Proposal: Van - NYI

Canucks would do that but I doubt NY would. We would need to add to that at least another prospect or 2. Raty + Mynio also included would get their attention probably. I'd rather swap out Willander for Lekkermaki thou
Isles wouldn’t touch this deal. Realistically doesn’t help them moving both Barzal and Horvat at a discount. Plus if they accepted the deal, there’s literally NO ONE to play in the top 6 as a center on the roster and a 3rd line winger plus defenseman who’s 3 years away doesn’t do anything for the team at the moment. There would need to be an upgrade if they were to move both together like this. Now with you bringing up Mynio, I don’t have an interest in him just like Mailloux who Habs fans keep including. Raty being returned doesn’t do it either.

I’m breaking down his deal like this:

Barzal for 1st, Wallinder
Horvat for 1st, 2nd, Hoglander

You can decline the proposal above based on wanting other parts but it's more than fair imo. You clearly haven't followed Canucks prospects. Willander is an elite 20 year old future top pairing RHD projected by many to step into the line up next year. Def not 3 years.........He's one of the top 5 or so defensive prospects currently outside the NHL. The package below for Barzal is pretty on point I would say.......

Barzal for 26 1st, Willander, Hoglander **if anything this is a slight overpayment
Horvat for 25 1st, 26 2nd, Raty and Mynio

I could see the Isles pushing for Lekkermaki instead of Mynio (while maybe removing the second). I might even consider that.

Not sure the isles would want to do this without getting a high end C prospect coming back. Raty has played very well for us to end the season and projects to be a 3C but no where near at present the upside of Horvat or Barzal unless he continues to improve his skating (he has made solid strides this year though so anything is possible).

The original offer is not the one you adjusted and that’s the one I had an issue with. That one was terrible for the Isles and doesn’t help them out one bit fill any holes left by moving out both Barzal and Horvat.
Now if we talk Wallinder, I could have sworn I saw he was going back to college for another year. That’s another year of development that would help out but still leaves the Isles with nothing to put on the ice currently to even stay competitive.
You’re starting to understand when you said that the Isles need a high end center prospect coming back and a defenseman who had 26 points last season really isn’t it. He’s at best a C+/B- prospect and currently the Isles have plenty of those. Raty showed promise his small stint here with the Isles but personally I feel like he’s going to be one of those mediocre middle 6 guys who will bounce around after a bunch of 1-3 year deals while having a career year of 40-45 points. Also, Hoglander comes with way too much term and gives the Isles another long term contract there’s no way of escaping (without adding something in to move) to add to the collection. Without the Isles sending back a player such as Mayfield of Engvall, Hoglander really doesn’t work coming this way just to offset salary.

Yeah we clearly aren't on the same page re Willander. "At best a C+/B prospect". Ok then......He's one of the TOP 5 defensive prospects outside the NHL - you rating him based on his point totals this year tells me you haven't watched him play. Perhaps go and review the last World Juniors where he was Swedens best defenceman - relied on more heavily then ASP - who you probably love and think has way more value cus he has "more points". He's Vancouvers top prospect..........he hasn't signed yet so that's probably why you are thinking he is going back to college but there's a 95% chance he will and more than likely step into Van's top 4 as a 20 year old rhd.

Yes completely understand if you guys expect a top C prospect coming back as I probably would as well.

However If you guys are selling those 2 you aren't looking to ice a competitive team for a few years as the goal clearly would be to tank and load up on prospects for a rebuild.

Hoglander has played extremely well for us lately........he's definitely stepped up and any team in the know will view him as an asset def. not a cap dump. A year ago he had 24 goals...... Glad to move around salaries to make this work and totally get if you want a high end C coming back but overall my adjusted trade was extremely fair.

Mynio is the C+/B- prospect who had a grand total of 26 points, not Wallinder. I’ve heard enough about Wallinder to know better about him. Mynio should stay in Vancouver the same way Rathbone did when he kept getting included in deals being overhyped.
The whole thing with adding in Hoglander even if he plays well is that his new deal kicks in next season and that’s an additional 2m with term. Thats why I added in the long term contract going out. The Isles can’t move out their 2 best forwards, add in only futures and another cap dump who will just eat up a spot for too many years thus clogging up a spot for a young player since it’ll have to include assets to move him out.
Personally I want 2 top forward prospects (including a center) in return if they move both Barzal and Horvat over a defenseman and a lower end defensive prospect. The Islanders need high end offensive still to add into the already barebones prospect pool. Eiserman, Ritchie and Nelson are all solid prospects but realistically not enough if one out of the 3 hits their projection.

Ok got it - yeah agree Mynio is a B level prospect that's why i said the Isles would push for Lekkermaki which is an A level prospect. So would be Lekk, Willander, Raty, 2 firsts Hoglander - pretty massive package (our 2 best prospects, 2 firsts and some nice complementary pieces). You can argue about wanting a high level C in there instead and I don't blame you - overall that value is pretty solid. As a Van fan I would think long and hard over that and I doubt management would do it but the value is there for both sides.

That’s more likes it for both honestly. I couldn’t see a team ever moving both of their top 6 centers (or top 2 forward) in the same deal without having a reasoning to do so. I would doubt Vancouver would move both top prospects without realistically not being able to sign one because they refused to play for Vancouver similarly to how Adam Fox held out from Calgary.
If a deal was to happen, I would personally think it would take an overpayment on Vancouvers part to beat out separate offers on both players. This would also take Lou being forced into a rebuild and I don’t think anyone would think he could handle that type of stress.
 
What are you talking about? Mynio had 45 points in 49GP last season. You can’t even read a stat sheet correctly, tells us everything we need to know about your ability to analyze talent.
Congrats on him getting traded and me overlooking the other part of the stat line. Still no interest in him nomatter how many times you try to spin him. The Islanders have plenty of LHD who will develop into a bottom pairing player.

Yeah well seems like as soon as Lou is gone you are more than likely to tear it down and that could happen as early as this summer. Really doubt as well you would sell both players without getting a high end C back. Personally I'm hoping we manage to pry one of the 2 (Horvat or Barzal) away this off season as we could really use one or the other. Both would be a dream but that scenario is pretty far fetched as well.

I’m not trying to trade him to you. I’m just pointing out that you know nothing of the player and your opinion means nothing.

My opinion means nothing because I said no to the player being stuffed into a deal over a better prospect? Next time let’s try to stop asking for the Islanders top 2 forwards and thinking the 1st, 3rd line winger and a filler prospect is plenty to get a deal done. If the Isles offered up a 1st, Pierre Engvall and Danny Nelson for EP40, would you take it? I highly doubt it.

I’m not asking for anything from the Isles. I’m not the one acting as if I know the value of other teams’ assets while clearly knowing nothing of the player.

Your method of “scouting” is clearly just glancing incorrectly at hockeydb.com

So it’s ok when other fanbases do it but no ok because I did it in this instance? We went through this with Barzal/Dobson/Horvat in other threads, same with Horvat. People claiming Barzal is injury prone and his stats are what they are while trying to push other players as being projected because a calculation is .XXX PPG. It’s the same never ending cycle of fanbases wanting player X but not willing to offer up any value because player X only did this for 2 seasons and not that. To cycle back to the original offer, it’s absolutely garbage for both combined and doesn’t really help the Islanders rebuild, it gives Vancouver both at a discount. Even adding in Raty and Mynio doesn’t do much except add in another at best B tier defensive prospect and a forward who will develop into another middle 6 body. Hoglander could have had a solid season but so did Engvall once Roy finally got him to turn on the switch. Too many veteran players with too much term on the Isles roster and some, if not most need to be moved out (all which will require assets to be attached in some form). Adding in more just prolongs that problem.

Dude, I’ve never commented once on this proposal and for the record I don’t think it’s good enough for the Isles to accept.

Even adding in Raty and Mynio doesn’t do much except add in another at best B tier defensive prospect and a forward who will develop into another middle 6 body.
Well I’m glad to see youve at least upgraded Mynio’s prospect status to a “B” now that you have your correct stat line.

Hoglander could have had a solid season but so did Engvall once Roy finally got him to turn on the switch.

I hear ya, Isles’ roster and future is a complete mess. Old senile Lou needs to retire to pasture.
 
Islanders aren't rebuilding and aren't trading two superstars on long term contract for a Defense prospect, a winger in Hogs who's inconsistent, and a C prospect and two 1st round pick. Horvat is worth more than a 1st and prospect. Same with Matt B.

Even if you were to upgrade Mynio to a B status, still not interested. Realistically moving both Barzal and Horvat to get back 2 defensive prospects, a 3rd line winger (with excessive term), and picks (who will hopefully pan out and turn into forwards in that spot) really just becomes one of those trading card pack types of trades where it’s a fancy looking insert card and a bunch of base for 2 rookie cards.
We all know Lou needs to go and the whole hockey ops department needs to be replaced from the president (who is Lou) down to every scout. Even if that does happen, they need to get a direction for the team moving forward and complete rebuild with all those veterans signed for too long really wouldn’t be smart unless they can move out half of them to atleast bring in some of the current youth to play and see what they really have.
To move out Barzal and Horvat and accept that 2nd deal with Wallinder, Raty, Mynio and Hoglander plus the picks would leave the Isles next season with: Pageau, Cizikas, Raty, Maclean down the middle and that’s basically and AHL center core currently. Now add in Hoglander, Engvall, Lee, Holmstrom, Tsyplakov and Gatcomb to that mix (not adding in UFA who might be signed). There’s nothing to drive the puck and even keep them somewhat respectable in the games. The team would honestly rival for one of the worst records in history even if every forward played up to par. The prospects would all be atleast 1-2 seasons away before even being NHL ready to play consistent minutes and even then who knows how Wallinder, Ritchie, Eiserman, Nelson and company would do with absolutely no supporting cast around them. Essentially that would wreck development.

Horvat shouldnt have ever left. Barzal comes home. NY gets King's ransom for rebuild
So Vancouver clears $3 million in cap space by trading Hoglander but then takes on $17.65 million in cap (Horvat at $8.5 million, Barzal at $9.15 million).

I believe the Canucks will have about $14 million in cap space this summer, but that includes letting players like Suter and Boeser walk.

The only way Barzal gets traded is for a straight hockey trade, not futures. A scoring winger and a 2nd pair defenseman for example.

I’m breaking this deal down as such:
Horvat: 1st, 2nd, AHLer/warm body
Barzal: 1st, Lekkerimaki, Garland

Isles pass on this as a whole. Too many moving parts, no center to atleast fill the gaping crater left from both Barzal and Horvat leaving.
