Value of: Scott Mayfield

[TrevSens]

Quick on Islanders fans. Scott Mayfield. 30 years old. UFA after this season. Currently making $1.45M on the cap.

How expendible is he? Thought to resign him in the off season and beyond? Or do you think you'll be priced out? If available, what would NYI be looking for in exchange?

Asking from an Ottawa Pov. Though I'm sure a load of teams would be interested in a big, right shot, defensive minded dman right now!

Islanders are trying to win a cup. Why would they move him?

Probably makes at minimum the Gudbanson deal. Could easily see someone giving him 6 mil.

Sure, ok so if it's 4.5-6 to resign him past this year do NYI look to move him for assets if they don't plan to resign? Obviously too early in season to make that call, just asking the questions!

No. They aren't going to move him.

Contenders don't move pieces like Mayfield and that's what the Isles are trying to do.

No, that’s selling.

NYI won’t move him if they are in a playoff run and even if they aren’t, they may try and re-sign him.

Just my 2 cents but given Mayfield's previous contracts where he doesn't get paid much he probably is looking for a big payday. I am guessing he signs elsewhere for like 5 X 5M. For the Islanders My guess is they will try find cheaper options to replace him

All that being said, unless we are out of the playoff race come trade deadline, no way we trade him

 

[Riseonfire]

Mayfield is a gem. I hope the isles keep him for another 4/5 years.

 

[IslesNorway]

His contract is arguably one of the best in the league for what he brings. He's been underpaid for years and will get a massive payday next year.

Isles won't trade him though.

 

[TGWL]

Islanders will not be re-signing him for around 6 million. They also won't just move him if they're competition for a top position in the metro/east. He's a player that they will lose in the off-season unless his asking price is what they can afford with term. If not, oh well, but they won't rip this season away by trading him just because they fear losing Mayfield for nothing.

 

[miscs75]

Like what I stated before regarding him, the Islanders needs outweigh the cost for Mayfield. Unless it’s a substantially good top 6 winger to play with Barzal, there’s no need to move him. Ottawa isn’t giving up those pieces though.

With the cap projected to rise in the coming years, whos to say that NYI won't sign him 5 x 5 and dangle Pulock?

Why would NYI be morons?

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Cizikas Resign Special via Sweet Lou coming for Scotty May at 2.5 per for 8 years!!!!1

Can't see them trading him even if they're not "contenders", most likely lose him after the season. He's been a great guy to have on the team as an excellent 3rd pairing D. The icings though...light touch Scotty, light touch. Ick.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Islander would have to fall out of a playoff position to sell him and that’s if they don’t re-sign him. Even if they don’t why would a playoff bound club trade away D like him for rental prices. Makes no sense.

The full NTC says no.

Mayfield hasn’t made much money so far, relative to his impact on the ice. So he’s going to go and get paid versus a return to the isles on a nice deal for the team especially when Dobson and Pulloch are on the right side.

They probably treat him as their own rental.

 

[SI90]

How's a top4 RHS defensive defenseman? He's way under paid and has been for years. That comes to an end after this year. If the isles are in playoff position at the deadline they won’t trade him. If the wheels fall off and isles season ends up going bad then he will be a good asset at the deadline. Don’t really see him being available now though. Isles don’t have a replacement for him

 

[Disgraced Cosmonaut]

Scottie wants to stay. This is his home. 4.3x7.

 

[EK392000]

Why would the Isles re-sign him when they already have Pulock and Dobson on the right side? Doesn't seem wise to invest 4+ million on a dman who will play on the third pair.

That’s kind of why they made the Romanov deal to secure their top 4.

What happened to the development of Bode Wilde? CapFriendly has him in the ECHL. Skating, off ice issues, no brain...I thought there was a fairly high level of excitement when he was drafted.

 

[Isles72]

as long as they stay in the mix for playoff spot I doubt he's moved but if they fall back he could fetch a 1st rounder or multiple seconds .

he deserves everything he can get in the offseason but I think 5 mil per is a bit of a stretch . Probably flirts with 4.0 x 5 years though

he refused to get the covid vax so Lou has farmed him out to other teams
