Honestly, the Isles have enough cap space to go through the season with Leo, especially if Johnston actually gets claimed on waivers, as has been speculated.

If you want Leo, I don't think its worth it to the Islanders to throw in a pick at this point

Bad luck. I wanted to have their 1st line forward and get a pick for that(

Pretty solid deal for ARI. Rask could definitely add some "depth" after dealing Dvorak whereas Roussel is just a straight body.

If it opens up more space to be used at the deadline I'd still do this though. Not entirely sure how the LTIR math would work as you want to be as close as you can to the 81.5m before putting Boychuk on it though. Leo would be useful to Golyshev in the AHL that's about his only real plus at this point

The Foligno, Hartman, Fiala line is interesting. They've never tried that, but I bet it would be a dangerous line.
