Proposal: Frans Nielsen to NYI

[Jester9881]

Is Hickey rock solid defensively? How is his mobility? First Pass? Transition game? PP/PK efficacy?

Thanks for the OP & any replies.

Oh, he's awesome. We've got some experts on the Islander board that tell me his +/- and corsi are superb.... best D we've had since Matt Donovan. No question

 

[Islesfan22]

He’s better then Pelech and when he comes back from injury Pelech will probably be the odd man out.

 

[BrockLobster]

Can we throw in clutterbuck and ladd?

 

[xIsle]

No interest for Nielsen. And I don't think it makes sense for us to acquire him.

 

[seafoam]

What about taking a chance on MarJo (Marcus Johannson)

Always thought he was more of a winger, and I don’t really feel like he’d fit with Trotz’ system (not sure how he did when he was on WSH).

Not really. He is better than Sbisa, though.

 

[Oddbob]

What would Detroit want in return? Any interest in Thomas Hickey (2.5m for the next 3 years)

You want him, we could probably be tempted for a conditional 7th pick in 2088!

I could even rent a bmx bike and ride him to the airport!

”Ladd” is swedish slang for cocaine so throw us a whole pile of it..!

I honestly think he'd be fine, and is definitely one of the additions NYI should be considering. I think NYI can hide a substandard bottom 6 center if they a add player like Johansen or Dzingel (as opposed to having that substandard center play with Kuhnhackl or Dal Cole).

Are you saying Johansson would be the 3C, or that he would be a wing on that line replacing Kuhnhackl or Dal Colle?

All I know is that I thought he was dealing with concussion issues on New Jersey.

Yes. I'm saying you could live with Komorov at C if someone like Johansson or Dzingel were on the wing. Players like that are versatile and athletic enough to play different roles out on the ice.

I don't really know about his injury situation. I'm just saying that I think his play-style would be fine.

Makes sense now.

I agree, Johansson is a better option than
Dal Colle (who I like, but think he still needs to get a little stronger and faster) and Kuhnhackl (who’s a good depth forward but not an everyday guy).

NYI should try to get a center, but if it is too expensive (i.e. 1st round pick expensive) they should go after someone that fits this profile. I know Dzingel will be a UFA, and I don't know what's his status with Ottawa. But he'd definitely be among the group I'd target for NYI (ahead of Johansson). Would also like to have first stab at signing Dzingel.

 

[IODCPiper]

Honestly it wouldn't take much for us to agree to get rid of his contract

Andrew ladd? Lol

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Andrew ladd? Lol

Maybe a few seasons ago

You guys got any 4th Rd picks?

 

[Newsworthy]

Marcus Johansson is what the Isles could use if available. Yes he's been hurt a lot recently but that's a risk you take. And his value is probably lowered cuz of it. However he's a player that Trotz knows pretty well and he's UFA after this year.

Pelech has a higher ceiling. He is better than Sbisa, though.
