Buyout Strategy

Équipe: 2020-21 Islanders de New York

Date de création initiale: 6 nov. 2020

Publié: 8 nov. 2020

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

1. The Sabres would like to move money if they can, and Okposo's contract is a lot more than Boychuk is. Isles can buy him out and call it a day.

2. Yes, Ladd is on LTIR. And yes, I know people have said that he wants to keep playing, but let's be honest: he directly cost the Isles Game 2 of the ECF. His knees are shot and at some point he's got to think about the long-term. Robidas Island exists for a reason with Lou Lamoriello. Make him a coach or something to keep him in the game.

3. Devils are going to likely lose Palmieri in the offseason. The Isles could trade for him with prospects, picks, Komarov and Hickey- but only if they get Palmieri on a long-term extension. Isles don’t need to do this, though, they can just bury guys in the minors.

4. Sign Duclair and reunite him with Pageau. Or maybe go after Athanasiou. Or Brassard. Or Granlund.

5. For 2021-2022 the Isles have at least $16 million in cap space before they LTIR Ladd and lose either Leddy or Bailey to the Kraken in the expansion draft. More than enough to resign Beauviller, Pelech, Sorokin, and Palmieri (if they get him).
