Value of: Top 6 Winger to NYI

[MattyW]

The Isles cannot continue with the revolving door of the like of Josh Bailey, Jason Chimera, et al, on the first line and expect success, I don't care how much Tavers says he likes playing with them. NYI is in need of a top-6, preferably a right-handed shot, to play with Tavares and Ladd. What can you offer?

Tavares and Leddy untouchables. Anyone else is fair game.

I'd say that you guys have quite a logjam on defense, so I could see one of Hamonic or De Haan being traded for.

 

[SCMURRAY]

Its clear the Isles need a 1RW or 2RW, preferably RHS. Cal C is the only legitimate RW on the team..Isles best trade chips are probably Strome, Nelson, Bailey or DeHaan

Drew Stafford

Drew Stafford

He's a top six forward?

 

[madpooh]

I haven't watched much Isladers this year but wasn't the point of keeping Barzal & Beauvillier to give them top 6 minutes so much so that they released PAP. so with Strome, Lee, Nelson, & the 2 kids whats the problem?

Beau if LW which the Isles have more then enough and Barzal is a center whom they do not want on the wing so he's only played 1 of 5 games so far. Isles desperately need a RW who actually plays RW not C/LW

You could argue he is an adequate 2nd line RW(ie if you listed the best 60 RWs in the league he might fall into that 50-60 range)

Pretty sure Beauvillier has played on the right wing in the past, but your point is still valid, they need a true RW. Seems like the loss of Okposo is slowly starting to hurt the Isles..

Drew Stafford

At this stage in his career, I would hardly consider Drew Stafford a top 6er any more.

Nyquist for Harmonic

Nyquist and Tavares should be lights out.

Harmonic upgrades Wings D and they could 1) just keep him or 2) move him to Wpg. for Trouba.

Wings could add prospects or picks for either deal if needed.

Wouldn't give up Hamonic for Nyquist. Maybe something around Dehaan for Nyquist.

A simple no thank you.

Signed every Islanders fan

Drew

At this stage in his career, I would hardly consider Drew Stafford a top 6er any more.

He is the same age as Ladd and potted 20 goals last season. Playing with Ladd and JT he could do his career high of 31.

Detroit needs to add something significant (1st, Mantha, AA...eg) to Nyquist. That doesn't mean Brendan Smith, etc... Top pairing D (especially RD) are expensive.

 

[SCMURRAY]

I'd do deHaan for Nyguist straight up

While I would love this deal, don't think it works cap-wise for the Isles.

No thanks no need for LD other then Fowler. Would take more then just De Haan to get Nyquist out of Detroit.

Not much though. I think DeHaan could be a good second pairing D, he hasn't hit 200GP yet.

I'd say that's a safe bet considering he already is lol

 

[CodeE]

I'd like to see a new coach before making any huge trades.

Really wish we would have spent the 3rd on Yakupov rather than Prince though. Or gotten both.

I'll add Hamonic as an untouchable just because Garth already said no to Hall. Can't really afford to weaken our right side anyway.

There would have to be an add anyway because of cap implications. Isles (surprisingly!) are pretty close to the ceiling.

Really though de Haan is solid, I like him a lot. We can afford to trade him because we have good depth on the left side and he might be exposed in the expansion draft and it's a good bet that he would be taken.

 

[blinkman360]

Paying a price for a top winger after investing top picks into MDC, JHS, Beauvillier, and Bellows seems like poor asset management. Especially when you consider that 3 of those 4 are already at the Pro level.

Give Barzal a spot in the lineup, and either give Beauvillier a shot on JT's wing or call up Ho-Sang, who IMO would be a great fit.

I'd rather have some patience and see what we have internally before paying the price for an outside option.

I think our depth on LD is actually pretty weak after Leddy and de Haan. If you lose de Haan it becomes pretty concerning.
