That’s probably fair value but I know Lou wants to keep Varly. These teams do line up rather well though.

It makes sense for NY because it takes the pressure off of Lou to dump bailey or trade beau for scraps. At the end of the day you do what you have to do if it lets you avoid trading picks to dump productive players.

It's a very reasonable and also very realistic trade. One small matter for me: if I were the Islanders' GM, I'd specify the 2023 third-rounder as being the earlier of the two Las Vegas owns.

If Hague was willing to sign for that little, he would have done so by now, whitecloud just signed an extension for 2.75 this year, probably the number he is demanding.

This roster doesn't address the 39 goals and 41 assists missing from last season in Patches and Dadonov.while the Pacific is weak and Vegas can probably get to the post season on this roster, it looks like a first round exit team.

I don't see Islanders wanting Brossoit back the other way, based on the question mark of his health, and how poorly they played last season, I think they would rather call San Jose and get their backup from there.

The new Vegas motto: 'he could bounce back'
