NYI and TBL and many other teams still have cap issues. I worry a bit about term and age here, and the PED stuff. I'd prefer younger with less money and term. I'm not sure he's a good fit for the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa has no interest in trading Cernak despite Canucks fans penciling him into lineups. NYI is unlikely to trade any D unless we pay big for them.

There’s lots of top d in their 30s id rather have a younger option too but this guy imho is an upgrade on Tanev. Hard to say really, but those are the reasons he's not appealing to many. 2 minutes ago, Monty said: Then people here should hate Myers. He asked, I answered.

According to the Vegas subreddit and Twitter he is the locker room glue. Take that with a grain of salt but while researching this guy that comes up frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few guys can be really effective playing both sides. It’s a nice trait to have. Schmidt is a top 4 Dman. Benn is a fringe NHL er at this point We'd be committing pretty much 6 million per season for 5 years for him. I'd rather have a natural rightie for that cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 1 minute ago, Robert Long said: he might be, its just the near 6 mil and 5 more years part. At 29. But if it comes with their 1st then whoopee, bye bye Loui. If Vegas needs to pay a 1st to move a top pair D in Schmidt, there's no way a team would accept that same 1st to take on Loui. They would just take Schmidt themselves. But I doubt it would cost that much to move Nate, if anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwags Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Would take Schmidt over Tanev in a heartbeat, even with that contract. Question is, what would we give up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy who met Booth, and had the chance to spend some real time with him. He would 100% agree with that statement in regards to real life as well.

The islanders are handcuffed after Barzal is signed, but they will move other pieces. These other pieces should trickle down to other moves I'm thinking. There will be someone available that we never considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vegas would have to add, teams know they're in a tough spot If he can play the right side, which he apparently can, it might not be the worst thing Bottom line is we've gotta add someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
