Do you guys think Carlo would be a good fit with Nurse? I know it’s a pipe dream but that seems like it has cup written all over it.

Mystery trade player Idea: Ryan Pulock from the Islanders
The islanders currently aren’t very good, there middling and need to make a change
On the right side of their defence they have Pulock and Mayfield signed till 2030 and they need to sign Dobson after this year and I feel he will be a priority for them.
Pulock is a good defensife defenceman (leads the islanders in short handed time) but still has a little offence to him.
Makes 6.15 million and is 30 years old.
I have no idea what the package would be but he has always felt like a player who is never talked about but in my opinion should be available because of where the islanders are.

I'm here, I'm bored
I'd only consider moving him if he's part of a package for a young, cost controlled contributor who will be around for a few years.
The Drai and Bouch extensions will hit hard and we think we need to hope that Savoie takes a big step next season.

It's hard to tell but I bet the team does have a renewed commitment to youth, made more pressing by what we lost over the summer. I'd say there's almost no chance a key prospect moves for a rental. The Kesselring trade also might be a recent lesson they've learned.
Also, I do feel that the only piece we want is that 2nd pair RD. We've steadily added pieces and so there just aren't holes.
I don't think there's any clear 2nd pairing RD that should cost us Akey, Savoie, or O'Reilly
The response there is that maybe we want someone who is costly, and would pass for a top pairing guy. I don't think management will push for that unless we are talking a young player with control. But let's be real. We are talking about Dmen like Risto, Provorov, Borgen tier.
Hes easily our best prospect right now so I don't think you trade him unless it's for a top 4 with term or a 2C with term.

Ludicrous speed, GO!
Honestly I think the odds are low that's Skinners traded, even if he doesn't have an obvious home in the lineup/top9. We saw in the finals how banged up the team ended up being. And although Holloway did well to fill in, they just didn't have the horses in step in once Kane was out and Drai's hand/back was f**ked.
I don't see the team being willing to take that risk again, and will keep Skinner as a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency wildcard.

cool, SKinner has looked great as well.
Friedman did say that, if the Dman they want can be obtained right away, they will not hesitate to pull the trigger
In my opinion, a 4C is not that hard to obtain. But I think we should all realize that every team that won the Cup in the last 3-4 years has had an amazing top 6 on defence. All we need is one #4 Dman who can move the puck and we are golden. If we can pull that off, our D core is the best it has ever been in so so long.

I really don't think people aren't taking injuries into account. If one of our top 3 is injured, we have no depth to help fix that spot

Sometimes miracles
This isn't hang back and watch Holland, I don't like Stan, but he hasn't sat on his hands.
It will be if the right deal comes up, I could absolutely expect something well before the deadline

I don’t doubt that if there is a guy near the top of their list who’s available that they won’t hesitate but I’m not sure if that deal is there this early in the season.
I think they have done a really great job with how they’ve approached the situation, cycling a few different style of players into that spot next to Nurse and now they probably have a very good idea of what type of player the coaching staff wants on that pairing. Now the coaching and scouting staff can put a list of targets together so that management can start making their calls on these guys.
If they can add a really solid #4 who compliments Nurse this D core is going to be solid and with some great depth.
My thinking is that if the defence is performing at a high level, you might not want to mess with the mix unless the right player comes along.
If you think Nuge is now a winger, and Henrique is basically a shutdown defensive centre, then adding another good centre gives you more options up front, and in case of injury. It opens up playing Draisaitl with McDavid and keeping Nuge on the wing when they make that adjustment. Also, if Podkolzin and Kapanen stick on Draisaitl's line, it could give you someone to play with Kane against soft competition.
My preference would be a top-4 d signed with term, but if that's not available, I think adding a good centre with that cap space could be an option.

The 0.5PPG needs context. Condors are ranked near dead last in offence in the AHL. Let's not sound the alarm bells yet.
Will Borgen @50%
Cam Talbot @500k retained
Would be the two adds I would like to make.
I mean are there "sexier" names out there? Sure, but factoring in cost of acquisition, there's not much better.

Because even Skinner's biggest backers will admit he is up and down and needs a better 1A/B to push him.
You worry about a D injury, what would happen if Skinner gets hurt?
The Oilers would be left with Pickard having to basically play all the rest of the games and Broissoit not only has 0 NHL playoff experience, he has 0 NHL experience period. That would be a disaster.
