Kyle Palmieri has been very good since returning from injury, Cam Atkinson didn’t play a single game this year. In what world would the isles make that swap one for one? Much less give up a pick to make the swap so we can get an injured player with retention smh.

Isles would pass. Atkinson will be 34 and coming off neck surgery, and Seeler is a 6th/7th D at best on a contender. Why would the Islanders give up a guy who's still somewhat productive (15-16-31 in 49 GP averages out to a 25-26-51 line over 82 GP) *and* a somewhat decent pick to save a measly $1.25M next season?

CBJ deal: Sure but think CBJ may not want to get rid of Boqvist
MIN deal: No for both sides
NYI deal: No for both sides, especially NYI
SEA deal: No for SEA

Eh, CBJ can do better for Boqvist. I wouldn’t want to include him in a Hayes trade. I still stand by a 2nd/3rd plus Foudy and/ Bemstrom.



CBJ aren’t trying to get rid of Boqvist, but with Jiricek coming, he’s likely to get squeezed out considering his high-offense play style.



Was about to say, isn’t there questions about whether Cam will even play again?

Which, I guess it means he could be a good LTIRetire guy for a team needing cap, but I wouldn’t move much (if anything) for him right now.

Yeah agree with you about Boqvist, I personally would like the Flyers to get him but it'd have to be more than just Hayes or maybe less/lower picks.
