Elliotte Friedman said Soucy wasn’t available at the deadline. My bet is Seattle will resign him or flip him at the deadline for a first round pick. I wouldn’t trade Beauvillier Bellows and a 1st for Fiala. I like Beauvillier’s fit with Nelson and Lee as a puck handler and don’t view Palmieri as the right fit for that first line. Also even though Fiala is obviously better than Beauvillier, that seems like a steep asking price considering you are weakening at least one line by moving Bellows and Beauvillier.
Josh Bailey is worth more than a 3rd. If they can’t get fair value I think you are better off keeping him. I get that some fans really hate his game. I get that his metrics are down this year. But he’s been much better in the second half of the year. I think it’s more of a defense/Covid issue with this team
I honestly think the Isles forward core is fine so long as you make a significant upgrade on defense. Like do you wish they had younger and cheaper wings? Obviously. But the only way you can fix that is by drafting well.
