Oh boy

To Columbus- Strome, deHann

To Islanders- Foligno, 2nd

Why would the Isles do that?

Strome is inconsistent, but so is Foligno. Foligno 6 years older than Strome, making twice as much money.

Then they're adding a middle pairing D? I just don't get it.

An Isles fan proposed this? Strome is better, younger and cheaper than Foligno while DeHann is worth more than a second. This proposal is a head scratcher

I agree with this, maybe Cam Atkinson instead. Foglino is a definite pass.

Foligno is basically another Ladd....

Meanwhile, from the Jackets' perspective, Foligno is kicking ass and taking names (he was over a point per game even before the Montreal Massacre), and while De Haan is pretty awesome he'd be seriously underutilized here. And Strome's development has been... bumpy, to say the least, so any motivation we'd have to acquire him has gone down considerably.

Not much reason for the Jackets to do it. And if Foligno ends up cooling back off, this is potentially disastrous for the Islanders - to make this even slightly worthwhile for them, Foligno would have to stay at close to his current production level, and... yeah, I love the guy, but that's not happening.

No reason to trade our captain for this. At the point it doesn't help us any and we are playing pretty well. This hurts the locker room and can turn the season completely around into a tank job.

Foligno has 122 points in his past 160 games. Strome is not better than him. Cheaper and younger? Absolutely. But he is not better.

Before we trade guys like Strome, Nelson, CDH, Lee, we need to trade Jack Capuano to the unemployment line in exchange for a decent coach. Panicking and trading away the youth is a terrible idea.

Strome better than Foligno? I'd love to hear the explanation for that one (ignore the proposal, obviously a non-starter for both clubs).

Hey guys Strome is better because he is younger!!!
Give me a break

Strome better than Foligno? I'd love to hear the explanation for that one (ignore the proposal, obviously a non-starter for both clubs).

Strome is a better playmaker (first assist/60), has better primary production, generates more shots, but Foligno is better at most other metrics after taking a closer look. Foligno is better now but I think Strome still has a lot of potential and is not being utilized correctly. Foligno has been given every opportunity to succeed and if used similarly I believe Strome would be a better player if not this year then soon.

 

[SI90]

As an isles fan absolutely not.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

So we are getting older and putting more money on the books?

 

[Isles72]

I'm not interested in the trade idea but for a guy that was supposed to be leaned on more this season he sure hasnt really delivered (strome)

idk where the 2014-15 version of the guy went but I want him back

 

[Mister Twister]

Given that Isles fans hate this, and that I, as a Jackets fan, also hate this, I don't think this is a good foundation for any sort of hypothetical trade.
