Équipe: 2020-21 Islanders de New York

Date de création initiale: 28 oct. 2020

Publié: 29 oct. 2020

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Trades explained:
1) Minnesota: I feel like this would be a fair trade. Minnesota takes on half of Parise's contract while absorbing all of Leddy's since the term is much less than that of Parise.

2) Ottawa: I'm sure that whoever takes on Boychuk would have to get a 2nd or 3rd round pick with him to take his contract. If we include Bailey, it would eliminate the extra pick being included and we could take a chance at recouping at least the likes of a 4th round pick. If it has to be a worse pick, so be it. I even pushed it off til 2022, where Ottawa should be in a better situation.

3) Tampa: Taking a shot here but right now the Lightning are in cap trouble having slots to fill and still having to sign Cirelli as well. Maybe we can take advantage here. As far as the picks, two 2nd round picks should do it, combining that with a roster player in Aho of minimal salary.

The team is incredibly balanced in styles of play, great mix of lefties/righties and still a considerable amount of space left on the cap to ensure we can sign our FAs at the end of the season.

Signings:
Kovalchuk: Powerplay help, plain and simple. The guy can still shoot, especially in open space. Low risk, high reward.

Martin: More appropriate salary and good term for both sides.

Greene: Nice and simple, low salary for veteran help for the season.

Sergachev/Barzal: Short term (3 years each) for nice bridge deals.
