Drouin Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 What would it take for us to acquire him via trade? IMO, Okposo+Kassian on a line = deadly power line. IF we were to get him, our top-6/top-9 would definitely improve instantly. My bet would be Higgins+prospect? or ++? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Doubt they'll trade him at this point unless some team really believes they can turn his game around and pays a hefty price. He has been relatively disappointing most of his career and it has lowered his value. However, he did finish this season off pretty strongly, so the Islanders might want to keep him around to see what he does in 13/14. His late-season push wasn't enough to raise his trade value, so it's not like the Islanders can "sell high". Personally I wouldn't want to trade for him in case that stretch was just a hot streak (although his play-style changed/improved, not just stats wise). I think we need more skills players, anyway; not interested in a power-forward. As for your proposal, it makes almost no sense for them to trade him for a 3rd line grinder and a prospect. They're towards the end of their rebuild and want to start competing and he's a young NHL ready 2nd liner. They'd likely want young NHLer(s) in return and we don't have any to spare.

Plum Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Why?? We need right wingers. Kassian Hansen Weise ???? Left wing....... Daniel Burrows Booth Higgins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 We have one LW playing RW. Sedin-Sedin-Hansen Burrows-Kesler-Kassian Booth-Gaunce-Higgins Sestito-Richardson-Weise Higgins is the 3rd line winger. Our top 9 is already fine, and our wingers. Maybe a depth RW but that's about it, we don't need any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven pounds soft Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I disagree 2nd line right wing is our most glaring hole besides no fourth line. Hansen is not a 1st line right winger. Kassian might be our best choice for that. Personally I think we have one too many 3rd line floaters. I like the boys but it's time for a change. The smartest move would be to bring Up a prospect for the second line , Schroeder/Jensen And trade one of our extra floaters for a legit 4th line beast , chipchura/ Abdelkater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
