I have heard Friedman mention that the Islanders are one of the biggest CK players. I personally do not see it happening without an extension in place. But I also have a feeling that it would have to be an offer too good for JG to pass up on. Bellows is a top 9 F that is still young and can become a top liner, he has a very high ceiling. Normally I’d say that and a 1 is fair for both teams, but considering JG would face a lot of backlash if the Isles get CK and win the cup bc of him, it has to be a massive haul. Yes it may be too big of a haul, but also feel like if this is offered and JG says no, he needs to come up with a much better explanation than “oh it’s the Islanders and I don’t need the fans criticizing me if this doesn’t work out.” If best possible offer, you take it. Also just my opinion if this type of offer is there I wouldn’t be attempting to re-sign CK until 7.1 if Lou says he’d do this with no guarantee of re-signing him. have to take best offer if too good to pass up.
