Isles aren’t moving Pulock (even at full value) and Sorokin for a mediocre backup, a clone of Dobson and a pick to offset it. The bad goalie and RFA defenseman wanting too much money are your problem.
UGH....not even close...Isles laugh and hang up phone.Offseason trade
Pullock at half for remaining 3 years
Sorokin
Bouchard
Skinner
Edm 2nd 2026
Switch teams and let Dobson play with McDavid and Draisaitl and see what his numbers look like.That's totally fair but don't pretend Dobson and Bouchard are even on the same planet in terms of skill and talent.
Even if they switch teams, until Dobson shows he can put up generational numbers in the playoffs no GM would consider them remotely equal in value. So far Dobson has only shown his numbers dip in the playoffs, not elevate like Bouchard does.Switch teams and let Dobson play with McDavid and Draisaitl and see what his numbers look like.
Dobson put up 70pts last year on an isles team that can’t score a PP goal to save its life.
They’re both offensive minded RHD who struggle defensively. Bouchard is just the more expensive one (who plays on the better team). The Isles don’t need to add in an 11m version of Dobson who will get around 9 this summer. This trade is dogtrash for the Isles and doesn’t do anything to help them in the short or long term. Now if we’re talking trades, you guys have 2 players I’m interested in but neither are going anywhere for obvious reasons.That's totally fair but don't pretend Dobson and Bouchard are even on the same planet in terms of skill and talent.
Its not even close, sure Edm fans are saying it fair. Bouchard is a FA at the end of the year and wants 12M per year. I'll take Dobson at 7-8M and keep the far better goalie in Sorokin, and Trade Pulock and get a scoring forward. And you want us to retain salary...That's totally fair but don't pretend Dobson and Bouchard are even on the same planet in terms of skill and talent.
Bouchard wants 10, id bet Dobson wants 10 as well. I agree though I made a bad proposal. Pulock will get a scoring forward I also agree.Its not even close, sure Edm fans are saying it fair.

And before you say you won't get that for Pulock...We definitely will, Winnipeg wants him bad. But Lou isn't moving the core (wrong move but until we get rid of Lou, it is what it is).
Reports he wants more than 10M between 11-12M from what I heard. Not down playing him, but we have Dobson. Dobson won't get 10M because of the bad season he is having this year. You don't get a 10M contact when you play bad in a contract year. You don't get to break the bank, when you go from 70pt to 40pt and playing really bad defense.Bouchard wants 10, id bet Dobson wants 10 as well. I agree though I made a bad proposal. Pulock will get a scoring forward I also agree.
I just think Islander fans are greatly undervaluing Bouchard, he's miles better than Dobson.
Horrible for isles. No thank you.
