I wish

I can’t be the only one who thinks that’s an absolute ransom for Garland

a kid can dream. I think the trade and contract is fine. But they would never make this many moves in an offseason, cause they gotta "keep the group together"

I didnt wanna undersell it and get ripped apart. i based it off what the offersheet would be 1st 2nd and 3rd. changed the 3rd to a second and added a prospect.

That’s definitely fair logic. I just guess I don’t love the player tbh

Garland is a legitimate 1st line winger and a much better player than Palmieri. I’m praying this happens, apparently isles showed interest in Garland during the season.

I'd accept the Leddy trade. I think a 5th rd pick is worth a single season of Leddy.

I think they could maybe get a 4th or even a 3rd from a contender but im not interested in getting rid of an argument of what his worth is. He can still play top 4 minutes but NYI has other needs.

Idk what you think of beauvillier but i'd probably rather have garland than beau

he'd fit in perfect with them. if they can free up the money they should absolutely go get him.

yeah he’s pretty much a poor mans Marchand

I think Beau has bought himself a career on Long Island with that goal he scored game 6. That’s a forever islander moment

Garland is better than Beauvillier but not by much. They have a lot of similar attributes - both elite forecheckers, great skaters, good on the cycle.

Agreed, he might get more from a contending team, but most contending teams can't afford his cap hit without sending cap back. That's why Detroit gets him for dirt cheap. He's still really good I think and he would probably fetch a half decent return at the deadline with salary retained.

i agree look at Staal last season he averaged over 18min a game. He also played in every game not bad for a 34yr old defenseman.
