Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXVI: The End (The Apocalypse Is Now)

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I would trade Nils for an appropriately comparable LHD at the same level. If that existed.

You know what would make a ton of sense? Lundkvist for Sandin.

Equal value

 

[Blue Blooded]

Why would Florida trade for ADA? They are already playing a RH defenceman on their 2nd line because they have too many of them.

I'm not saying they would, just looking at a hypothetical from our perspective.

I think of it like we just saw with Gauthier. Deal from Strength. We got the RHD, need another LHD.

Est veritas.

I'd rather see if Lias can figure it out than move him for Ho-Sang.

 

[JimmyG89]

Ho-Sang is done. He's not going to be in the NHL at this rate unless a team like Ottawa takes a chance on him. Maybe Detroit with how bad they are. The Islanders lack talent, but this kid has all kinds of red flags.

I could see him having a Duclair like renaissance by changing teams, but it'll need to happen this offseason and he'll have to earn a spot, he won't be given one, even from the really bad teams.

 

[Edge]

Ho-sang is in the Pool-party range in that I think the illusion of his potential and abilities has long since eclipsed the abilities and reality of what he's done.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Unfortunately for Ho-Sang he's got a spiteful old man running the operation who'd rather he flame out of the league than move him

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Ho-Sang, another failed Rangers draft pick.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Ho-sang is in the Pool-party range in that I think the illusion of his potential and abilities has long since eclipsed the abilities and reality of what he's done.

Could be, but Ho-Sang has been chock full of red flags forever now.

I think hes gotten a bit of a raw deal with the Isles but I still wouldn't touch him.

Frankly, I feel like he's been underachieving for a very long time. Not just as a pro, this was a kid who was coming in under expectations as a junior as well.

Good lord, who?

 

[Lone Ranger]

He might be on the best contract in the game. I guess the question is could he play C? He has been left wing for quite some time.

ZBad's contract has to be in that conversation.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Good lord, who?

Pysyk.

 

[Lion Hound]

ZBad's contract has to be in that conversation.

No doubt!

ADA would be a huge upgrade over any of their dmen aside from maybe Ekblad...difference between quantity and quality

 

[HankTheTankYoLo]

Just trade Lias for puljujärvi and then praise the lord for Lundell.

Kakko - Lundell - Pulju

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

tonight was enjoyable, but you should know that contract lasts six more seasons after this one.

Oh no, we have a quality 26 yo top-4 defenseman signed for six more years?

Might as well just jump off a cliff.

 

[Guyute]

Kakko - Lundell - Pulju

I would love Lundell! He was the best player on the ice during the WJC finals two years ago, the night Kakko scored to win it late in the 3rd.

Best player on the ice in his D-2 season

 

[Avery16]

Oh no, we have a quality 26 yo top-4 defenseman signed for six more years?

Might as well just jump off a cliff.

If he’s 26 and getting beat like that 1 on 1 how do you think he’ll look at 30? At 32?

 

[The New Russian Five]

Oh no, we have a quality 26 yo top-4 defenseman signed for six more years?

Might as well just jump off a cliff.

6 more years of being overpaid by 2-3 mill for his worth, especially when at $8mill he is starting to move down the depth chart at his position.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Technically, they could trade Lias/trade for Pool Party now, no? Those players just wouldn't be able to compete for the rest of the season.

Right?

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

What a pain in the ass this expansion draft is. Just move the Islanders to Seattle and be done with it. Enough is enough.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

What's with the talk of moving Lundkvist? Where is this coming from?

Next year:

Tony D-Trouba
Lindgren-Fox
???? (maybe K'Andre, Rykov or Hajek)- Lundkvist
