<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Maybe you should watch how Trotz actually handles young players instead of basing everything off of praise during a training camp interview. Sure , Bolduc will be “in the mix” but he’s nowhere close to NHL ready and If you watched any of his games in Bridgeport it’s easy to see. A 20 year old defenseman that can’t yet handle the pace of the AHL is not going to be on the 3rd pairing next season for the isles.</div></div>

Good, we agreed he is in the mix. Everything else you said is you just arguing with yourself (never said he was better than Salo, nor did I say he didn't struggle at times in the AHL this season).

I personally think he is further along than you do (I do watch Bridgeport games)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Andrew Ladd turned 31 in December in his first year with the isles. The year before there were already signs he was going to fall off a cliff sooner than later. Same thing with Palmieri. Palmieri’s offense and defense both declined this season and you can’t blame it on the devils because the players he spent the most time on the ice with were very good players.

Palmieri’s comparables are Ladd, lucic, Erickson , James Neal, when they signed their contracts. When was the last time signing a 30+ forward to a 4+ year deal worked out 😂</div></div>

Again, there is no comparison.

A 7 year contract and 38.5 million for a 31 year old right when the season starts is not comparable to a 4-year contract for someone who is 6 months younger at half the price.....PERIOD. Even the other ones don't really compare. The closest (Neal) even signed for 5 years and some 10 million more than I suggested and he too was turning 31 before the season even started. FAIL

No matter how many times you try and compare the two

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>“Just about every metric” can you tell me which metric ? Lol especially palmieri</div></div>

How about just per 82 the last 3 seasons:

AB: 41 goals and 44 assists, 85 points in 196 games= <strong><em>17 goals/ 18 assists/ 35 points per 82
</em></strong>
Lee: 60 goals and 53 assists, 113 points in 177 games= <strong><em>28 goals/ 25 assists/ 53 points per 82
</em></strong>
Palms: 62 goals and 54 assists, 116 points in 190 games= <strong><em>27 goals/ 23 assists/ 50 points per 82</em></strong>

Eberle: 51 goals and 59 assists, 110 points in 191 games= <strong><em>22 goals/ 25 assists/ 47 points per 82</em></strong>

Bailey: 38 goals and 96 assists; 134 points in 204 games= <strong><em>15 goals/ 39 assists/ 54 points per 82</em></strong>

Hell, it would be a tough argument to even say AB was your 4th best winger.....yet; but definitely not better than Lee or Palms

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Bailey, Martin contracts expire in 3 years. This ACGM has
Beauvillier and sorokin due for new contracts in 2 years. They can sign with any team at the point, the isles have leverage right now as they are both RFAs, it would be nice if they can get younger players locked up long term instead of signing Kyle palmieri, who is the next Andrew Ladd.

Im not overreacting, I’m saying this team should prioritize signing younger players instead of old declining players. 6 years for cizikas and 4 years for palmieri. Yikes.</div></div>

Read slower dude. "Expring contract means there is one year left.

And I would bet a million dollars both Beauvillier and Sorokin take bridge deals. I doubt the Islanders commit long term to either of them.

No, Trotz was adamant that Samuel almost played himself onto the roster. I too like Salo's long term potential better, but almost every Islander insider says that Bolduc is closer to being NHL ready, despite the age difference

Sujet: CBOs and bridge deals coming
Hickey, although not flashy...would certainly work for a team that is rebuilding its defense and needs a veteran blue liner, especially if he is all the way back healthy; his contract is not bad although don't expect much in return. I too don't see two CBO's given to each team unless the payroll drops in the 75-77 million range. One is almost a certainty though at this point. Best case would be one CBO and a 80M payroll. If CHS gets traded I see only the Blues possibly offering a late rounder for him, assuming the look they got was enough to roll the dice with and keep other teams from chasing him.....

Barzal at 3/24 and Towes at 3/9 are safe bets, nothing wrong with that. Also nothing wrong with locking Pulock up at 6/36. If the Islanders want any type of flexibility they have to part with Bailey or Leddy and the later would in fact be easier to move.....
