You're getting Bellows. A first round pick in 2016 who still has a lot of upside.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Tbh if they have to move bailey I’d like to keep bellows but there is a price to doing business. Again I don’t know if Bellows or Bailey get moved tho. There is a decent chance it ends up being Beau and Varly tbh.</div></div>

Beau trade would really suck - partially because i want to extend the window and don’t want a rebuild in 3 years. I realize we’re in win-now mode, at least that’s how Lou feels and we have a roster that says as much in terms of age. But Beau has the speed isles desperately need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Maybe Kadri signs the same deal Lou signed him to 6 years ago lmao</div></div>

Ha. You know i don’t want 6 years either. 4x$7m is totally ideal. And rumor is COL only offered Kadri a 1 year deal. But again, I’m just going with what i think Lou did. Not necessarily what i want.

I wonder what the COL 1 year offer was. Kadri could easily get 80+ points again w them and another cup, and then take the pay day next summer if teams have better cap situation. But perhaps Lou gave him close to what he wanted…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I’m higher on Bellows than most isles fans cause I think he’s that guy who can play a supporting role on a good 3rd line. Like I wouldn’t be shocked if he could play higher or lower in the lineup, but I think he’s one of those guys who will probably be best as a checking line wing who can score.</div></div>

Agreed. Bellows could easily figure it out and has shown some really impressive flashes at times. He can score in the NHL, which isn’t so easy. Maybe with a confidence boost from a passionate coach like lambert he gets more production. But unfortunately, i don’t see him really getting the playing time here on the island to break out with the isles. He’ll be of value elsewhere.

Stefen Rosner just coincidentally released an article suggesting a trade of bellows and Bailey as well, but to Ottawa. That makes a lot of sense too. I would just feel really bad shipping Bailey to Arizona…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I’m not thrilled about the Kadri signing. I’m fine with moving bailey if we clear space for someone like Meier.</div></div>

Could Lou pull off shipping out two guys? Ie; pageau and Bailey, and bringing in Kadri AND Meier?

It would require moving a guy like Brock next summer but you have raty coming in.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I wouldn’t move Pageau tbh</div></div>

The way i see it ; if Bailey is moved for even just future considerations, and Kadri is signed for 4 years or less at $7m or less, it’s a noticeable upgrade. I know that’s not necessarily fair to Bailey, but that’s the truth. And fyi i was never on the Bailey sucks train. Not happy with his performance this past season but everyone underperformed. Also I’m fully convinced Lou has given Kadri 6x$7m++

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I get what ur saying. It does seem like Kurz believes Bailey has more value than most of us do.</div></div>

Well arizona fans see it as: theyre not in “win now” mode for many years. So for them to take any player on that’s above the age of 29, from their perspective, is purely cap dump… they want to be compensated as such.

Anaheim makes more sense to me since some people are giving them dark horse potential.

Seeing a few winnipeg proposals tonight for Bailey or Pageau.

Sujet: Soooo we got Kadri

This could very well be the roster. I was going to make an identical one tonight but then made a more unique one with isles trading Bailey for shayne Gostisbehere (50% retained). But i think milano and Kadri is very likely…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Isles don’t need Gostisbehere and ur overpaying to dump bailey.</div></div>

See last two user comments. My take; when you feel you’re overpaying, and the opposing fans think you’re under paying, you’re probably close to a fair deal…

Why would you want to piss of Brock who scored 38 goals at center last year??? Why would you piss off your face of the franchise player in Brazal?

FYI - Adrian Dater, COL's main writer, found today's source to be credible enough to write that it's probably a done deal, too...

So what if it's Pageau being shipped out? I have to do the research but I did read somewhere that Pageau/Nelson/Barzal shared very similar minutes on ice last season. So if Brock moves to 3C is it so bad? He may face weaker competition and dominate even more.

(They wouldn't even have the cap space to add someone at the deadline anyways, pending every one being healthy)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>Miller is not a fit for us. Not getting older and paying a 30 yr old 8M+ a year for 6-7 years.

We have dealt 3 of the last 4 1st rounders and what do we have to show for it??? STOP!</div></div>

The Miller ship has sailed, as today was extremely convincing that Kadri is an Islander. The remaining questions are simply this:
-Who is being shipped out?
-Who is moving to wing?
-Can the Isles squeeze in one more d-man?

If Isles trade Bailey for SG (50% retained) then I really believe they don't have to make any moves at the deadline and can ride this roster to the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>That part might be true. But if they need to move Bailey’s salary I think it should be part of a deal for a star winger.</div></div>

Well sure, that should have been the move. But it seems that Kadri is a done deal. You can't fit Kadri AND a star winger unless that winger is on an entry level contract, or you move out Bailey and another player...

Let's also recognize what the 27 year old Oliver Bjorkstrand trade returned for CBJ... It's a tough market out there and someone has to be shipped out to fit in Kadri. At least in my trade scenario, Arizona is retaining 50% salary, and the isles get a player I believe they need. I also do believe Kadri over Bailey is a noticeable upgrade. So YES, you kill several birds with one stone by doing the bailey for SG trade - cap space, defensive offenseman. It works.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>My assumptions are based on facts. It seems like yours r just based on how u feel about bailey and how you feel about the roster. All I’m trying to do is point out that ur not addressing the isles needs. If you are just trying to predict what Lou does that’s also ok. But let’s be honest here. Lou isn’t gonna cap dump bailey. He doesn’t usually trade picks to move players who can still produce.</div></div>

But that's you assuming that Shayne G doesn't bring something of value back for the isles. If Shayne puts up 50 points again he's going to fetch at least a 2nd at the deadline if not more. This trade is essentially a hockey trade. And if anything it's harder for a player to put up points when they're on such a terrible team (see: Taylor Hall on Buffalo).
