Isles would pass IMO

I think the Pens make that trade.

I would pass, but I wouldn't put it past Lou/Trotz if they thought this year was the year

Agree. He has too much potential to deal rn. I would much rather wait and see what he does with more consistent ice time and a more offensive role. Even if that means his value goes down bc i really dont want to sell low on him. 1 year ago he was the projected 1st overall pick. Kid could be a stud.

To think the canucks could've had him at 41 what a shame. Stellar pick for the Isles!!

I kinda like the NSH trade. Upgrade the 5th to a 4th and it's a done deal

I want Ekholm, but Raty has become untouchable. Isles have barely any prospects, especially at forward. If we move anything to get a rental, it'll be draft picks and cap dumps.

I doubt Isles move him (yet). Always good to have a young guy on a cheap ELC who can take up a significant roster spot, particularly for a cap-heavy team like NYI.

And I’d take that for CBJ. Bemstrom and/or Foudy are unfortunately looking to be roster crunch casualties in the near future. Danforth is a wild card, but I don’t really see him moving beyond a B6 role.

Also, Bemstrom is really a winger. I wouldn’t have him playing C, and I wouldn’t have him on the fourth line.

Lou has too big of an ego to trade Raty
