man its not like the leafs are giving up spare change for him. I hesitate to give Nylander up for him to be honest, but am willing too look past that to get a very good player that addresses our primary need. Isles fans should do the same thing. You couldn't get someone close to nylander's calibre without touching those guys unless you moved barzal, which would be insane

Wow, more misguided views.. Lol

You obviously don't watch the Jets much, Laine is so not lazy away from the puck, the Jets laziest forward away from the puck is their 1C, it's pretty bad watching Scheifele's lack of commitment to play defensively in the defensive zone.

Yeah they're defense isn't great but you're changing the discussion from the original point and really the Jets defense wasn't as bad as its been made out to be this season, their lack of bottom 6 scoring was their biggest problem.

But you fail to see the ultimate point here. The Islanders do NOT have a D surplus. The Leafs DO have an offensive surplus. Maybe you can fetch Dumba, but you're NOT getting Pulock. Dream on!

When RNH's current deal expires they also have Russell and Larsson expiring which is $8M to work with and Bear and Athanasiou aren't going to be getting massive raises anyway, I'm sure they'll figure out a way to keep RNH.

I think the Islanders would have way more difficulty to get RNH with all the dead weight contracts they have and the big money they'll have to hand out in between RNH becoming available.
