This team has overachieved thus far. I feel the last two games could be a sign of things to come for the rest of the year. Trotz is a great coach, and his structure has helped them achieve a respectable record thus far. But they have a glaring lack of overall talent, and speed, and will only go so far. Thus, I propose gutting this core. If it sends us tumbling toward the bottom of the league , then so be it, we need to add more premium talent through the draft anyway.
Bearing this in mind, I propose a fire sale, with the following players available:
Lee
Bailey
Eberle
Leddy
Nelson
I'm curious what all 5 of these players could yield as a return. So I ask fans of other teams (not you fellow Islander fans, I've had enough of my fellow Islander fan friends telling me that this team can legitimately compete, and shouldn't entertain trading any of these guys) to tell me if you were trading for any of these players, what could you see your team giving up for them. You don't have to list a value for all 5 players, just the one(s) your team would be willing to trade for.
I'm trying to figure out what a mini-rebuild could look like for the Islanders. Knowing what we would potentially get for these 5 guys, and adding those assets to the likes of Wahlstrom, Dobson, and all the rest of the prospects, would help me have a better picture of things moving forward. Thanks.
