Hell noWould the Isles actually move Dobson?

Nelson is 10 years older and entering the twilight of his career, Rossi is on an ELC and hasn't even entered his prime. Your expectation that Nelson will not decline due to age is naive, or disingenuous. Can't be bothered to figure out which.Why not? If the Wild turn out to be a real playoff contender, why wouldn't they want to trade for a tru 2C, probably low 1C who is a constant to get you 35 & 35 every year. His play will age well and he's from Minnesota so he definitely wouldn't oppose it. Trading Rossi is tricky, but if you don't believe he a huge piece to build around then going for it while also getting a pick back is reasonable. Nelson on his own would get a 1st + a decent player which is probably around Rossi's value, and the pick covers the future risk you take, even though you get better
Dobson is a restricted free agent. Lou usually gets those guys signed long term at fair or below market value.Not surprised the isles want to trade an unsigned player (Dobson) for someone with term (kaprisov)
Nobody wants to play for the isles unless you overpay them. I can’t think of one free agent that took a discount to sign with NYI
Uncle Lou is only able to sign bottom 6 players to lifetime contracts.
Why not?
no kidding. one's a top 5 winger man, lol.As much as I like Dobson, Kaprizov for me is more valuable than him. Don't know enough about the other guys in the deal to judge it overall but if Kap is willing to stay with the wild, I'm not trading him.
To be fair Dobson is probably Top 10D or close to it. He was 8th in Norris voting last year.no kidding. one's a top 5 winger man, lol.
Not without an overpayment in return that makes the Isles better overall.Would the Isles actually move Dobson?
He absolutely will be if he isn't willing to re-sign and has told them that, which is an unsubstantiated rumour. Wouldn't be at all shocking if he's a Panarin 2.0Kaprizov is not being traded before the Wild have an opportunity to re-sign him.
Old expensive junk?? Nelson maybe, but Dobson is absolutely a treasure and not at all old, but as long as Faber is for real, which he looks to be so far, kinda makes Dobson mootmy old expensive junk for your young cheap treasure please
Might be directed towards the “Rossi for Nelson” offer, which was absurd, from another Isles fan. That poster made another offer elsewhere involving Nelson for a much younger 2C.Old expensive junk??

he hasn't told wild anything. stop freaking lying and making crap up. wild aren't dealing Kaprizov under any circumstances. You clearly don't know how Bill Guerin, especially how wild owner operates. Lol. That Chicago bullshit that was proven to not be true and made up. Kaprizov legit can't resign until next summer legally with since you can't sign extension until there's only 1 year left.He absolutely will be if he isn't willing to re-sign and has told them that, which is an unsubstantiated rumour.

Ah ok, gotcha. Well tbf, Rossi is tiny and has been rumoured to be on the block for a reason. He'll likely put up numbers, but given his size, a swap for Nelson seems reasonable if a team is looking for the much more physical game Nelson can bring, not to mention his sniping abilities. I could definitely see Guerin liking Nelson way more than a tiny, injury prone kidMight be directed towards the “Rossi for Nelson” offer, which was absurd, from another Isles fan.

I'm not lying or making anything up, I said it's an unsubstantiated rumour, I didn't say it was a fact, what's your problem? Any GM in the league would deal him the second they get an inkling he won't re-sign and the more term left, the better the return. If you think he would just let Kap walk as a UFA, it might mean you don't know wtf you're talking about. And if you can't see the parallels between him and Bread man, it just confirms that is the casehe hasn't told wild anything. stop freaking lying and making crap up. wild aren't dealing Kaprizov under any circumstances.

Which he hasn’t done, so what I said is 100% truth.He absolutely will be if he isn't willing to re-sign and has told them that, which is an unsubstantiated rumour. Wouldn't be at all shocking if he's a Panarin 2.0
