As a Kings fan, hell yeah. Which means Bruins would probably say no

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Seems very well thought out

 

[miscs75]

The Islanders need forwards, not goalies or defensemen. There’s 9 defenders on the roster right now, 6 of them are signed for next season as well. Toss in the 2 goalies with another 3 more seasons as a tandem.

I’ve got an idea for a trade. There’s gonna be two teams in it and some players

I mean honestly better than a lot of the stuff that actually gets posted

 

[SI90]

I'm having trouble following. Youre not sending Englund and Rittich to NYI correct?

For Pageau I’d give him up for a 2nd round pick.

Also, why is BOS trading Ullmark?

No, Englund and Riitch are going to Boston, Ullmark to LA, and Pageau to Boston. I was thinking maybe Turcotte as the add from LA that would go to NYI for Pageau, and maybe a throw in here and there.

Ullmark traded because we have Swayman and we need help in the lineup, we’re starting to wilt.

 

[CDN24]

Don't see why Boston does this, they downgrade from Ulmark to Rittich and get a dime a dozen D-man in Englund and Pageau who is about to become a bad contract.

The 2 attractive pieces here are Turcotte (potential) and Ulmark. Boston gives up 1 and does not get the other. Maybe Boston fans feel otherwise but this does not work for them IMO

 

[FSL KINGS]

Wouldn't trade Turcotte for a goalie. You can have JAD though.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Seems like this could be a straight LA - Boston trade with no need for a 3rd team. Rittich has been good for LA with the coaching changes though. If Blake feels this isn't somehow acceptable for now, Ullmark makes a lot of sense. The problem is Boston only real need is at center.

Would LA make Dubois that 2C by moving out Danault? Would Boston accept a deal around a 31 year old C? Danault is flat out better than Pageau so in that sense it might be worth considering as he addresses a need. Bruins fans might hate the guy from his days in Montreal and hate this suggestion.

That might work, but figured LA wouldn’t want to part with roster pieces in a playoff run.

LA was my 2nd team but after the last 2 years facing my Oilers in the playoffs that fandom is on pause. So while I can't speak as a current fan, I'd say you're probably right. Ullmark would provide huge value though (I'm a fan of him since his days in Buffalo and wanted the Oilers to get him)

 

[mikelvl]

Ullmark to LA for Englund & Riitch and something to NYI
Pageau to Boston for the extra from LA and something reasonable from Boston


No idea what the blanks are, but thought this was a good start for Boston, addressing their size and grit on the backend, center issue, and face off problems. Probably needs some salary cap work too.

Edit, was thinking about Turcotte as the add from LA to go for Pageau, and probably something added to balance the salaries.

WTAF, Ullmark is the best player in the trade, so the B's get two scrubs and the Turcotte goes to the Islanders?? Even Peter Chiarelli wouldn't make that deal!!

 

[SPV]

I put in ‘something‘ so the other team’s fans can help out, because when I guess a name people rip it apart, which might actually be the point of the trade forum anyway. LOL

Yeah, so the original question was what needs to be added. Pageau gives us someone who can win faceoffs at the end of a game, we don’t have that now in case you haven’t noticed. Englund is a big rugged defender, which everyone on our board agrees we lack.

NYI fan here. Pageau has been a major cause of late-game wilting this year. That said, you know his playoffs pedigree. (But the next two years on his contract aren't looking pretty.) I'd have thought Nelson would be a better fit. (He could play center or wing, serve as a trigger the 2nd PP.) Of course, JGP would be a dump, and Nelson isn't.

 

[SCMURRAY]

Isles already had a #5 pick bust, no thanks on Turcotte

Isles aren’t trading Nelson for some teams table scraps either. It’s going to be some insane overpayment by a team or Brock will just ride out the contract until the end on Long Island. A mediocre young player and a mid round pick won’t get it done. It’s going to be a 1st, top prospect (league wide top prospect) and a quality young player at minimum for the pride of Warroad.

I admittedly haven’t watched many NYI games this year. Pageau has been a guy that has always given Boston troubles. I figured he’s the same age as Ullmark, plays gritty and most importantly for us, wins faceoffs. We don’t have anyone tha5 can win faceoffs in the third period.

Perhaps the return I’ve asked for isn’t enough for Ullmark, maybe need a pick or prospect coming back too. But I tried to pick things that specifically addressed a need. A gritty faceoffs winner, a big physical defender, and a competent backup to replace Ullmark behind Swayman For the rest of the year.

I figured I also didn’t overshoot, which is a very common problem on this forum.

 

[Rorschach]

I don’t think the Turcotte for Pageau thing makes sense. If anything maybe Pageau might even be a negative asset.

Come the deadline, If the isles do move him. I think people will be surprised on the return. Deadline, teams go crazy and pay crazy prizes. It happens every year.

 

[Tahoeblue]

Maybe Lou would be interested in Kaliyev.

His contract will hinder a deal though. As a pending UFA, teams will take guys like that all day. If anything, he goes onto the 4th line as a winger and shifts over for faceoffs/pk.

Woo, cant wait to trade the Vezina trophy holder for 2 bottom of the roster JAGs and a 3rd JAG that gets paid like someone that's good
