Notation going in : if The Islanders don't advance out of the play in round, this trade doesn't happen. LA trades 2OA to Ottawa for 5OA, the NYI 1st round pick and a prospect. Ottawa makes a splash and has 2 & 3OA. They draft Byfield to center Tkachuk and ??? LA drops to 5OA and picks up the extra 1st. They draft a scoring winger, (Perfetti, Raymond, Holtz etc..) which their prospect pool needs. With the NYI 1st, they go BPA or package it with one of their 2nds to move higher up.

I've seen all the Leddy trades, and I don't want to take back Komorov. Also seen all the Edmundson chatter. I don't think he's the right guy. I'd take a shot at signing Brenden Dillon. Pre pandemic, I think he gets a longer deal then 2 years. How many teams have the cap space to pay him 4.5 million per for the next 2? LA gives an overpayment to entice him back to CA. He would then be a UFA again when the cap could be better.

Don't really have a need for Steen, but will take one year to get the extra 1st in 2022. Not sure that STL would pay that price.

The only Toronto players I'd be interested in are Nylander or Kapanen. Don't want any of the rest. Sign Clifford if you want, we'll take the upgraded pick.

Need to see more out of Austin Wagner, so I put his speed on the special teams. Time to step up or be bypassed by other prospects.

I don’t have Doughty or Kopitar killing penalties. As they age, these responsibilities need to be spread out. Let’s see how the young legs handle the PK.

I think Turcotte, Madden & Bjornfot will get their 9 games, possibly Thomas, Kupari (ACL rehab) and Hults as well. As much as I'd like to see Kaliyev make some noise, I think he's destined to go back to The O.

Before Covid, LA was finally putting it together. New coach (AGAIN) and a new system were finally starting to work. The integration of youth continues and team will still struggle to score.
