theminister Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Clearly a lot of people in this thread have not actually seen him play. He's a potential game changer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He wants out of NY because he is not happy i wonder what he would say if he played under Vignaults watchfull eye. Hodgson v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think the Nucks have a slightly better development system than the NYI.........and he would better leaders around him to help him adjust. I don't know anyone in the Isles organization anymore, but it just screams cluster**** to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The Islanders are such a terrible organization. Hire a real GM not a back-up goalie with little to no management experience. The amount of top players they could and have drafted in the past 15 years, they should be icing all-star teams by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I agree with you on the cluster but if he doesnt play the way Vignault wants him to play he will be in the minors in a NY second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I do not think we possess the bargaining chips that it would require for us to get a player like Nino - or at least not pieces we are prepared to part with without damaging our "core". Not like its's going to be Raymond, Ballard + 2nd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeria Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If we want to trade for him, then I don't think Luongo will be part of that. I highly doubt he would want to go to the Islanders of all teams... He also didn't like how he was traded by the organization back then. Even though Milbury is long gone, I doubt he would want to go back. I guess he could go back and laugh at DiPietro..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't see Gillis biting on this one. I can't see what we would give up. If Nino was really stubborn we might be able to get him for Gaunce and a 1st but unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Tough package to gauge. They seem fairly set on D after all their waiver wire pickups, and I don't know that we'd want to take on DiPietro and Vis for all the issues they have. Perhaps: Luongo*, Ballard, Rodin (or Grenier if they want some size?) for Niederreiter, Streit, 1st I originally thought Wishart so we could have him as depth in the AHL but they'd likely want cap to be going the other way as well so I included Streit even if he is a big piece to get back (although pending UFA at 35 years old). Visnovski doesn't exactly fit that bill unless they think he really won't play for them since he's only paid $3M this year but the Islanders get to make use of his $5.6M cap hit. DiPietro is just too much for me to think Aquilini would be ok with taking him on and then buying him out in the summer, even if he might be ok as a backup for Schneider. Everyone else is on reasonable contracts so that brings me to the '*' beside Luongo's name. We could keep a portion of his salary while he plays for the Isles and allow them his full cap hit. They'd still have to find something to do with DiPietro and I don't think they can afford to buy him out, so that's the snag, but maybe it's possible. Otherwise it'd have to be a deal without Luongo (he wouldn't likely waive his NTC for Brooklyn anyway), say Neiderreiter for Rodin or Grenier and a 2nd.

Pears Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Nino would be amazing. Just imagine how much better our prospect pool would be Jensen - Gaunce - Niederreiter Rodin - Schroeder - Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If this is true a very comparable situation would be Kyle Turris. Rundblad and a 2nd fetched him. I'd offer tanev and a 3rd for nino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Guys, Rodin has almost no value either in trade or as a prospect right now. His upside is disintegrating. He's a pipe dream until he can show something more than he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo1970 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just read an article on tsn.ca that has Gillis saying that a potential deal is in place with a team that has a player that needs to be dealt with. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
