In what world the Islanders do that trade ?

in a world that has a salary cap

no way they add Bellows in that trade lol

Dadonov deal is brutal but I can see the logic behind it

i mean if hes still playing at Radulov/Pavelski level in 3 years, its pretty solid. And i dont see him signing for less unless you add more term

Yeah I get it. Still leary of signing Russian wingers since Kovy left is all

I'd rathe target Wilde than Bellows, the Devils have some depth at LW but RHD-man goes Subban, Severson, big gap, then Walsh, and Jacobs.

Gusev says hi

oh for sure if they do Wilde take it and run , even add a pick on your side. But idk if Isles wanna do that, i think once Dobson establishes himself as a top D, theyll bring up Wilde and trade Pulock for an elite winger

Lol from what I understand he's not a huge fan of Jersey either

I like the idea of right-shot LW and left-shot RW playing with Hughes and keep him out of traffic. But $7 million x 5-years is a lot for Dadonov.

maybe cuz its not broadway hahaha

That's exactly what it is and I don't blame them. I will say this though- I've lived in both NYC and Hoboken (a city right across the Hudson where a lot of the younger Devils players live), give me Hoboken every day of the week, better food and it's easier to navigate. Also, while the NJD arena is in Newark (dump), the practice arena is attached to the main one unlike the Rangers set up where you have to travel an hour to Tarrytown every day for practice. But yeah that's where the positives end lol

how far is Newark from Manhattan? i remember going but i dont remember how long it took

what do you suggest they add then

Loaded question. By train or car? It's only 15 miles but given the absurd traffic in the area at all hours of the day it could take you anywhere from 25 mins to 2 hours.

yeah haha true. i mean you can still live there and go to NY on the weekends.

2 years of Boychuk at 6 mill might require a 1st attached with it. Bellows isnt even worth a 1st, id suggest theyre getting off easy here

Do it all the time brother

oh i know that i was asking him

Boychuk+Wilde for Schneider. Cory's buyout is $3m cheaper in the first two years.

i dont think Isles consider that

It's going to be hard to move Boychuk.

id love if Ottawa can acquire Wilde. Ill take Ladd even lol. Hes a 6'3 offensive dman. Although he didnt have a good AHL season

Miles Wood good? Corsi looks bad
