According to who?

Not an Isles fan but if a trade does happen I could see the main peices going either way is Tarasenko and Mayfield

Jeremy Rutherford at The Athletic. I smell bs though. Makes zero sense for Isles. And the fact that Mayfield is from St. Louis makes it smell even more bs.

No. And Rutherford is the most delusional writer I've seen in a while. You're a lot better off disregarding (or just not reading at all) anything the guy says.

Don’t think i would take his word for it.

That guy bull****s everyone

In fairness, most American hockey writers are the same way.

Yep, you got to listen to the Canadian ones

I just don't see the Islanders trading Scott, and why would they? He's paid pennies for what he brings to the table.

Only outside chance I could see, is if a top 4 LHD is coming back to balance the Isles defense. That player would have to have some term and be under 28.

Also, Scott is from St Louis but he and his family have relocated to Colorado.

Nope. Isles already have to fill one top-4D spot. They are not creating another hole to get Tarasenko. Bailey would have to go either to STL or in a subsequent move for a LD

Maybe as part of a package for Tarasenko. Otherwise, I’d rather just hold onto him

IDK if you watch Baseball but no one even comes close to the level Bob Nightingale is on If he says a team is interested or a trade has happened ingore it he has no been right once in a calendar year
Look at his twitter its hilarious
Also i dont doubt STL has intrest in Mayfield but i agree the isles wouldnt do it unless they really believed in dobson and even then it doesnt really make sense for them

Nah you guys have the cap even without moving bailey

Not to round out a team. Besides, where would Parise and Wahlstrom play? You'd have 10 forwards for the top 9.

Walhstrom is 3rd line and wdym parise he isnt signed for the isles but if he does is see him as a hole filler

I am a casual baseball fan (the season and the games are just too long) and I've never heard of him, but if he's worse than Rutherford whoever he writes for is f*cked.

Fair i love baseball but i see your point anyway hes said stuff like Nolan Arenado and kris byrant to the mets and is just wrong. He makes stuff up or gets it completely wrong just trying to be first
I only follow him for the laughs but yea hes an idiot

How about my Yankees tho?

i think hes confirmed a Betts trade and schezer trade there but could also be the mets this was like 2-3 years ago so i dont exactly remember

as a mets fan, so true. bob is the WORST. dude got tricked by a fake jeff passan account this TDL (i think bryant to the yankees was the fake trade?). everything he tweets, assume the opposite lmao

Yes it was bryant to the yanks my bad

he aslo `confirmed bauer to the mets before bauer even signed a contract

He is 100% an Islander that has not been announced yet. Gotta read between the lines. He's still unsigned, was/has been linked to us for years as he's Lou's guy, and at Da Beauty League he was interviewed and said he's so excited for next year. It's gonna happen. Which is why if we got Tarasenko a Top-9F with a contract/term is going to have to go.
