Speaking to fans, I know Zadorov would be a great return. I'd rather have him and a first though.

Any 1st in the deal is likely to be in the 20s... I personally think Grigs is a better option than a 1st in the 20s. He is much closer to making an impact (arguably he could be in the NHL now, but for sure next year) and has about the same ceiling as a player in that range.

I'd rather have grigs but that's just me.
I like him enough as a player but 7 years is a long time for a player like him. Depending on the cap it could turn out very bad for the isles. Anything around 4 million is good tho.

While I would love to get Zadorov, I'm not crazy about Grigorenko. I would much rather prefer a guy like Pysyk over him but I really don't see Buffalo trading both of those two young stud D. To go along with that, if we are trading a F in ROR, I want to be getting someone back who can help plug that hole.

5.5 is pretty reasonable, hes a great defenseman and they aren't getting any cheaper.

Yeah if the Avs take back to bigger pieces, I think one has to be D and the other F... preferably a center. Grigs fits that bill.
Yeesh... I thought it would be in the 4.5-4.75 range with that term. EJ is really going to get paid.
Yep. People are nuts if they don't think Barrie is getting at least 5.5m by the time his deal is up.
Islanders are taking FIVE(!) UFA years in that contract too. And his best years is ahead of him.
I think Chicago would have loved him at that price. Put him with the Hammer and sent Oduya out instead. He has really looked out of gas this season.

I know the Leddy news just came out so I will add my two cents before my proposal to the board - my feeling is it's slightly high now for Leddy, but for the latter 2/3 of his contract it will be a good deal (barring injury and major setback). Limited downside in that I don't really see it ever being a BAD deal, unless Leddy regresses majorly.
Now, I know we all want d-men, that's at the top of my list. I'd be interested in seeing Reilly Smith in an Avs sweater - anyone have thoughts on what it would take to get him?

He's going to be cashing in big time, 6 million isn't out of the question in terms of what he'd be looking for.
I'm just trying to wrap my head around paying a 30 point offensive defenceman 5.5 mill with that much term. Typical Isles.

Isles should have waited until after the playoffs for that extension IMO. Make sure he performs when they need him to.
Yup, just hoping we can keep this young core and wont be forced into sacrificing someone due to cap issues.

Yeah, but hopefully, we are getting guys back for him that are going to cost money in the future. But hopefully after Iggy and Stuarts contracts are up.

Why don't players believe in the hometown discount. Who needs more than like 3M a year thats crazy.

He has really developed playing in a top pairing role with the Islanders.

Not Great, Bob!
Honest question, when was the last time somebody took an obvious huge discount?
Aside from Duchene.

Yeah, I highly doubt that's anywhere near as bad as they're making it out to be. It wouldn't be the first time someone from overseas had a solid rookie season and never improved on it.
I think they had low expectations, and when he exceeded them, the overcompensated.

Timonen before he had his healthy issues. Him basically being the lowest paid D-man amongst the junk the Flyers have back there is absurd. 2.0M.
