Friedman: Islanders are following the Canucks real closely for a while now

[UrbanImpact]

During a radiot hit, Friedman says he has been informed that the Islanders have been following the Canucks very closely since pre Halloween. Local reports in Van have also confirmed that there have been a big Islanders scouting presence during their homestand.

Is something brewing? There was of course that reported trade during the draft that got nixed at the very last second so at the very least we know these 2 teams have been in discussion for a while now.

Speculation by Vancouver media and insiders is that the Islanders are looking at Tyler Myers and Brock Boeser. Beuavallier and Pullock are the names being floated as players that would interest the Canucks.

Yeah of course “Vancouver media” is speculating the Canucks could dump Boeser and Myers and their $32 million remaining of contract commitment and $12.65 million combined cap hit for a top pairing RHD…lol.

A defender from the Isles for a forward from the 'Nucks?

 

[cg98]

Why would the Isles even trade Pulock when they just signed him?

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

If the Isles make any kind of deal like that it will be time to take Lou to the woodshed. Pulock is too good to give up in a deal like that.

 

[innitfam]

They want the Brock Boeser flow

 

[UrbanImpact]

Why would the Isles even trade Pulock when they just signed him?

Maybe Lou doesnt like the makeup of the team and wants more offensive juice by targeting someone like Boeser or Garland? not sure.

Pullock is just a speculated interest, the only thing that has been confirmed is there is a big big Islanders presence at Canuck games and that these 2 teams had major discussions in the summer.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Lmao the Canucks are absolutely not getting Pulock for someone like Boeser or Myers.

Idk why Canucks fans think that the mediocre players on their crappy team will somehow bring back top players on other teams.

 

[BKarchitect]

A minor deal for Garland involving some salary and futures heading Vancouvers way makes the most sense.

Nobody is paying for a limpy Brock Boeser right now. And LL is certainly not trading a key RHD in his prime who he just locked up on a sweetheart AAV right as the Isles look to be contending again. That he could be had for the names mentioned isn’t speculation it’s called day dreaming.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Idk why Myers to the Isles has been ongoing for a couple of years but as an Isles fan it's concerning.

I agree, I would take Garland, but the isles would need to send salary back.

Pulock isnt being moved.

 

[CupInSIX]

Garland, 3rd for a 1st + Bolduc, Martin & Panik

Thats horrible for the isles. Martin is not a cap dump, and Panik is a ufa to be.

Where did you hear or read its Myers Boeser for Pullock? or you making it up ?

 

[CupInSIX]

Martin and Panik are both cap dumps, and one or both would have to go if they want to add a top 6 winger.

 

[UrbanImpact]

I havent followed the Isles much this season, what would they be looking for in the Canucks? a Forward?

Who would be made available for said Forward ? It cant be just cap dumps and picks as Salary would have to balance.


Garland is on the cheapest deal in terms of available Canuck Forwards. he makes 4.9 mil aav.

 

[WangMustGo]

Martin and Panik are both cap dumps, and one or both would have to go if they want to add a top 6 winger.

Martin isnt, isles 4th line bas been fantastic this far and Martin is a key piece to that. Isles arent paying a 1st to dump Panik.

If we trade a first it won’t be for Garland, might as well shoot for Kane at that point.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

After the Isles pretty much gifting Devon Toews to the Avs, I would think they're more hesitant to trade a dman as easily now.

 

[UrbanImpact]

If we trade a first it won’t be for Garland, might as well shoot for Kane at that point.

Kane obviously the better player but why give up a 1st for a rental vs 4 years of 25 yr old Garland at 4.9 mil.

 

[WangMustGo]

Kane obviously the better player but why give up a 1st for a rental vs 4 years of 25 yr old Garland at 4.9 mil.

The isles arent trading a 1st for another middle 6 player signed long term that has broken 50 points once im his career.

Literally no Canucks fans think Myers, Boeser, or pretty much most of the team have any value outside of Pettersson, Hughes, and Demko (in fact, many of us think a large proportion of the team is negative value assets), but sure, read a Friedman/Vancouver media statement as the fanbase

Why eat a prime cut ribeye when you can have four Big Macs?

I actually think Garland is kind of a fit if the teams can find a way to even out salaries. He’s undersized but at his best plays the kind of buzzsaw middle six pest game with opportunistic scoring ability that would feel right at home in an Isles jersey.

Not for a first rounder though. And having four years of term left might not actually be a positive thing.

I dont think the Isles are moving a 1st for Garland either but what exactly is going the other way? Isles are showing real interest but prospect pool is kinda meh aside from Raty or Odeliuis. Plus salary would have to match.

I think Beuvaullier would be the contract going back which makes it just a change of scenery kinda trade?

I think its going to be a bigger trade that has been in the works for the last 6 months..

 

[Foppberg]

LOL Pulock, get the f*** outta here.

I could see Garland though, a Beau/Garland swap perhaps. Maybe Boeser, but he’s constantly hurt.
