Mayfield is a legend, can't trade him straight up for Vlad.

Why would the isles give that up for Tarasenko

first off i dont see the logic in trading nelson unless you're getting another c back. sure pageau can be a 2c but last I checked wahlstrom isn't a c and capfriendly just has him listed wrong. islanders fans please correct me. this would then move cizikas up to 3c, but then there's no one behind him, unless you're going to shift someone to c.

second, that's not close to good value for tarasenko. chances are that the blues could get a decent prospect for him, like a b+ or a- prospect.

Yeah plus Nelson is good for 25+ goals , this trade doesn’t make the isles better. The last time Wahlstrom played C was when he was 16. Cizikas wouldn’t move up to 3C, Trotz sees him as a 4C.

Absolutely ****ing abysmal trade for the Isles

Great for blues tho im not too happy about nelson

You get a 25-30G top-6 center and a fringe top-4 D on a great contract. For a dude with a laundry list of question marks. Trade is horrific lol
