Speculation: So...Who is Lou Lamoriello trading the Isles 1st for this year...?

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Think of the worst player at the deadline, who any other GM wouldn't spend more than a 2nd on.

That's who Lou will get.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking Gallagher.

• 2020 - JG Pageau
• 2021 - Kyle Palmieri
• 2022 - Alex Romanov
• 2023 - Bo Horvat
• 2024 - ???

Odds are it will probably be for a pending UFA (who's only worth a 2nd) and then Lou will give him a 7 year 45 million deal shortly after.

Who's your money on...?

Don’t thry need to be 29+?

 

[Davenport]

Casey Mittelstadt? Maybe still a bit too young, and still some upside?

 

[66-30-33]

Jeff Carter.

[Martin Skoula]

Probably wants to inject some youthful energy into the D core, someone like Giordano maybe as long as he’s willing to extend longterm around 5–7 mil.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Max Pacioretty

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Patrick Roy

 

[RangersFan1994]

He'll bring back Ross Johnston for a 2ed

Any Avs fans have any insight into what Roy prefers/dislikes as a coach ? It's likely to influence how he tries to reshape the Isles roster...

After today: Nick Holden.

(an inside joke to Avs fans)

 

[Gecklund]

Hertl please.

The Avs were too much of a revolving door. And perceptions might be skewed by personnel limitations. The Avs D during his time were awful.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Armia!

 

[Groo]

Logan Couture. Come on down!

 

[cyris]

Chris Tanev.

Good player that used to be a really good player. But definitely a guy on the down swing.
Probably isn’t worth a first at this point in his career although with the premium teams pay at the deadline someone is going to overpay. Seems like the kinda overpay Lou loves.
Then he will hand him a contract that is too long for too much to justify it.

The writing is on the wall

Old Man Lou vs. chatterbox TikTok star.

Getting someone who can't grow a beard would avoid so many potential problems.

Just don't let Nelson, etc. celebrate scoring their 30th goal of the year, and it'll be fine.

A little context please ?

I could definitely see them in on Tanev

 

[Chardo]

Someone not mentioned, out of nowhere, within the next few weeks.

Isles deal the first, Bolduc, and Pageau for Chychrun. Similar package to what landed Horvat (first + overpaid vet + good not great prospect) with the added bonus that both players are French Canadian and Pageau obviously has a good history there. Sign Chychrun for too long + too much $$$. Call up Ishkakov until Zeeker is back to see what we have there. Roy gets the defense he never had in Colorado which is instantly top 5 in NHL.

Romanov - Dobson
Chychrun - Pulock
Pelech - Mayfield
