nameci Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 A simple two for two trade: the underperforming Elias Petterson and Brock Boeser for the equally underperforming Matt Barzal and Oliver Wahlstrom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I'd do it if they also added Dobson and we added Rathbone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The islanders don’t have the cap space to take on the extra $5m in cap. Not to mention Boeser will need a raise next summer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good idea. Wahlstrom is a younger version of Boeser and the Islanders want to win right now. So they actually might bite on that part. For the Barzal/Pettersson part they are also similar and it’s a swap of the faces of the franchise; but Barzal right now is a better player. Much faster, healthier, more confident, and consistent. Would you do… Canucks: Barzal Wahlstrom Islanders: Pettersson Boeser 2nd 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) I'd try and get the Islanders to bite on either Boeser or Miller. One of those two for Wahlström and Mayfield would be my deal. I would keep Petey around and have an all Swedish 1st line: Höglander Pettersson Wahlström Podkolzin Horvat Klimovich I'd have the Russians playing with Horvat. I think this top 6 would be elite. Play Mayfield with Hughes. I'd even throw in Rathbone to close this deal. Would need to add in Clutterbuck to make the salaries work...

nameci Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 I am really put off by Petterson’s lazy play on defense. He just doesn’t seem to want to get involved. Likewise, Boeser seems to be just going through the motions in both zones. He is one dimensional and I would be extremely hesitant to give him the money he will be asking when his contract expires. Miller plays with fire in his belly every game. This is the kind of guy you want on your team. We are a soft team as it is and losing Miller would just make the situation worse. I agree with the Islanders dumping a contract like Clutterbuck’s to make the money work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Pettersson + Miller For Barzal + Dobson + [some cap dump to even things out cap wise]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I was just looking at this too... can't believe NYI is struggling so badly either. I think realistically, a 1-for-1 swap of Barzal and Petey would make a lot of sense. Both players are struggling... give them both a fresh start. Would love Dobson too, but there would need to be some cap juggling to make that part work. Not sure NYI would be looking to move him anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
