<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Honestly I think Wahlstrom is super overrated. I saw a tonne of Isles fans say they wouldn't trade him straight up for Laine last summer.

Besides being a first round pick in the last couple years he seems to me to be more of a B+ prospect to A- prospect.

His NCAA performance was fine but not great for a teenager.

His AHL performance has also been fine.

His NHL performance showed someone trying with a lot of tools but no offensive production yet.

He has looked good but not exceptional at WJC.

I just think he's overhyped.

Pulock ironically is the opposite. He's quietly a top two defenseman. A solid top pairing but not an actual #1 defenseman as typically talked about.

Not really commenting on the trade more the players themselves.</div></div>

Your take on Wahlstrom and Pulock are quite fair. Watching both Wahlstrom and Bellows I have been more impressed with Bellows and his ability to shoot and play on the boards.

Pulock is the Isles 2nd most important player behind Barzal, guy is logging more and more minutes plays great d and his offense keeps improving. He is not getting moved at all.

Sujet: Can they sign everyone without trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>I highly doubt it. A few things would need to happen.

- Barzal takes a very friendly bridge deal.
- Pulock takes less than market value.
- Ladd gets sent to Robidas Island
- Varlamov gets bought out (his buyout is very friendly but not likely)



I think we can keep Bailey, but everyone else agreed. I like your lineup, but I don't want Johnston playing every day. Leddy for Connolly is interesting. I wonder if the Panthers would give up on him just one year into a four-year deal.</div></div>

I do not want to keep Bailey. He needs to go.

Boychuck is more likely to go on Robidas Island than Ladd. He cannot fully open his eye right now so it is unknown if he has any vision loss, and for a guy that slow to also not be able to see his career would be over. Ladd has showed he can still wants to play, you cannot Robidas Island him. And it is sad that aside from his awful shootout attempt he was better last night than half the forwards.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I'd be surprised to see Pulock sign for $5 x 5...

Also, as <a href="/users/JayTea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@JayTea</a> said, there's just about a 0% chance the cap jumps to $88.2. Even with the NHLPA approving (Doubt it), the whole Corona virus thing is going to have some owners pooping their pants.

I was thinking about it last night though, and I had originally though "Meh, trade Leddy", but it might honestly be worth it to trade Pulock's RFA rights...the haul that the Isles get back from him *should* be outstanding. You've still got Boychuk for a couple seasons, and while Dobson might not be 100% ready to step into a top 4 role, he'd have enough support with any of Leddy, Pelech or Toews, that they should mitigate most issues that might arise.</div></div>

Trading Pulock would be the biggest mistake the Isles made since trading Chara.

Sujet: Try scoring a goal
Trotz's biggest issue (and this goes back to his Washington days) was playing young kids. It is clear Bellows offers more than Dal Colle and should immediately replace him. Trotz would definitely not play 3 (lineup includes Koivula also) rookies so Wahlstrom stays in AHL for now.

Trotz recognized last game that Leo cannot play center, he should go back to a scratch.

Martin no longer offers a physical factor beyond some hits, Johnston should play over him. Against the bruins the isles were physically dominated with no push back, Johnston is needed in the lineup.

Moving forward

Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beau- Nelson- Brassard (would love Wahlstrom over Brassard)
Bellows- Pageau- Bailey
Johnston-Koivula-Clutterbuck

Next year:

Bellows-Barzal-Eberle (Bellows forechecks hard and is the shot Barzal needs on his line)
Lee-Nelson-Bailey (Veteran line that plays well together)
Beau-Pageau-Wahlstrom (Beau and Pageau plays fast and hard, they could show Wahlstrom how to play)
Johnston/ Koivula- Czizkas-Clutterbuck (Physical, strong defensively and fast)

Extras: Leo/ Ladd

Gone: Dal Colle, Martin, Kuhnacal,
