JVR and Soshnikov for Greiss and Kulemin
JVR and Soshnikov for Greiss and Kulemin
Only problem is Islanders want to dump Halak not Greiss so that's an issue to start. JFB the Islanders 3rd Goaile has a better chance of being packaged and has 675K cheap backup. Islanders don't want to trade JFB but who wants Halak? Halak with a 4.5 mill cap hit 4.750 this year and 5 mill next year...so who wants Him? Islanders are stuck with him!
JFB , Bailey, Mayfield to Leafs For????????
I meant Holland
Greiss would probably cost us more than Andersen did.He outperformed him last year and proved dependable in the playoffs. Many fans have him slated as a starter ahead of Halak and the Isles don't have a Gibson to drive his value down in negotiations.
It's pointless to waste the assets required to land a goalie of his caliber. Especially with the expansion draft on the horizon and his value with the Isles being at an all time high.
We should be targeting a veteran on the downswing of his career or buy low on someone like Niemi that is actively being shopped.
but why
Because we need a backup, it cannot he Sparks and Enroth aside there isnt much in UFA
JVR and Soshnikov for Greiss and Kulemin
Best bet just sign Jonas Enroth to a 1 year deal then you don't have to worry about losing him in the expansion draft then you just protect Andersen.
and then we lose greiss in the expansion draft....
just stop
JVR and Soshnikov for Greiss and Kulemin
Berube for Holland + ?
Is this for real? I wouldn't trade JVR for both...let alone add Sosh. We had Kulemin...he bolted for more money from the Isles....he can stay with the Isles.
and then we lose greiss in the expansion draft....
just stop
At this point, I think the Islanders are more comfortable with Greiss as their starter than with Halak, who had major health problems over the years. So what makes you think that the Isles would trade him?
Most games played was 68 last year.
Andersen played 43 last year, let's say he's healthy and plays ~55-58 games.
Still need someone to post a ~912 in those 25 games.
Greiss proved himself in the playoffs and really with a healthy Halak a platoon system could work in Broklyn. I cant see Greiss leaving unless the offer was way above whathes worth and at the end of the DAT Garret Sparks and to a lesser extent Antoine Bibeau have proven the an play at that level. Sparks seems like a logical choice as the number two but with Anderson's age there are some options out there. Kinrad from Jersey has been thrown out there as the Devils have Schnieder and now Wedgewodd there.
