Lee has a NTC for 2 more years thenn it becomes a M-NMC. But I think there are better candidates to be traded now, guys who may not make as much as Lee but are far less productive.
As long as Lee can stay in the 30-35 goal range I think he still has value for the Islanders. I think he still has a couple of 30 goal years left in him.

I missed Lee talk? Anyway, that’s not happening. full NTC. Wish he had gotten five years but he had the team by the balls after missing on Panarin.

Dang, hopefully Jersey has to pay a big price if they wind up winning this race.

I sure as hell hope so, because they are shaping up to be a real problem. They have a lot of really good young talent and adding a dynamic player like Fiala next to Hughes…
Not a huge problem with their goaltending.
A playoff team, yes. But they're not going to go anywhere with Campbell in net.

Honestly, it's gonna be hard to beat NJ or Ottawa if they really want Fiala. Especially if Jersey is willing to part with #2.

because NJ has so much cap space, and the isles need to shed Bailey for gods sake.

Understood on his NTC. I think his value is overstated and I predict declining production in the future. Who would you rather trade that has value and a big enough contract to open up cap room?

If Lee didn’t have his NTC would you move him for Forsberg? I would. I think Isles top paid forwards need to produce more. Nelson being the exception.

I'm not really sure what you are asking, Forsberg is a UFA.
Are you saying if NYI signed Forsberg would I move Lee to offset the influx of cap?
Bailey has nothing to do with it.
NJ and Ottawa simply have better tradeable assets than we have if they really want to get Fiala.

isles miss out on another quality player they could've gotten if they actually had a prospect or two
or we can get hosed by a team who traded one prospect and a 1st for an 85 point player
Lou, wake up. "if you have time, use it" should be hung up in the bathroom for people taking too long on the toilet, not from a GM.

We don't have a prospect as good as Faber to trade and Minnesota probably didn't want a roster player regardless of cap hit

which is both frustrating and a cold reality. another offseason, another july 13th going hungry once more.
Fiala to LA. 1st and a prospect. Not a crazy price. Have to pay him now. I don’t think Lou can move our first and a prospect without having a Dmen secured. He needs to address that monster hole on the left side before bringing in a forward.

I mean I'm not happy about losing out to a beatable LA offer.
Doesn't mean what I said was untrue if Jersey or Ottawa really wanted him. Apparently they didn't.
