I do LOVE Perfetti but Idk if I do this

CBJ wouldn't even pick up the phone for that.
Kent is off limits.
So is that 1st which is probably a top 10 pick.

You are absolutely high if you think CBJ would do that.

Think it depends on how the Islanders view Pulock and his contract fitting into a realistic contending window, may be better to capitalize on his current value rather than dumping him later in the contract for scraps

Meh figured it was probably a bit of an overpay especially if you're high on Kent, but I looked at it as Extended Ehlers and 2nd worth a 1st and Ceulemans, retained Pionk for the 3rd and Mcgroarty and Johnson pretty even swap

And I really hope for your sake in 2 years the Jackets aren't still a top 10 pick

I hope they are. I hope they're still adding top 5 picks and maybe a lottery win around that time. They need one more really high end player to go with Fantilli.

And that's fair, just seemed like that wasn't the route the team was looking to go but I did forget there is new management in town

It seems like Wadell is looking at 26-27 as when the team should start pressing. Two more years of really quality picks would be very valuable.

Nice I think that's the right direction for the team tbh, and 26 and 27 drafts both have likely generational talent and both seem deep

I… am not opposed but I’d quibble on the edges. KJ is the most valuable part of that trade, but to get an extended Ehlers and McGroarty both would be excellent, and with Ehlers KJ is pretty superfluous. On the other hand, you want to keep all the Michigan boys together.

If Columbus is taking Pionk, though, you have to take an NHL RHD back. Boqvist is the obvious choice. Otherwise there’s no room for Pionk on the roster at all. Nor is the retention required.

Isles decline. They wouldn’t be able to afford Iafallo’s contract and replace pulock (don’t need a bottom 6 fwd either, regardless of cap hit). Make it a 3 teamer to send Iafallo elsewhere and isles accept
