Gusev Leddy for Zucker Key FAs

Before July 1st, I would’ve said no way, but Minnesota my actually be delusional enough to do this, they still think they’re contenders lol

I know Zucker for Leddy has been thrown around a lot, but I don't see Minnesota doing this, they already have Suter and Brodin locked up on the left side for 7.5m and 4.2m, can't see them adding Leddy to that for 5.5m per.

Also, not a fan of the Boyle signing... we have Barzal, Nelson, Cizikas, Fritz as centers right now, with Koivula waiting in the wings. Plus Beau, Bailey and Komarov (albeit badly) can all play C as well.

I think Boyle is a great fit on the Islanders. Also, if not to MIN, where do u think Leddy goes?

I'm not saying he wouldn't fit, I'm just saying I don't like the signing because we have enough bottom 6 guys making 3+ million per year and we have a bunch of young guys ready for the NHL, we could run a 3rd line out there for dal Colle-Beau-Ho-Sang for the amount it would cost us to sign Boyle.

I think MTL would be a good fit for Leddy if they miss out on Gardiner. Also, OTT is pretty thin on the Left side defensively after Chabot, but I'm not sure how much they would want to add Leddy given they aren't likely to be good. Any team that's in on Gardiner if MTL signs him.

i agree. i alsothink that Dzingle/ Johansson are also options, if we miss out on Gusev
