They need Wood/Palmieri and Hall IMO. Lee is a big hole in the lineup that one player on the market isn’t going to fix and this is coming from a Caps fan who doesn’t particularly like alee the player.
I can see him definitely being a target. Islanders have some cap space now but this is a pure rental unlike last season where they had every intention of signing Pageau once they traded for him.
Without getting into the nitty-gritty details... would an expanded deal involving Ladd and a 1st instead of a second work?
Also wouldn't mind taking back another depth d-man contract to put on the taxi squad. I feel there are many possible scenarios involving the Wings.
But what I would hope to accomplish is have the Isles pay a slightly higher premium for a fill-in, while moving some cap.
I don't know that they would first of all. I think it would be because Guerin realizes that as well as they are doing, MN is not a Cup contender this year. They are likely going to have to beat Vegas and CO just to get out of their division...I can see one, but not both. Better to take what we can from an expiring contract and live to fight another day.
Ouch, massive blow to the Isles. Does Lou still go for it this year without Lee ?
Tatar and a 2021 2nd for a 2022 1st .
If you are one player away from going for it, you go for it.Ouch, massive blow to the Isles. Does Lou still go for it this year without Lee ?
Huh?The fan in me wants to see him with Torts, I think a few seasons in long island would push him into an incredible player.
Palmieri has underachieved this year. Normally he is one of the best players in the team. It's always frustrating when your best scorer doesn't score.From lurking on the Devils boards, I'm not really a Palmieri fan. They sure seem to hate him there.
