  1. This trade makes me think back to the draft. Remember it was reported that a deal was done with the Islanders and that it involved Miller? Gotta wonder if a very similar package was involved in that offer. Was this just a continuation of those negotiations with Miller swapped out for Horvat? Im thinking Allvin might have been after Raty for awhile now.
  2. I think they likely knew they had a young center coming in that was gonna play in Abbotsford. Probably made them okay with losing Pederson yes.
  3. Didn’t realize Bo’s agent represents a lot of Isles players. Pat Morris represents Bailey, Cizakas, Martin, and Clutterbuck. Wouldn’t be surprised if that factored in for Lou. Clearly he’s done a lot of business with Bo’s agent. Should help in negotiations.
  4. Meier is the best player on the market this year. Let’s see what he goes for before we claim we should have got a better deal.
  5. Isles fans were convinced Lou must have had a deal in place to pay that much. So much for that…
  6. The 13th pick gives them a future asset that they can swap to help them continue competing. The longer they hold onto Lafreniere the more his stock drops. At some point they just have to say it’s not working there. He’s getting buried by how deep they are.
  7. Dach is the best comparable and he went for a 13th overall pick. If the Rangers are ready to move on they could use that pick to acquire another piece. His stock is continuing to fall.
  8. I don’t think they have the patience to wait 5 years though. I see them trading that pick. It should be for a D man but they’ll trade it for a winger. Theyre really high on Lafreniere.
  9. How would people feel about them trading the Isles pick for Lafreniere? I could see that being a move they make. Similar to the trade the Habs made for Dach. I think that’s the timeline they’re looking at. They likely want 20-23 year old players.
  10. Gonna have to take a bad contract to trade Miller, no other way around it.
  11. Too bad we didn’t draft Kemmel. Apparently him and Raty had really good chemistry together at the world juniors.
  12. Sounds a lot like Timothy Liljegren… We don’t need more soft puck movers. We need some guys that bring some size and snarl to their game. If we can’t get a legit two-way defender with size we should just load up on centers. Try and get a couple 2nds and draft defenders there.
  13. Honestly if we are able to trade him I fully expect a bad contract coming back. It wouldn’t be a deal people like but it would be necessary to reset things. Maybe it gets us another first and a good prospect, but I don’t expect much cap savings.
  14. I’d still gamble on that 2024 though. What if it’s a 5-10 overall and a chance to win the draft lottery? Even in deep drafts it’s easy to miss from 15-20.
  15. At this point don’t they kinda need to ship out Miller if they wanna actually reset the leadership group? If they try and make Petey captain Miller is still gonna be the “alpha dog” leader again and we’ll run into the same problems. Only way to change the culture is to cut people out who were part of this leadership group.
  16. What are we arguing about? The pick is top 12 protected. If it was lotto protected they would have said lotto protected. If the Isles finish with the number 12 pick or higher then it slides to 2024. Whats so confusing?
  17. Trevor Linden came back 5 years after he was traded at age 32. We’ll bring Bo back when this team is ready to compete for a cup. Bo will be 32 in 5 years.
  18. Considering we just added two more contracts with potential trades to come and NCAA signing season fast approaching. Yes we absolutely do need contracts spots open.
  19. Miller to Carolina for Kotkaniemi, Morrow, and their 1st! Lets go!!
  20. He’d basically be getting back what he just gave up with very little gained. Not really that great of a move when Bo is exactly the type of player they need.
  21. Yea that would be a bad look. I think Lou is too stubborn for that. For a month of Bo they trade a 13-15 pick and their best prospect only to get a 26-32 pick back and maybe an equal prospect?
