I'm asking you! Which Islanders Center than can play in the top 9 on an NHL team is most expendable and what would Snow want for him?
- Jeropotato

The only possible player would be Frans Neilsen but I think a hockey trade would be difficult to make bc 1 team wouldn't part w/an asset & the other team wouldn't want whats prob offered. If I had to say, a particular type of top 4 Dman

No. What would you want for either Lee or Nelson?
- Iggysbff

Nelson - not moving and has become untouchable

Lee - depends on the offer.... listening

Huh? You think Marleau will get far and away more than Spezza and Kessler? Why am I not surprised?

"Those 2 guys got market return but my guy is worth waaaaay more because he plays on my team"
- Jeropotato

Well. He should. He always performs. Has no injury history. Kesler may never touch his best season again. Spezza is one injury away from retirement.

Justin Schultz?

Sorry but either your over-valuing what Coburn is or under-valuing Perron? Some Flyer fans want to ship out Coburn bc of his play but don't want to make a hockey trade for Perron ( which on a lousy Oiler team, produced large ). Now grant it, if you value more the D than O, then I can understand your point, but what type of return do u think you can get for Coburn? ( And I'm not doubting his value, just Perron would be a good get ).
- Ur Not Me

This!
I'd trade Coburn for Perron in a heartbeat. The Flyers need to ship out one of their defensemen. There's no need to have 6 defensemen making over 3.5 million each.

My point is that everyone expects some huge return for their Star player....and 90% of the time the trade on the surface is fairly underwhelming.

My bad, he's listed as a centre on Hockeydb (and since I don't watch many Isle games I just went with that), but as a winger that's even worse. Calgary has more left wingers than any team should have.. More left handed shooters than any team should ever have… He's just not the type of player Calgary needs.
- Talking_hockey1

He's a playmaker but just hasn't been consistent enough but has improved his defense. Bailey can play either W/C

Justin Schultz?

I would too, like I mentioned, I think Perron would be a good get...

* Hearing the Leafs have a strong interest in working out a deal/offer sheeting Ryan O'Reilly.

Do the Leafs even have enough cap room to offer ROR a contract? Like they still have to ice a full team come opening day....

From a source...
"The Avalanche are very aggressively trying to lock up O'Reilly of course and would 99% match any offer sheet that Toronto puts their way, however there are some defensive options the Leafs could offer up in a trade.."

Honestly I doubt the Avs will lose both Statsny and ROR in the same offseason.

* Also hearing the Flames have made a trade offer to the Islanders for Josh Bailey...they aren't the only team interested..

If this trade isn't a multi-player trade involving Giordano going the other I don't see it happening.

* The Flyers are still talking to the Preds about a possible Lecavalier deal and according to one all places source have had discussions in the last 2 days with the Oilers about Brayden Cobourn...

Only way the Flyers rid themselves of Lecavalier is if they take more then a million in return off his salary for the rest of his contract.

* The Sharks are once again talking to Carolina...Cam Ward for Patrick Marleau is still possible...


Stalock and Niemi are miles better then Ward. They also don't have a $6.3 million cap hit. Plus Ward is usually injured half the year+. He's nothing more then DiPietro 2.0. Ward has not had a good season since he won the cup; and that was a very long time ago.
- Jammerz04

Are they giving us Reinhart and Dal Colle too? Why the hell would it need to involve our best player to get a top 9 forward?

- Jeropotato

I get your point and agree, but I know ppl expect or think that certain players on their team are gonna get a huge return, I don't, I try to be realistic on things...

Justin Schultz?
- Jeropotato

For Neilsen? Never.

For Nelson or Lee then we can talk.

Nielsen no thanks.

Why would the avs trade a player they need badly now that statsny is gone. Also don't see cam ward being an answer in Sj at all.

Jeff Petry?
- Jeropotato

try again....


I think the perfect trade scenario would be Frans for Hjalmarsson but I understand CHI wouldn't bc of the uncertainty of rest of D.

Also if the Isles didn't sign Grabo & have Nelson & Strome as C, Isles wouldn't trade Frans, but I also think that Frans is not available now and think Snow will try to trade Bailey and/or Grabner 1st.

Maybe his best season has not been played yet .

You're over valuing Coburn. They almost traded him for 2 - 2nd round picks last year.

- rubberduckies

Dont get me wrong. I love the Kesler trade for the Ducks. And its what they needed. I also hate it because the Ducks got better. And yeah, maybe his best season is yet to come.

On that note. I can just see how Marleau would have more value than Kesler and Spezza.

Yeah? The Leafs want to put in an offer sheet, without their 2nd round pick next year?

Do some research Ek

Leafs trade Kadri, Lupul, Franson and 2016 2nd round pick to Colorado for Ryan O'Reilly, Jamie McGinn and a 2015 4th round pick...Offer it up Nonis!!!

fixed

- Glak18

Of the three people that commented on the trade proposal, you're the only one that thinks it's far fetched. I guess the three of us are idiots and you're the master? Wake up, Perron for Coburn would be a fair trade. I guess you think Coburn should fetch Taylor Hall? You're CLEARLY overvaluing Coburn.

This! The guy is an idiot for thinking Coburn is worth more than Perron.
