Leddy would have to be involved for it to work

I mean if we trade him for Ladd+ not much else I'm into it. But agreed, we don't need Yandle.

I love how Lou + trotz always talk about young players not being in the lineup because “they don’t play the right way” and then they try to trade for a defenseman who has no clue what to do in his own end. Hey if you’re over 30 come to the isles, we’ll work with you!

The stupidest thing about this:
Per new cba yandles NMC would travel with him aka mandatory expansion protection aka adios mayfield or our first to protect everyone

Another reason why there's no chance a Yandle to NYI deal works

That's another good point and honestly, I think I'd rather have Leddy.

See, I trust Lou enough were if he wanted to sign Yandle to a one year deal for a low cap hit, I'd trust him. Sure, the guy has warts, but we are kiiinda desperate to fix our power play (granted I think the solution is letting Wahlstrom play, but that's neither here nor there), so a small risk would be understandable. I wasn't happy with the Andy Greene trade, but I was happy to eat my words on it.

But trading for him at THAT cap hit? That'd be even harder to move than Ladd. Hell no. It'd be an awful trade, I'm glad we passed on it.
