-Vintage Canuck- Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I wonder if the Islanders will try to acquire a top-six forward before the trade deadline with this announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 How can Lee be done for the season and their team still be listed as having zero cap space available? https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/islanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just lets you go over the cap by that amount (the injured player) but you're still at the cap max. Hope I'm explaining this clearly as lol, I'm half asleep as I type this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade for Hall with retention? 1st, 2nd, decent prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall has the stink of defeat on him and isn't a difference maker when it matters, imo. Wouldn't want to pay that much for him when he was better. I'd be thrilled if we could get a 2nd for Pearson tho, 1/2 retained. That would let NYI go out and get more depth d or another F.

He's still nearly a ppg player, just not this season with Buffalo, which I kind of expected before the season started. So if his value is deflated from this year, he might be one of the better deals to acquire, if you're looking for a direct top line replacement. Plus, if they get him with enough retained, they could still go out and get another roster player for another area.

Kobayashi Maru Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 If we can get a second for Pearson, it's essentially Pearson for Vesey and a 2nd. That would be a decent return and we can move onto a few other moves before deadline. Have to think NYI and Van are at least in some form of discussion.
