Glad Dubas didn’t jump the gun, Foligno trade looks brilliant when you compare it to other deadline moves.
Weird thread to post that in.Glad Dubas didn’t jump the gun, Foligno trade looks brilliant when you compare it to other deadline moves.

I mean in all honestly I think the isles have the edge with this one vs the foligno trade, though that could just be the homer goggles.Glad Dubas didn’t jump the gun, Foligno trade looks brilliant when you compare it to other deadline moves.

Oh for sure, I think Foligno is a good pickup for Toronto, I just think the Isles got slightly better value with this tradeWe have enough grit, Toronto doesn't
Toronto has enough scoring, we don't
Seems like a win-win to me
Agreed, it's 1st/2nd line winger with PP credentials vs 2nd/3rd line winger with PK credentials. Whereas Toronto gave an extra pick we gave up a couple of low-level prospects.Oh for sure, I think Foligno is a good pickup for Toronto, I just think the Isles got slightly better value with this trade
Really depends on how the teams fare in the playoffs. Remember last year a lot of posters here thought TBL overpaid for Coleman. TBL fans are still laughing about that opinion with their Cup.I mean in all honestly I think the isles have the edge with this one vs the foligno trade, though that could just be the homer goggles.
They were awful last night and have been all around poor. Zajac has been a healthy scratch.How are they playing recently?
Oof, talk about setting them up to failPretty sure any Devils fan could have told you that playing Zajac at wing or Palms on the left side wasn't going to work
Idk while I think the Islanders got good value here, I don't really feel like either Zajac or Palmieri add anything that the Islanders lack.
Zajac is a defensive center when the Islanders already have Nelson, Pageau and Cizikas. Palmieri is a skilled RWer when the Islanders already have Eberle, Bailey and Wahlstrom. I don't really see what Palmieri or Zajac adds that they don't already have.
I got some pushback from Islanders fans when I posted this, but it's appearing this is the case. They got good value for just trading a 1st, but what's the point of trading for something you already have in spades? I just don't get it.
They would have been better off going after Hall, Janmark or Foligno considering the price they paid.
Hall wanted Boston only it appears. Maybe Lou had to move on to next option. Still think they came away better than Bos didI got some pushback from Islanders fans when I posted this, but it's appearing this is the case.

Boston got Hall and Lazar for a 2nd and Bjork. All of a sudden we have two solid threat scoring lines and voila — we actually now score 5 vs. 5 goals. Add to that our fourth line is world’s better with Lazar.Hall wanted Boston only it appears. Maybe Lou had to move on to next option. Still think they came away better than Bos did
I like Hall, but he's softBoston got Hall and Lazar for a 2nd and Bjork. All of a sudden we have two solid threat scoring lines and voila — we actually now score 5 vs. 5 goals. Add to that our fourth line is world’s better with Lazar.
If Zajac has already been healthy scratched, how can you possibly say the Isle’s came away better than Boston?
Maybe this will all change, and if so we’ll talk then. But several games in that is one very odd statement to make.
Trotz is trying to make sure he hangs on to a playoff spot. If he'd lost last night he'd be feeling a bit tense this morning.I like Hall, but he's soft
Trotz is healthy scratching all kinds of young guys on this team
No doubt but my post was to to the previous post about Zajac being healthy scratched. TrotzTrotz is trying to make sure he hangs on to a playoff spot. If he'd lost last night he'd be feeling a bit tense this morning.
No one in that position scratches "all kinds of young guys" unless they aren't producing.
So much for going some place to win huh?I think Hall wanted to audition somewhere where he could sign long term. I think he may have been persuaded to go somewhere beside Boston, but NY has no hope of signing him with their cap situation, so yeah, he probably would have nixed that.
