[Fixed to Ruin]

This is more unstable than a toddler trying to carry a full cup without a lid somewhere.

 

[JKG33]

I feel like he goes to Winnipeg or Minnesota

 

[JoeSakic13]

"Sounds like Nelson will be traded, but Lou may loop back and keep him. It's a fluid situation."

Is Lou trying to pass a stone?

 

[StlBill]

Lou needs to be put out to pasture. His ineptitude managing this roster is mind boggling.

10+ teams involved per Pagnotta, so no way to narrow it down to two teams right now.

Return is going to be epic.

 

[Lt Dan]

Brock Lobster!

 

[RogerRogerr]

Take Engvall back first and then maybe we consider it. Brock also wants to win a cup,

[jaric1862]

His tweet is worded more like "The Islanders have made the decision that they will trade him" rather than "He's being traded right now."

Yes?

No doubt, hes practically the only legitimate top 6 C on the market, at least in terms of rentals.

Just a gut feeling he gets traded to and re-signs close to home. Both teams would love a new 2C.

Who gives a shit about Engvall’s contract? It’s so insignificant. It’s practically nothing. How is this even a factor?

Just more so to move the body off the roster since Roy has no interest in playing in him and it’s at the point already that he’s not doing anything consistent enough to prove he should stay in the lineup.

And just as I typed that, Sam Cosentino on Sportsnet said the price is higher than anyone thought for Nelson, and that the Jets & Leafs are likely out as a result

Keep him or don’t. It doesn’t matter. His contract should, in no way, affect trade value. It’s just nothing.

To Washington for 25 1st + Lapierre please

Staple is an Islanders guy for sure id say; just not employed by them

Staples used to cover just the Isles. It's been a while now that his primary focus has been the NYR.

Having said that, my point was pretty much just baseless speculation.

Im sure his connections stayed strong

But what is a deadline without baseless speculation lmao

 

[SRBisles]

Nelson is an excellent player, whoever gets him will be quite happy. Personally I think the Jets would be the best fit.

16 teams. Maybe Winnipeg isn’t one of them?

 

[gojetsgo]

16 teams.

both dreger and friedman have reported that they don't think it's going to be a problem

 

[Buffdog]

I hope Chevy bails if the ask is a 1st and Lambert or Yager or Salo

Barlow is about as good of a prospect as I'm willing to add. Maybe Chibrakov
