Trade with Islanders to clear cap space

I wonder if they could actually do something like this involving Andrew Ladd. If we took JVRs entire deal, the Flyers get over $2 million in savings over the same term, while the Islanders get a better player.

Personally, I don’t think they can afford another $7 million contract with Barzal, Pulock and Toews needing deals but it would be interesting to look ag

My reasoning is that they get a good goal scorer that can help them contend for "4 million" since they are jettisoning Komarov. The draw for Philly is getting the 4 million in cap space.

Yeah, I’d prefer to move Ladd, just so the Isles aren’t taking on too much extra money, but the term isn’t too much of an issue, they will have money coming off the books soon.

Idk I’d probably be fine with moving Komarov too I just don’t know if the money the Isles would be taking is worth JVR’s dwindling production

Isles need that $4M to pay Barzal and Pulcok. They simply cannot add another long term high priced W at this time as we are already looking at needing to move Leddy in the offseason for cap relief.

Well he'd certainly get more opportunity in Long Island. I think he'll still provide value to you.
