-Awful trade for the Islanders. There's no one in the system to backfill a Pelech trade, first off (their LHD depth chart behind him is Romanov-Aho-Bolduc-Salo) so this is creating an enormous hole in the defense to address their scoring issues. Throwing in a perfectly good (if slightly overpaid) 3C in Pageau AND a 1st rounder is just really killing the current and future depth of the team for one player who will almost definitely put up worse numbers in New York when he's all of a sudden the #1 scoring threat on a team and not the second line winger playing against teams that are gameplanning for Matthews & Marner ahead of him.
-Dallas can't take this type of cap without sending cap back - they're basically dollar-in, dollar-out at this point of the offseason. Toronto would probably have to take back Radek Faksa's deal and retain some on Brodie's expiring contract for this type of deal to have any sort of shot of happening.
