They are pissed that they traded their top prospect plus a 1st round pick and they aren't even a playoff team. I do agree with them. It's crazy for them to make this deal when they may not even make the playoffs. Desperate move by Lou IMO. Also, I didn't realize the Islanders have traded their 1st round pick 4 years in a row now. Crazy. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy it's more a futures oriented trade. Shows at least some discipline and patience with trading for a prospect and pick. Just hoping we stick to our guns and not rush it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cizikas where’s it because that’s the number they gave him in rookie camp and he never bothered to change it. Bo doesn't seem like the kind of guy to demand another's number. I'm sure he'll just pick something else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good valued 1st round pick, an excellent prospect in Raty and Beauvillier could be a low-key decent add. Beauvillier is only 25 years old and former 1st round pick. Had some pretty decent junior numbers and cracked the NHL right away. Near 500 games played already at about 0.5ppg career pace. Don't think he's been on a line with a player like Petey before, so perhaps he could see his offensive output elevated. Best player was Barzal and I just don’t think they played well together. I’m expecting him to flank JT Miller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad_BOI_pete Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 12 minutes ago, Provost said: Islanders fans seem to think they are really lucky to shed Beauvillier as a cap dump. We paid a 2nd just to get rid of a few hundred thousand in the Dickenson-Stillman swap So taking on $4.1 x two years is a big hit. If we got another overpaid winger while we are considering buying out a better one in Garland, that doesn’t make much sense. We are worse in the short term for the next two years. I can accept that if they proceed to really go down that path by moving a few more players. If they did this move and follow it up by trying to make us “competitive” next year then this isn’t a good plan. We would have been better off taking a later 1st without taking any money back beyond this season. I would not make judgement from fans perspective.... but you do you....

Strawbone Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I’m happy with this trade. The team needed a big change. Bo was a very good player, but not a star, and getting a mid-1st round pick and a good prospect C and middle-6 winger seems fair. I’m sure there are more moves coming, and I’m excited to watch a different team down the stretch and over the next few years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see us winning this trade ultimately in the end 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his tenacity and his speed. in the right system / line mates he could really fit in well. i like what he brings dollar value over gsrland and boeser of this season as his skill set and attributes are different and fit better roles we need to compliment our core pieces. plus he can PK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn it, you read my post before my edit. You got more to read. All is well and Timrå plays alright for now. We don’t eat pickled herring here. The can(in the film) with the fermented fish we eat is made in Timrå. So you should order a few cans yourself and man up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 If we don't win the Connor Bedard sweepstakes how many seasons until we can get him as a UFA. Is it 7 seasons? 3 years on ELC then 4 on a contract? Would put him at 26? years old ... Serious question folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they just traded their top prospect and haven't had a 1st round pick in 4 years. Not sure how long their window will be. Maybe 3-4 years. Lou is all in on this trade. If it doesn't work out then they will need to get rid of Lou and tear it all down... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
