<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Trading that much for JT Miller as a rental is an overpay; doubling down on that overpay by giving him a long-term extension that starts with his age-30 season might be doubling down on that. You've given up what could be the Islanders' two best prospects (assuming that whoever they pick at #13 is better than anyone else in the system other than Raty) and retained 2x$2.5M on Josh Bailey to do that - you're really putting the team in a short term position to maybe be a little better but they're going to have *nothing* in the cupboards to add at the deadline, or to replace the aging guys on a heavily over-30 team.

I can't see Palmieri getting a 1st in that deal - I think you need him to rebuild value this coming season because you're selling him as damaged goods after last season's struggles.

As long as Lou is the GM, I don't see him trading Cizikas. Rumors from last summer had Seattle offering him much more money in terms of AAV but he took the longer term deal to stay on the Island, and Lou doesn't strike me as the type of guy who isn't going to just renege on that one year later.

I might argue that bringing back Chara &amp; Greene in 22-23 would be just as disastrous as relying on Salo &amp; Aho as your LD2/3 this season - Salo probably can be sheltered as LD3 but Aho shouldn't be brought back as anything beyond a 7th D.</div></div>

this is just an idea to make the isles competitive again now. the window is closing quick and unless isles fans are okay wasting barzal, pulock, and pelech's prime and waiting at least another 3-5 years to get back to the playoffs, its short term small leaps of faith that need to be taken to win. a lot of times this strategy blows up in a teams face but I think JT and Forsberg still have a few great years of hockey in front of them that justifies these moves. you make a lot of good points though.
