Speculation: Islanders & Ducks talking trade?

[Beautvillier]

Less physical, we could only wish Nelson was physical. The general joke on the Islanders boards is Brock is a 6'3" guy who plays like he is 5'10"

To me Nelson is a guy who is playing Center but should be playing left wing and in the right situation I do believe he has 30+ goals in him(ie a center who can get him pucks)

if he shows up for more than half the season maybe

Speaking of Beauvillier, if I was 100% certain Beau could play center, I would keep Nelson and try him out with Barzal(ie a guy who could get Nelson pucks)

he played well with lee and ho-sang at the end of the 16-17 season while centering, wouldn’t mind giving him a lot of center time in the preseason.

Getzlaf for Tavares.

A free agent for a guy under contract?
Seems like somebody is getting ripped off

 

[MAHJ71]

You're making a thread to discuss a conversation that happened at 6:45pm yesterday? My Lordy

Considering HFBoards was up and down all night last night, it makes sense...

 

[ottomaddox]

Ryan Miller?

 

[dracom]

Ryan Miller?

this is the only legitimate possibility, but doubt it. We would have been in major trouble without Miller and unless we have another backup in mind I don't see why we would actually move him.

Id do it... I feel like we could resign him pretty easily

Good defense, good goalie.... good city/weather/stadium... some good forwards around him.... a team that generally drafts/develops really well around him.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

For the record id guess we may be trying to move up to the 40 or 43rd... im guessing theres a guy were high on still available right now.

 

[Newsworthy]

I see Brock Nelson as a trade candidate as NY needs space

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Older,less productive and with a huge salary.
Tempting,but no thanks

Might want to check your stats. Since the 2012-2013 season: Getzlaf .99 PPG, Tavares .98 PPG. Since 2015-2016: Getzlaf .95 PPG, Tavares .93 PPG.

Older and huge salary yes. But he had a higher PPG than both he and Barzal so not so much in the less productive thing. And don't tell me it's cause he got to play with 49 point 17 goal Perry cause that's a fascile argument.

Getzlaf out produced Tavares' scoring pace on a team that scored 0.4 fewer goals per game. Sure he missed 30 games due to injury so we can't know for sure how they could've matched up over a full 82 game span but Getzlaf hasn't lost his touch yet. Aside from Gibson's excellence the Ducks would've been much worse without Getzlaf's dominance.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Could be Corey Perry as they could use him to boost their leadership. But if I were Lou I'd be kicking tires at John Gibson, which I am quite aware is a longshot.

 

[dracom]

Why is there even an argument between Getz and Tavares right now? The age difference and contract difference negates any difference in skill between the two. Like, come on guys...

It's more than a long shot, really don't think it's worth discussing.

 

[darkwingduck]

Believe the talks were probably for Islanders first round picks which didn't materialize as the ducks were rumored to be talking about the 10th pick beforehand.

The ducks have a ton of issues but Getzlaf isnt even close to one of them. That guy excels with whoever he is playing. He makes AHL players look like potential all stars.

Ladd+ for Perry

Not speaking on the trade value here as one player isn't even signed...however:

Less Productive? Getzlaf has been more productive offensively for 2 seasons in a row now, is significantly better defensively and has manned a top-5 penalty killing unit for many years. He's also one of the best playoff performers of his generation.

Huge salary? Is 8.25 million dollars for a definitive top-10, very likely top-5 Center in the world really considered "HUGE"? Not even close... Evander Kane makes 7 in the current state of the cap world.

Old? You've got him there. He's bald too while we're at it.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Ladd+ for Perry

I'd much, much rather keep Perry and ride out the remaining three years than take on a lesser player for an additional two seasons. The cap savings definitely would not be worth the downgrade & extra term.

You cant trade a free agent

 

[405Exit]

What kind of deal would make sense for both teams?

This isn’t even speculation. This was merely conversation on anything. Why would you post this?

 

[405Exit]

Arthur staple is merely click bait. The summer has been boring since the draft and kings getting Kovy. He can’t let his twitter die so he posts this nonsense.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Perhaps the discussion between the GMs was about trading California Fish Tacos + Carne Asada fries(mexican poutine) for some NY thin crust Pizza & Cannoli's ? lol. The trade is held up until Long island ice tea's & Margarita's are added to the proposal.
