Quoting: VancLOSERCaSUCKS
Lee's contract might be ok for the next year or two but it'd gonna go downhill from there. We've seen this before with so many players lol especially with his play style. A 27 game sample is so small to look at too.
Mayfield is a mediocre top 4 dman. If anything, he's a solid #5.
Gourde is and has been very good analytically and was the best player on Tampa's third line.
Palmieri is probably worth a late first (#24 or lower) or a 2nd + 3rd. If his stats this past season are any indication, it's not trending the right direction.
Pelech deal is the most even imo.
JGP is overrated. His production has not been anything spectacular with NYI and his defence is a bit above average.
Martin is trash
dude is just there because Lou likes him. You will probably need to add assets onto him in order to trade him.
Lmao what are you smoking.
Lees contracr isnt great but its not ****. As for a small sample size lets look at his numbers.
16-17 - 34 goals
17-18 - 40 goals
18-19 - 28 goals
19-20 - on pace for 24 goals with a s% way under his normal s%.
20-21 - on pace for 36 goals.
Hes a consistent 30 goal scorer. Thats just the reality of it.
Mayfield is a solid #4 who is on a bargain contract. It will cost at least a 2nd to acquire him.
I am not denying gourde is good. A 2nd + a 3rd doesnt get a late 1st. Youre asking for a 1st plus 3 2nds for gourde. Thats a massive overpay. As for palmieri, he had the worst s% of his career last year and usually shoots around 180% of what he shot last year. You saw it with lee this year and youll se it with palmieri next year that when guys shoot way under their normal s% they regress to the mean. If his s% wouldve been the average that it usually is he wouldve scored on pace for 29 goals last year over a full season.
Pelech is a number 1 dman signed to a great deal. Perfetti is a very good prospect but at best we have similar talent to what we have just not at that great contract. At worst perfetti doesnt work out considering hes still a prospect and hasnt proved anything in the nhl.
JGP. Defense "a bit above average" 😂😂😂. He shuts down the top players in the league. He got traded for a 1st and a 2nd and has only gotten better. Saying he hasnt produced is just ignorant or delusional. For his time in nyi hes been on pace for 21+ goals a season. Combined with elite defensive play and great at faceoffs. And dont forget those 21+goals are under barry trotz. He plays 5v5 pp and pk and has only gotten better since coming to nyi. You either dont care about the stats or just dont know them but either way youre completely wrong.
Martin. Its a negligible deal. I disagree with your assesment but its a deal that doesnt really impact anything. Also id rather trust that lou knows what hes doing than you.
Conclusion: youre way off base and obviously dont know sh*t about the islanders. Id keep my comments and arguments to things i actually know about if i were you.
