Nelson right now is miles better than Zacha. Islanders might consider this because Zacha is younger and they are not really close to contention. 1 goal in 25 playoff games is not a small sample size at this point, and Zacha's regular-season point totals are overinflated from playing with Pastrnak. If we expect Pastrnak to actually produce in the playoffs you have to give him a linemate capable of scoring, Nelson is a better offensive center than Lindholm and probably the best available center offensively this summer. At the end of the year you can decide to pay Nelson or put his money toward other available centers. Zacha scored 21 goals on a line with Pastrnak, Nelson scored 34 on a line with washed Anders Lee and Palmieri. That is not a small upgrade by any means.
Dillon maybe a bit overpaid sure and I'd rather give him 2.75-3 million, but would pay this as he is a legitimate second pair d-man who kills penalties and would put the Bruins in a much better position to contain opponents top scorers--the defense was awful in the playoffs and consistently bailed out by Swayman, they NEED a steadying presence like Dillon. I'd bet you the Bruins don't sign Dillon, but I'd also bet someone gives him 2-3 years at 4.5+.
