Sujet: If we are missing the playoffs and none of our pending UFAs want extensions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>You say "every aspect of my logic is flawed".

But yet, you seem to agree with some of those aspects.



You:

"The Islanders weren't targeting Raty, they weren't looking specifically to get him. They took the best player available at 52."



Me:

"If the Islanders really wanted Raty, they wouldn't have allowed over 50 draft picks to pass by.

They would have traded up to get him or traded an asset to get him at an earlier pick.

Instead, they just went with Best Player Available at 52."


Pot, meet kettle :)





At the 2020 trade deadline, Lou Lamoriello overvalued Pageau, Greene and the Islanders' desperation for those two players which are largely a dime a dozen.

Pageau and Greene were not someone the islanders needed until Lamoriello said so.



There is a possibility Raty could be what the player scouts thought he'd be 5 days ago at the draft.

There is a possibility he could never play a game in the NHL.

Both possibilities make him tradable.</div></div>

Dude, you are just not smart. You make 0 sense. And Pageau deal was perfectly valued.

Also, Bailey would be a different player on any other team. His exceptional chemistry with Beauvillier and Nelson certainly elevates his play, his time served with the team is huge for his effect in the locker room and his leadership. He benefits from the Islanders style of play as well. Although I believe Bailey is more important to the team than Eberle, I think that unless a defensive playmaker and PK/PPer is needed, the better offensive player and better PPer is Eberle. Eberle can be on the first line, shown by him being on the Islanders first line, which was one of the best first lines when he was with Lee, Barzal earlier in the season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mintyfresh</b></div><div>Bad word choices there so don't get hung up on the words I chose. The reason the deal was expensive was because Giordano is being retained at almost 50%, they are also taking Komarov, and some cap space was made available. the Islanders are essentially guaranteed to lose Bailey or Eberle regardless. Its a heavy price, but you get a veteran defenseman at half price, and open up more cap to chase a big name like Landeskog who is better than Bailey of course, which was what my thinking was to the big price tag there.

I read rumors a deal was formed that would send Komarov to Seattle as well and I'd assume for Seattle to take Eberle or Bailey and add Komarov in there would need to be something going the other way to make that happen. But then it hit me a vet like Giordano wants to ensure he goes to a winning team, and with retention they felt like a nice match.</div></div>

Switch Bailey and Eberle and I’d say it’s a deal. If there’s going to be a deal with Seattle, there’s going to be the basis that Eberle is chosen over Bailey. Bailey is more valuable to the team and more easily replaceable in FA.
