Proposal: Nylander for Pelech

[Lays]

Why are the Isles moving their best defenseman in a position of weakness for another winger? Value is off as well. And I’m a Rangers fan that likes Willy

 

[seabass45]

A good trade if the Isles want to go into next season with zero LD.

 

[WangMustGo]

that's your opinion. Which is fine. I wouldn't trade Nylander for him because I believe nylander is better. That's my opinion. So I guess there is nothing left to discuss.

Pelech is a top 5 shutdown defenseman in the league, but have fun losing in the first round again. Isles would never consider Pelech for Nylander.

 

[CanadienShark]

Value is likely fair, but the Isles can't afford to part with Pelech.

 

[north49er]

No interest moving Pelech for the gutless wonder.

That move will haunt Nylander for ever....

I'd rather lose in round one than not make it. Also leafs would never consider moving nylander for a d man, they don't need.

Its not like the Islanders haven't made it before LOL.

I'm fairly certain ever team has made the playoffs before. So...yeah. What I said applied to this year...LMFAO

Maybe if you ask nicely, their fans will tell you how it feels to win a round.

Pelech isn’t going anywhere. He is a stud on defense and underrated puck mover. Easy pass for the islanders.

 

[SI90]

This trade would not benefit both teams. Would destroy the isles defense. Pelech is the best shutdown defender in the NHL along with Slavin. Loosing Pelech would hurt the isles too much. Value might be fair but doesn’t make any sense for the isles. Pelech is arguably the isles best player. He’s certainly the most important

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Nylander is too soft for the Isles style of play. He wouldn’t be a good fit.

With Trotz gone the islanders have no style. I’m sure there will be a system built around Barzals speed and skill

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I’m all about Toronto running it back next year with the exact same team minus the middle six forward depth, Giordano and Campbell. Go for it. Bound to happen eventually, even with less talent on the ice.

Letting Campbell walk would be a mistake. He was excellent this series and it seems like his midseason struggles was really caused by his injury. I wouldn't be surprised if Gio resigns for cheap. He was a good team leader and mentor for Liljegren

Meh, winning one, two, or zero, it's not the cup.So it's all the same. Nice try tho!

 

[DraiInSeiderKuch]

Islanders would want Marner, Nylander isn't enough, he is too horrible in the dzone

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Something around Nylander and Dobson makes more sense

 

[WangMustGo]

Lol absolutely not. Dobson is on his way to being the isles best player. 22 year old two way defensemen that put up 50+ points dont grow on trees.

While winning the cup is the key to the season and the ultimate goal, let’s not pretend winning a playoff series or 2 has no value. Pretty sure other teams fans would agree with me.

Seems like many Toronto fans a very salty now. And winning a round would have changed that….

Counter: Mayfield + pick for Nylander

NYI only has one quality left shot D, Pelech is the definition of untouchable.

This would be a dream come true. Pelech is awesome. If I was Lou, there is no way I consider this.

As much as I think Toronto rips off NYI getting Pelech, I think NYI rips off Toronto in your deal. Mayfield has shown he can be a good top 4 D, but after last season, I don't think his stock is as high as it once was. Also, his excellent contract is running out, and his next one will be a prime overpay situation.

That’s fair, my proposal wasn’t very serious. It was more of a tongue-in-cheek proposal after seeing the Pelech/Nylander suggestion when NYI has lost two top four LHD over the last two years and needs to add one, not subtract their only one…just a completely tone deaf proposal in my opinion and borderline insulting.

Getting back on a more serious note, I think NYI could be interested in Muzzin for a second pairing role if TOR was shopping him.

They wouldn’t pay much…maybe Bellows and a 2nd/3rd, but if TOR really wants cap space it may make some sense for them.

It's not about who's better, is it? It's about what you view better and more important to your team. If it's Pelech, then yeah, giving up who you might feel is a better player is really irrelevant. If it's Nylander, then obviously that's an easy decision not to make.

There's literally 0% chance Nylander gets traded unless Dubas gets fired

Borderline insulting? Damn man, I'm trying to defend Pelech here and you are making it hard. It's not an insulting offer, just ignorant of NYI's current situation. If NYI didn't have a hole at LD, it would be pretty fair value, although I still think Pelech is worth more.

I would trade Muzzin no question. I'd take the 2nd alone, tbh.
