Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

[SI]

Islanders are winning - they are 9-2 in the last 11 games!
I was so sure they were done. They need to grab 3 of the possible 4 points in Florida.

ALSO - DeAngelo played 28 minutes?! tonight.

All this talk about EP40, when I think Miller would be the better fit and costs 3.6 less and with fewer years... might also cost less to acquire.

Here is something to think about (or Flame) -

JT Miller, C, 31, (turning 32 in March) 5 years after this one @ 8 AAV
Tom Willander, RHD, 19, (10th OA pick in 2023) unsigned playing in NCAA
for
Noah Dobson, RHD, 25, RFA next season - projected signed 8x8
Danny Nelson, C, 19, (2nd round pick in 2022) unsigned in NCAA
Pierre Engvall, LW, 5 years after this one @ 3 AAV
2025 2nd round pick

1. Lee - Horvat - Barzal
2. Tsyplakov - Miller - Holmstrom
3. Duclair - Nelson - Palmieri
4. Cizikas - Pageau - ????

OR they could move Miller to LW and Cizikas back to C.

That is a very good forward group!

PS – If it were up to me, I'd rather trade Nelson—or the assets from a Nelson deal—for Miller than give up Dobson.
