Yeah I can't see the islanders doing that.

Unless Ladd goes on LTIR himself all they're doing is trading worthless cap space for someone who can meaningfully contribute. I think it kind of works

Unless they think henrique has lost a couple steps. If hes not the 40pt player anymore then you add cap dollars longer and lose bellows and a 2nd. I haven't watched much Anaheim this year idk. He did just get waived.

I actually really like this idea. Lou would have no problem betting on Henrique and he can still contribute plenty (obviously Ladd can’t). Bellows needs a fresh start. And then it also allows the isles to free up space in the expansion draft thru a different contract (my money is on the Isles figuring out a way to get Eberle to Seattle).
