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

[seafoam]

TPI seems to be co-signing. Makes some sense given the new defensive pickups and Barzal being out + us being in the wild card mix. But if it’s not Petterson…then who?

Calgary may know they can't re-sign Rasmus Andersson and will need to move on from him.

They could replace him with Dobson and have plenty of assets to part with.

 

[PK Cronin]

Don't both of those accounts just make things up?

 

[LeapOnOver]

There’s plenty. Duclair was a meh player before the Isles signed him. He’s still a meh player.

That wasn't an answer to my question.

There seem to be a few guys on twitter who think that if they make vague tweets with the eyeballs emoji then other people will think they know something, and unfortunately it works.

Yeah, and I think Ethan did it just a few weeks ago and admitted he completely made the whole thing up. Not sure why anyone is following either of those accounts.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

I'm scared Dobson will end up finding the success he had last season wherever he goes.

I know that's part of the risk, but it sucks to lose homegrown talent and then see them kill it elsewhere. It's good for them, but just sucky for the team that lost them.

Reason 26505 I would be a horrible GM.

It would be like Lou to go: “Oh, you want to sell? Alright, but we’re keeping all the 35 year olds and selling our young talented star.”

I bet he feels more at home with the guys closer to his own age

ICB is legit

Can’t say all his stuff always happens, but he had Panarin to the Rags before it happened, dropped the lead on the Justin Tucker thing before it happened (without naming names)

Guy is def plugged in, at least to some level

 

[Isles72]

who's playing center for vancouver if they trade Petey for Dobber

That’s just your opinion.

 

[seabass45]

That’s just your opinion.

It’s an opinion based on knowing that the front office is notoriously against things leaking out and the fanbase is desperate for any scrap of rumors they can find, so they’re more willing to believe anything that comes out, not matter where it comes from.

Check the emoji on my post.

That was weird, just seemed like he was drunk. He’s had like 5 or 6 things this year alone though, he’s definitely got some sort of in

I think ICB had/has the smallest of information that he uses for maximum exposure. Whenever I've gone to him for Islanders information over the years he's always wrong or has nothing, despite posting posting emojis with eyes and whatever else. Now I just skip him completely because someone else almost always has the scoop beforehand.

I don't follow him super closely so I'll take your word, that one stuck out to me because it was so recent and it was posted on here as if something were happening.

Dobson and Brock news

 

[seabass45]

Worth noting that the idea of trading Dobson makes a lot of sense to begin with. He hasn't performed as well since Roy came in, the team has been on a roll while he's out, and he *should* have been due for a big extension by now. The pieces are all there. So someone who cosplays an insider could easily come in and claim something is happening without actually knowing anything.

 

[Tres Peleches]

Trading Dobson for offensive help makes all the sense in the world. Resigning Nelson to a short term deal and selling him would be A-ok in my book

 

[seabass45]

I'm skeptical of the Nelson report because Nelson is 33 and we know how Lou likes to handle these UFA contracts.

 

[SayItAintSoJohnny]

I am fine with trading Dobson as long as it is in a package for a YOUNG DIFFERENCE MAKING forward...anything other than that makes ZERO SENSE.

 

[Tahoeblue]

I know one RHD has trade protection and another doesn't. I will go on record in favor of not trading Dobson. Can we leave Pulock and Nelson in Winnipeg for Perfetti, Barlow, ++?

Dobson and Brock news

I want my Roger Maris asterisk!

 

[islesmb]

IMHO I personally think trading Dobson is a bad idea just like it was a very bad idea to trade Devon Toews.

Add Brock Nelson sign and trade.

IMHO I personally think trading Dobson is a bad idea just like it was a very bad idea to trade Devon Toews.

It really just depends who it’s for. The Toews trade hurt because he was basically a cap dump at the time and we only got 2 2nd rd picks for him that didn’t turn out to be a roster impact player. The return must be good.
