AngryElf Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) We've already heard that a Bailey trade could be coming, and a Kadri signing could be coming, but I'm curious what else they could have up their sleeves? Could we pry Mayfield or Pulock in a Miller deal? Surely not Dobson... right? Islanders have over $11 Million in cap space with Bellows, Dobson and Romanov being RFA's right now, and Barzal (RFA) / Wahlstrom (RFA) / Mayfield (UFA) / Varlamov (UFA) / Parise (UFA) all coming off the books next year. Something has to happen in these dog days of Summer before I eat my furniture out of boredom... or a cat if you're Alf Edited August 10, 2022 by AngryElf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I feel like if they get Kadri, Miller is off the table for them. But it is Lou so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Like I've been saying, Kadri signing and the associated cap moves have probably been done and pending for a while Lou Lam being Lou Lam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be a very tough division, maybe the toughest to get a top 3 spot in with Naseum heading to NYI. We might be looking at 5 teams in the metro capable of breaking 100 pts, maybe even 6 capable of high 90's. I actually think the one thing thats come up is the Patches injury in Carolina that might make a Miller trade possible, along with Kadri to NYI. I don't want it, but maybe this? Miller 2.25 mil retained, for Necas, Morrow and a 2nd. Pick is to compensate for retention to make the deal cap neutral. Keeps Carolina more competitive while Patches recovers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks-12 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 They’re trying to clear cap space. Don’t think they would want Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Islanders are a weird team. Actually surprised they added Romanov as it seems like they only want 30 years old on big dollar and term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If the Canucks are getting anything from the Isles it will be Romanov. Another LHD, smaller and less aggressive than we need. Possibly Bellows included. We're not getting Barzal and we're sure as hell not getting Dobson without Lou having a stroke of some sort Odds are it is their two non Dobson RFA's a bigger contract on a roster player like Poolock and a 2nd or 3rd. That is IF and ONLY IF we see Miller going to the Island 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it'd take is other GM's playing ball and not allowing a leak. Realistically four moves would just be Kadri and their RFA's, so likely only one other team being involved. All it'd take is a deal set in place in principle, teams can afford to be patient if they're the ones taking dumped cap as opposed to chasing players. But yeah, it's a tough division. Could see a Carolina move, it'd be an interesting return albeit not a slam dunk return. But hey, I don't expect a slam dunk return at this point. Just a fair one.

People really should take a look at necas before wanting him. Poor defensively and a pure perimeter player. Solid play maker but none of this screams the type of player we need. Turning play drivers into more passengers isn't the play to make imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like the new pain point with Carolina might shake something loose. Losing Trocheck is a big veteran loss too. Miller now makes a lot of sense for them imo, given that they really didn't make up for the loss of C depth and now Patches going down they lose that veteran presence and his offence. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
