Boychuk for Schmidt?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

In before rumoured to Van.

He should have negative value. If TJ isnt getting traded for Boychuck should cost a 1st+ to dump

 

[serp]

Very likely Isles have to add to trade him. Wonder how much.

At least he's much cheaper than his caphit i guess. Only costs $1,25M this season and $4M next season for his 6M Caphit.

Boychuk is a serviceable player and defenseman command more than wingers. While I agree that his contract means he has negative value, I highly doubt the isles cough up a 1st

Guys an absolute warrior and can still play but he can’t stay healthy and is getting up there in age. The sweetener might sting. I guessing EDM or OTT if it happens.

So this has Ottawa written all over it.

Man I think that this has Ottawa written all over it: 12 million of cap for 5.25M plus a draft pick

Ha

 

[Merrrlin]

I’m guessing they would have to sweeten and retain to make this happen. Any updates on Barzal?

Maybe. Maybe not, though. Boychuk is very cheap this year, but this is not the last year of his contract. Next year, he's owed $4 mil, including a $2.75 mil bonus. That may be a deal breaker.

I would assume there’s going to be a significant draft pick or prospect. Unless Isles retain 50%, and even then, it’s not a good contract.

Boychuk isn’t an NHL d-man anymore

 

[TheNewEra]

if ottawa didnt get a million mediocre defenceman i would have said something like reilly for boychuk plus pick

would save ottawa 250k in salary while gaining the cap hit and islanders save 4.5 million in cap

I also would have much rather gotten boychuk over gudbranson but such is life as a sens fan

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I’d assume at least a 1st has to be strapped to him. Maybe more.

When has this guy ever broken a story? He just flings shit at the wall.

To Ottawa or Arizona then.

 

[CupInSIX]

Kudos to the Islander fan who called Schneider to NYI (though I'm not sure they're excited)

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Using some inside info here, so take it for what it's worth, but I'd be somewhat surprised if the trade partner here wasn't the Devils.

 

[PullHard]

Boychuk + Komarov + sweetener to Ottawa for a warm body or two

 

[Maple Leaf]

Best shot blocker in the league?

 

[Unspecified]

"But there shouldn't be any team who wants Boychuk."

 

[TheNewEra]

Boychuk + Komarov + sweetener to Ottawa for a warm body or two

is that sweetner multiple picks???? boychuk is already a negative and you are adding in komorov...unless you think komorov is a positive then feel free to keep him

 

[JT Kreider]

Kudos to the Islander fan who called Schneider to NYI (though I'm not sure they're excited)

That was like not some genius hot take. All of us had that same thought in our heads as soon as he was bought out, that if one team were to sign him it would be the Islanders.

it’s obvious that Andrea and Renee’ have never seen Boychuk play.
