Isles make this trade IMO and I would be sad. Having some version of Horvat/Hage/Ritchie down the middle in two years makes me a little less sad. Worth pointing out that they're 8-15 without Barzal this year, so they'll probably be pretty terrible next season too.
Lol I mean if we made this trade we would go from having just Nelson as a C prospect entering the year to having Ritchie, Hage, and probably someone from this draft (O'Brien if they don't trade up, Hagens if they do). Completely different landscape
Personally I want to see if they can luck out and snag Bear assuming the top 8 go as planned. I don’t want them going anywhere near a goalie in the 1st round. Ideally this would mean rebuild if they did do this and unfortunately I don’t know if I could suffer through a few season of a team as bad as the 08-09 team. We both know they’d wind up missing out on that #1 next season even if they were historically bad because of Islanders luck.
Only if you include Bill Muckalt and Dave Scatchard game used jerseys in the trade.
Isles will need to add to acquire Willander. The guy is a Faber type package if he hits. but his floor is still a very good elite skating defensive Dman.
This is what the teams don’t work. The Montreal offer moved a better prospect then Mynio and an additional 1st. I even saw the projected trade offer for Horvat in the other Canucks thread and laughed. Garland, Raty and some mediocre picks won’t work for him either. The Islanders really aren’t interested in being a dumping grounds to make everyone else better. Leave that for Chicago if you want to get rid of foster filler pieces.
yeah, not a good match at the end, something lower end and younger would probably fit Vancouver's needs, they are not contending yet. As I said, Sillinger/Mittelstadt would probably work better. Montreal has no need for more picks, they can trade their next 3 first round picks for all they care about to fill their holes. Isles are tough to understand, I believe they are trying to make playoffs every year with what they have? or have ownership indicated they are rebuilding now that they started the ball rolling with shipping Nelson off? Willander is ready to go, whereas Mynio/Hage are still a year or 2 away.
Bear might fall to the second with the injury. He’s the kind of guy you take if you have a second pick in the first
This is running under the assumption that
This is operating under the assumption that the Isles are shopping/open to trading Barzal. If it's not something they're only considering if a massive overpay is coming. Then no. This package doesn't make sense. Just like your example for Caufield wouldn't. But let's not get it twisted Mailloux is a big offensively minded right shot D who was taken in the first round. Comparing his value to Quinn Finley seems a bit straw man
Miller has a full NMC. You were in a situation where he could have turned down any move, good chance he had a list of three teams at most and you had the possibility that any or all of them weren’t interested. You were also trading during the season so you had to do some cap gymnastics to make it work. Additionally, the whole situation with that team was toxic and you were desperate to get rid of him ASAP. Not exactly the same situation here.
Sure okay and BTW I think the OP's offer was typical of this thread as in not being very serious.
That offer was typical of what we’ve seen from Canucks fans for Isles players. Barzal is damaged goods from what they’re claiming so he must go for a lowball offer.
Aren't you worried about the kneecap and his so so production lately, last year aside?
Unless Barzal is completely healthy, I'd pass if I were the Habs but I'm really high on Hage and the 26 draft is really good and even a mid first rounder this year can add to the stable.
