What's Florida offering in return? Main need is a top line proven scorer (that's not completely useless defensively) in the same age range as Barzal. Middle 6 pieces, cap dumps and overhyped prospects wont work once again.
This is just a guess but I would think NYI would be interested in Lundell. He is only 23. He can play wing or center. He is also a big 2-way forward and NYI loves those types (Nelson, Horvat, etc).
The issue with Lundell is that he fills a middle 6 need but more realistically a 3rd line center need. If Dobson is moved, it's for a major upgrade upfront in the top 6 that can score consistently.
I’d rather move Dobson in a 1:1 trade for a forward over futures.
I would like it if for example you can get a Cole Caufield . Not sure if he is available. He do you think would be a good 1 for 1 hockey trade for Dobson?
Agents get paid to tell players how much money they are worth and what kind of contract they can expect. Only a fool would pay someone 5% of their earnings just to ignore their expertise.
I get the idea but realistically not proven enough. Rather do something around Johnston for Dobson.
Never said it would but Stankoven for Dobson really isn’t worth it as a starter for the Islanders. Dobson isn’t getting moved for multiple pieces (including overhyped prospects and top 20 protected picks on top of veterans) nomatter how many of those offers keep getting posted in here. Unless they’re getting a proven scorer who’s in the same age range as Barzal, it’s not worth moving him based on this conspiracy people have that he’s going to hold out and walk.
I’m not sure I agree. Just because Lundell has never consistently played in a top 6 role does not mean he can’t be a top 6 forward. I think if given more ice time he can be a 2nd line center easily…
Just more so not what the Isles need. A younger top line winger who’s a proven scorer (to replace the pieces moving out) is more of a need over a middle 6 center currently. Winger shifts into spot with Barzal and Horvat then it all balances out. The issue once again is that Florida like Minnesota, doesn’t have a 1st this year and the prospects available really don’t move the needle one bit. Moving out Dobson and not getting a dynamic scorer to offset the offensive production would be a downright stupid move.
Unlikely but a signed Marner + something(since he is a UFA) for Dobson
This isn't happening unless Lou talks to his agent and Little Mitchie agrees to a structure of an extension. Trading Dobson only to watch Marner (and his circus entourage) walk in July would be something of massive stupidity.
Stankoven and what and what?
I kind of love this deal if you change the protection to top 3, but I don’t think it’s what Lou would be looking for
I still wouldn’t want Marner if he comes with the hockey dad and entourage. That’s just asking for issues. Rather go after Nylander personally.Which is why I said a signed Marner
Not sure why Utah would do that?
