Trade Deadline

Lou is rumored to want Vatrano and doesn’t seem to want to accept that his roster shouldn’t be buying. Vatrano probably gets similar to the Coleman trade but because the Islanders aren’t a definite playoff team this should be enough with the pick top 10 protected.

I don’t expect Wahlstrom to get qualified so he’s a reclaimation project.

Vatrano is awesome but he’s peak value right now and he won’t fit well in their window.

Rico might re-sign with the ducks as an FA but they should try to cash in on a great player. Jones has looked great at points but he strikes me as a guy that Verbeek might let walk to let younger guys try and make a roster push.

Stauffer was saying that Oilers are interested in him

He deserves a cup run and probably won’t be re-signed with all the players they have coming up.

Serg out need LD, for how good he’s been this is a bargain

Vaks been awesome but with Minty, Zell, Lacombe, Hinds and Dionicio he’s redundant and too good to be a 7th D.

This is made similar to the Gauthier Drysdale trade. Boqvist is kinda squeezed out of the depth chart with Jiricek and Severson on the right side for a while and hasn’t really hit a consistent stride in the NHL.

Lundy is a similar story to Boqvist he’s squeezed out to a 4th C with Carlson Zegras and McT with Gaucher and Groulx nipping at his heels. They could use another RHD. And this year and next it’ll probably look like Gudas, Boqvist, Luneau, Helleson.
