part will move. Bishop is the obvious choice to be moved.

Scherbak

We just don't have the pieces I suppose.

Probably somewhere around Strome/Nelson, Pulock/Barzal, Dal Colle, 2017 1st, 2018 2nd
