I would accept that offer as the Los Angeles GM.

See Bailey to the Hawks often. I think its a trade that makes a ton of sense for both teams. Bailey is still a talented player, just overpaid. Hawks could use some NHL talent, while also taking on salary to hit the floor and getting a draft pick. Islanders need to make moves and changes, this allows that. Plus, its a 2025 pick which lessens the blow for them in theory. Dont hate the other trades, all somewhat reasonable.

Hall is a bad fit for the isles since he doesn’t have great foot speed imo. I’d rather just keep Pageau.

Hall isn't a good fit and no way the isles separate Horvat and Brazal. They will play on the same line which creates a hold for the 3rd line center. Pageau has to stay.

Same.

Thirded.

However to be fair to OP, I think the Kings need to send a 3rd or something back in that offer to make it truly similar to the Romanov trade. Plus I'm not sure Durzi has QUITE the same value that Romanov had.

Granted, the Islanders aren't picking at 13 in this draft, so there's some value lost in that 1st rounder. But I would love for LA to get back into this year's 1st round.

i'll take that

Hall is a great skater , you must be thinking about someone else

Hall is elite in transition and a very solid two way player. Isles need more puck carriers.

Horvat trade is proving to be a bad trade because Barzal is better suited for the center position. He needs the puck on his stick in the middle of the ice

Hall is one of the better skaters in the NHL. His speed is an asset that allows him to blow past defenders.

Hall doesn't have great foot speed? What?

Before his injury yeah

He’s still an elite skater. He was one of bostons best forwards in the Florida series

I’ve never thought of him that way since his injury, but IK he was the best third line left Wing in the league lol.

So then you didn't watch him play at all after his injury. He's not a 3rd liner. Calling him a third liner because they were he played on a deep Boston team is like calling Pastrnak a 2nd liner because that's where he played for Boston.

I was joking when I said he was the best third line wing in the league. He doesn’t really stand out to me for his skating in Boston tho tbh.
