LA looks to be lacking top 6 LW/depth on the wings, and the Islanders desperately need a top 4 defenseman. Could Lee get Muzzin or Martinez from the Kings?
Discontent?What about a bigger package for Doughty. Just bc he’s expressed discontent. Also trying to gauge value.
Lee, Pelech (D), 1st, and a 2nd?

Discontent?
**** that
Some of his statements. You know what I meant. Coupled w his impending UFA status.
Nope, not to me. Isnt lee's deal expiring and him due a big raise?I'd prefer Muzzin over Martinez, is Lee for Muzzin close?
I must have missed them. He has said a few times that he wants to re sign in LA.
Ok, well forgive me then.
Was also gauging value.
I would do Lee + 12th for Muzzin and Fantenberg or a 3rd round pick. With Lee being a UFA, we would need a good +. Fantenberg played great for us in the playoffs and even was the on the 1st pairing when Doughty, Muzzin and Forbort did not play. He is most likely a 3rd pairing with being able to fill in the top 4 if someone is injured for a short stint.
I don't see LA brass trading for UFA unless they see a decent benefit. + LA is not pressed on having to trade Muzzin.No thanks, I mean Muzzin's only got 2 years left on his deal and is 2 years older than Lee anyway.
I might be tempted to do something like Lee + 12 for Muzzin + 20, but otherwise I'd explore other options.

Zero interest in Lee+12OV for Muzzin+sweetner. Milbury has not been nyi GM in yrs.I would do Lee + 12th for Muzzin and Fantenberg or a 3rd round pick. With Lee being a UFA, we would need a good +.

I am hoping Nelson+ the higher 2nd can be used to add a 2nd pairing D, but realize it may take Lee,the more productive scorer.
It's more the term. UFA are none starters for Muzzin, unless their is a decent compensation for Muzzin extra year.I thought LA had scoring issues.
If not,these teams do not match up well as trade partners.
I would look to teams needing goal scoring.

A 40 point Defenseman with an extra year + another D: YES. Muzzin as UFA would command 1st +. But it seems Blake might not be trading no one, so who know.you want a 40g scorer and pick 12 for muzzin?
yikes
I get that.It's more the term. UFA are none starters for Muzzin, unless their is a decent compensation for Muzzin extra year.
It would be very tough to resign Lee, with Doughty looking for 10.5 mil and probably more the same year. I see Lee more of a rental because of that. We have some $$$, but will probably be close to tapping out after resigning our young players like Kempe, Iafallo and Amadio.I get that.
But, teams in the mix for Lee will realize he is looking for an extension and with the cap rising will either be interested or not. He is coming off 34 and 40 goal seasons. Isles will not be dealing Lee + anything significant.
27 yr old Lee is the significant piece.
If his closing in on becoming a ufa, is a nonstarter for LA, then these two teams will simply kick tires and move on.
