Sujet: Puck moving D
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>It depends on how many teams are interested in Dunn. He provided top pairing value in 2 of the last 3 seasons - the isles tanked bellows value by playing guys like komarov over him and burying him for long stretches . Bolduc is a decent prospect but he is extremely overrated by isles fans. I watched a lot of his games this season and he has solid physical tools, but he doesnt think the game at a high level and he’s not a good puck mover/ creative with the puck. It looks like he’ll be a 3rd pairing defensive defenseman in the NHL.

<strong>It was reported komarov agreed to go back to the KHL if the isles buy him out.

Salo was dominant in one of the best professional leagues in the world and he turns 23 in October. Many scouts believe he was NHL ready last season - and he can alternate with Ben Hutton to start. Golyshev is already 26 and will likely sign a 1 way deal this summer, apparently he was looking for a house on LI - if he isn’t given a fair shot he’ll probably go back to Russia. He probably doesn’t want to play in the AHL, just like sorokin.

Ross johnston would look out of place in the ECHL. Did you see the players that went unclaimed on waivers this past season? No one would claim Ross , isles would have to give a pick to get rid of him.

Derek Ryan had a great season - he’s one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL and he is one of the best forecheckers. He’s a lot better than Trevor Lewis

Where was this reported? And why do the Isles care if he goes back to the KHL - why would that be an incentive for the team?

You also realize Bolduc was playing as 21 year old a season after he got drafted and is learning the pro game.

I doubt Ryan gets that much next season - good job backing it up with the analytics.

Golyshev should be in the AHL to start the season - he might be a diamond in the rough, but he can also flame out like Petrov.

Why would the team need to add a pick to trade Ross? That doesn't make any sense. I am a Ross fan and teams still need enforcers and ones that can keep up with the game.

I like Salo a lot - just a bit risky to give him a starting spot right from camp.

Blues cannot protect Dunn and have no leverage before the expansion draft. Trading Bolduc is not a good move.
If you want a strong puck-moving d man - I know Trotz and Lou liked Alex Goligoski in the past. He is certainly getting on in years, but he would cost only money - certainly south of 3m and only for a year before Salo and Bolduc are ready to take over. Plus, you get to keep Bellows, the 2nd, and Bolduc.

Confused as to why you are buying out Komarov (1.66 cap hit) instead of burying him; the buyout only saves the team 200 K and then tacks on another .660K next season to the cap. This is poor cap mgmt. Might make more sense to just bury him and find a cheaper alternative at the 4C than overpaying for Derek Ryan @ 1.75! ... Ryan is lucky he'll get a 1m on the open market - he's in Nate Thompson and Trevor Lewis territory. Ryan was brutal this year for Calgary.

Salo and Golyshev being handed starting roles is also something I strongly disagree with - might make more sense to have them in the AHL since they are waiver exempt to at least get used to the North American style and rink and they provide depth and cover when injury happens.

Don't think the team needs to attach Aho for Seattle to take Leddy. I think they take him - if they don't so be it.

And did you waive Ross the Boss? Oof that's a bad move, especially when he'd get claimed by the Rangers and then haunts our dreams. You never waive your goon - the lessons of Karl Racki!

Sujet: Isles Locking UP RFAs
None of these guys are significantly better than Greene.
Koekkek and Hutton suck, you know that right?
Merrill is NOT significantly better - I wouldn't even characterize him as a better D-man than Greene.

You can make a case for Kulikov, but he'll get over a million.
And Forbert is getting paid this offseason - No way he goes for under a million.

I don't have an infatuation with 40-year-old Dmen -
Greene has been a warrior this year and has done a lot for Dobson's development.
Having watched a lot of islander hockey this year - I am definitely OK with Greene anchoring the bottom pair and mentoring someone like Bolduc.

These rosters are designed to take a deeper look into different offseason scenarios.
The scenario I was laying out was - how do we retain Palmieri and stay under the cap, but overcome the loss of Leddy.
Chara is someone who is better than any of the guys you suggested and would sign at a league minimum - albeit with bonuses that would be tacked onto the following season.
