Dreger: Islanders 1st round pick to vegas (per source)

[LeafSteel]

Folks, maybe the deal is the 1st and a specific, non-impact player. Makes no sense to give up a 1st and lose an impact player like CDH, whereas the original option was only to lose CDH and keep your first.

Let's wait for details before the knee-jerk reactions bashing GM's. They have a pretty good idea what they are doing here, folks..........

 

[Mortiest Morty]

CDH is protected...

 

[IslesNorway]

CDH is protected...

Nope. Not on the list.

One can only hope it's a deal where our 1st goes to Vegas for them to take on Grabovski and someone we don't mind losing. I know Grabo is ineligible for selection but he is still available for trade

 

[FourRings]

1st and CdH for them to take Kulemin and return them Neal/Staal?

 

[hockeyheadlines]

1st and CdH for them to take Kulemin and return them Neal/Staal?

This makes more sense. Maybe not those exact players but...

 

[FourRings]

I'd rather keep Grabovski, pawn off Kulemin then LTIR Grabo and clear ~10mil in cap space

Pulock and Pelech instead? That seems kind of stupid

Yup. Strange inclusion of Pelech but I suppose Weight values him greatly.

 

[Pyromaniac]

How does Snow still have a job?

Well, Snow usually doesn't

This is the other option I think is on the table; McPhee worked in the Isles front office and probably likes Pelech, he leveraged this info to snag a first from Snow.

 

[BossyMVP]

The 1st is so Vegas doesn't take strome, Nelson,or dehann. Hockey will likely be picked.

 

[Pyromaniac]

Well they can't pick baseball.

 

[AkiLumme]

Exposing De Haan over Pelech implies one of two outcomes:

1) The Isles lose De Haan to avoid losing Pelech
2) The Isles pay a higher price to not lose De Haan than they would have to not lose Pelech

For either situation, this looks pretty dumb.

 

[BB88]

C at 6, D at 15 and what else.
What a start for Vegas.

 

[AkiLumme]

This is the other option I think is on the table; McPhee worked in the Isles front office and probably likes Pelech, he leveraged this info to snag a first from Snow.

So you're saying they could have just lost Pelech and kept their 1st round pick? I can't imagine anybody values Pelech higher than 15OA.

 

[Jonas1235]

Islanders have 1 forward prospect and 1 goalie prospect. They shouldn't be trading anything. They are in a tough division, they should be GETTING prospects/picks

i know, it's laughable how the trolls come out to bash Snow, without even knowing the details. just a day ago, some were calling for his head, because he was 'doing nothing'.

i am guessing that it is something like isles 1st + Kulemin or Hickey? Kulemin is a handy player to have, but saving $4 mil this year, might allow Snow to fit Duchene ($6 mil) onto the roster.

Well I do. Pelech is a good, known quality.

I mean it's Pelech, not Steve Bernier people.

 

[c_robio]

They likely made a deal to protect all 3, then used the extra protection slot on Pelech cause why not

 

[AvsGuy]

Just to clarify, Isles are willing to lose De Haan AND their 1st round pick just to keep Ryan Strome? Lol

 

[Tripod]

Just from a PR/harmony stand point, wouldn't the NYI want to include CDH in the main group protected instead of Pelech if he was indeed part of the protection group?

 

[AkiLumme]

Just to clarify, Isles are willing to lose De Haan AND their 1st round pick just to keep Ryan Strome? Lol

Question for Isles fans: of the players left exposed, which do you value the most? And what do you think is a reasonable price to pay to keep that one player over the 2nd most valuable player?

 

[Goulet17]

I think it is unclear at the moment, the first round pick may have been to protect de Haan and Nelson/Strome.

In any event, I don't see the point in mocking the Isles or their fans. The ED is a strange wrinkle for teams to have to navigate.
