The Three Year Core

Gotta think islanders decline

Why?

Oilers aren’t trading the 2024 1st

I just feel like they want to keep him around you’d have to massively overpay to get him

Unless the team is committed to tanking out the rest of the year, that pick is going to be in the 14-20 range and is so very unlikely to produce a plug-and-play prospect. There's no sense to that philosophy unless the goal is a top-10 selection.



Dobson is heir apparent to the top pair and Mayfield is going to be around for a few years. Pelech and Pulock are the two guys on the back end that the Islanders can commit to moving for a haul to Kickstart their rebuild before their expensive forwards aren't worth their contracts.
