Proposal: Nick Leddy to Winnipeg for Jack Roslovic, 2nd 2021

[Troy]

i am not very good at this. But i see Leddy as a fit on the left side for the Jets. It does help the Isles with Cap space as well. Who adds

Fair deal from both sides and addresses needs.

NYI accepts IMO

 

[Forge]

Honestly, I'd be surprised if someone has to pay that much for Leddy, but I could also be underestimating the demand on Leddy, which is basically what it will amount to (or overestimating the cap crunch). He's not a negative asset by any stretch, but everyone knows that they have to get rid of him. I would just expect nothing but low ball offers.

 

[DJBiffWPG]

Overpay.

similer players available in FA

 

[GaryPoppins]

I would think either of the pieces would get this done. Either a 2nd/3rd or Roslo.

 

[miscs75]

Sold. Nick will be reporting upon completion of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Agreed, maybe a 2nd rd pick. He’s one of multi options out there for the 2nd pairing.

 

[blinkman360]

Still holding out hope for a 1st for Leddy. People say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one.

 

[howkie]

If that is the price, I rather wait until FA and see what is out. Not many teams can take on Leddys full salary without sending back.

I would be very surprised if he bought back a 1st. I am expecting 2nd & B prospect.

Even if it’s a 2nd, Roslovic is still a quality middle 6 piece that would fit nice alongside JGP.

 

[Gurglesons]

Crazy that Isles fans are willing to receive such a small package for a top pairing D.

I thought that to. I'm a fan of both teams.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I’d do it as a Jets fan.

Leddy has played with a spark this post season but needs a change of scenery bad. Roslovic would solve the 3W spot and be a better option then MDC (RFA as well) and rushing in one of the prospects that may not be ready. I saw he’s an RFA, I’m guessing he’s in the $1-$2m range for a contract?

Probably because they're shopping him now, and not in 2015 Leddy has been a disaster in the past few seasons and his contract is an albatross.

Leddy can still play consistent top 4 minutes with special teams. Jack Johnson on the other hand would look good in the AHL in a bottom pairing role.

buddy you do not need to educate me on jack johnson

Leddy can still play those minute, you're right. He sucks in them, but technically yes he can play them.

Leddy has looked a lot better with Andy Greene then he had with Boychuk the past few years. Boychuk may be the reason his game has looked shot recently. He’s also a decent trade chip that’s not on that bad of a contract based on his skill set but the Isles want to clear out cap space.

To be fair, the entire Islanders blue line has looked great in the playoffs so far, I'm not sure I'd say that that reverses a several-season sample size in which his numbers without Johnny Boychuk have also been terrible.

He's got a visible skill set for sure, and I'm sure someone will overpay for him because he skates fast, but IMO he's worth nothing even approaching $5.5M per season.

The Isles blue line has looked solid all season until Pelech went down and the team fell apart back in January. The only difference is that Greene is in and Boychuk is in the press box. Most defenseman in his role are making $4+ a season. There’s next to none in a top 4 role that are way below that. Is he overpaid? Yes but not by an insane amount and a team with a bit of space that wants a LHD with skill will be able to afford him easily.

But the guy that came up with that line ended up murdered.

We don't want to trade him, but we need to dump cap. And he's the most logical to trade to dump cap as he has value league wide and the NYI have enough depth on defense to withstand losing him.

I mean if someone would take Ladd, I would love to keep Leddy. But can't envision anyone taking Ladd without a huge over payment.

 

[Flyer lurker]

We have a smart well thought out offer. Mark the time as it can be rare.

You’re pretty dark my guy.
