Proposal: Ryan Pulock or Noah Dobson for your Top 6 Winger or Center

[BigDaddyLurch]

Another poster offered Slakovsky, Evans, and Mailloux. Thoughts?

...said poster should be banned from the Habs Board for a month...

So you still need a defensively responsible 1RD for Z and then you also need a defensively responsible 2LD for Dobson. This creates more problems than it solves. Columbus can 100% sit this one out.

Seems like a good problem to have.

 

[Jared Dunn]

I actually think I'd prefer a Pulock deal for Montreal over Dobson, not down for the price it would ultimately take. Assuming the return for Pulock starts with Calgary's 1st what else would it take?

 

[VeteranPresence]

Would prefer to send Pulock for less than Dobson personally - I'd prefer to move him for futures

Pulock would be fine, the cost certainty is nice to have going forward and he probably fits our needs better.

Knies for Dobson

 

[Richard88]

What would Nichushkin fetch from NYI?

Sounds like it's not worth the opportunity cost of the other things you could acquire with what you'd spend to get Dobson.

For Dobson alone ? Too much.

Not much. Roy?

What would Nichushkin fetch from NYI?

His and Pulock's contracts match up quite nicely... If he enters the player assistance program again he gets suspended for a year though right? Feels like a big risk.

Knies for Dobson

I'd consider him as part of a deal for sure but I don't think he's going to shoot 25% for his career. Would need to add

For Dobson alone ? Too much.

I thought so too

Would prefer Newhook but think I'd probably do that as well, assuming Matheson will also be dealt elsewhere

Hutson-Pulock
Guhle-Carrier
Xhekaj-Mailloux/Reinbacher

Could live with that next year while adding Demidov to the existing group

 

[Jared Dunn]

Wonder if Utah would go for Dobson if he's legitimately out there, Kesselring + Doan/Macelli + picks or something

Newhook is fine, would take that deal.

Isles don’t need more defensemen, they need a true top 6 scoring threat that’s halfway responsible defensively and isn’t over the age of 28.

 

[Uberpecker]

Something around Dobson/Pulock for Cozens?

Pulock is not enough for Cozens and Dobson is not the type of player Buffalo needs.
But in principle Pulock to BUF should be a reasonable idea.

I guess the issue would be how much more, Knies is a bit of a unicorn which makes him extremely valuable. He's a big, physical power forward who plays on L1, PP1, and PKs all while being in just his second season.

3 casts offs — Perunovich, Deangelo, Boqvist — are playing well for the Islanders. The sample size is like 5-6 games and way too small to be talking about trading far more reliable and trusted players like Dobson or Pulock. Isles fans need to calm down. Aint none of Perunovich, Deangelo, Boqvist the next coming of Dennis Potvin. Dobson on the other hand is still young, and in spite of some up-and-down play, there is no way he should be traded from LI right now.

Isles fans are still trying to trade away Alan Quine for something of value after he scored 9% of his career goals in the playoffs. This is the same fanbase still hanging onto the concept that after 3 coaches it's not Oliver Wahlstrom's fault he's got the hockey IQ of a learn to play 5 year old, it's still the coaches not putting him with Barzal.

I'd love to have him but he's a winger and Dobson is a 6'4 RHD with a 70 point season on his resume. I think Toronto adds something not unsubstantial to get that done, although I agree that Knies could be a good player to have as the base of the deal.

Agree in a vacuum, but in this specific scenario I think it makes sense to trade the next coming of Potvin for the next coming of Trottier if you can find the deal. Our center depth is nonexistent, and our D depth is suddenly pretty good. You deal from a point of strength

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Do the Isles have another RH D-men to step up for Dobson?

There was a rumour of Elias Pettersson (center) + something for Dobson and Barzal.

Perhaps Soucy, Hoglander join Horvat and EP40?

This is what I was wondering. Probably just rumour for rumour sake then.

Isles don't need Soucy or another bottom 6 forward.

 

[Siludin]

Pulock has a NTC
How has he been playing this year?
(I know he is injured right now)

Why would Montreal accept that? It’s no slight on Dobson but be realistic

 

[The Real JT]

Western Canada guy Ryan Pulock is not waiving his Full NTC to go to Buffalo.

Let’s move on here.

Return of.......The Sweetner.

New nickname for Engvall, “Splenda”

 

[biturbo19]

I wish there was some way to make a Boeser + Lekkerimaki/Hoglander + Picks/Prospect+ for Pulock and Barzal type deal work. But i'd imagine that's probably a non-starter for the Isles. Especially if they don't think they could get Boeser extended. It'd solve a lot of problems for Vancouver and give the Isles a chance at a pretty big reset of their own.
