Rumor: Islanders working on a Boychuk trade

[Cor]

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

Replacing their names with female names?

so you are sexist?

I’ll take your opinion seriously.

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.

Do you have a source?

 

[MardyBum]

Don't you dare let Mo talk to you about this Chevy.

Agreed, that tweet is a classic stat-watchers take. Stat watchers have never liked the Isles.

He must have overheard it while working at Dippin Dots

I could see a deal that they trade Boychuk for a player that has a lower cap but higher salary(Boychuk's caphit is 6M but he only gets like 5.25M in actual money during those 2 years).

couldnt possibly be the other way around.

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 for the the AHL and as a 3rd goalie emergency call up. Also, if it’s for 2 years it will satisfy the expansion draft requirements of exposing a goalie.

 

[PullHard]

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

Not a fan of either team, I just see a good fit for Melnyk to add significantly more cap hit than salary for two years as well as gain additional assets

 

[Lame Lambert]

Great, now tell me about PDO.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Boychuk for Johnson

Actually I heard it was the Orange Julius vendor so you know it's super legit!

To Ottawa or Arizona then.

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.

Why would the Oilers have any interest in Boychuk?

But what teams need cap? Last I checked, Ottawa doesn’t need any help reaching the cap floor. Boychuck is still ridiculously overpaid at 5.25M.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Boychuk for Johnson

Why would Tampa do that? It doesn’t help them.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

They should have had this done weeks ago.

That much harder now.

 

[SI90]

Why would the Oilers have any interest in Boychuk?

Because I said so. Also, because Ken Holland’s cousin is Boychucks wife.

im just saying boychuk is dead weight but you could make a theoretical argument as to why the sens would be interested, obviously would require a sweetner

komorov might have made some sense before ottawa went and acquired watson, right now ottawa's bottom 6 is crowded and while there is the whole oh melnyk needs to hit the cap floor that has basically been achieved. I doubt eugene would spend extra money for the sake of spending money and he would logically want more skill in the lineup so some fans still show up haha

ottawa needs to spend 6 mill in cap to hit the floor and need to sign at least 5 forwards to hit the minimum which includes brown and tierney. It should be easily achieved.

The reilly for boychuk based deal makes more sense as it still technically saves ottawa money. This is asking ottawa to take on extra salary for the sake of it and having no real reason to do so. Does not sound like eugene at all.

 

[Carlzner]

With who? It feels like half the league is trying to unload bad contracts right now and there just aren't teams that can take them on.

Like... if there's a team that can afford Boychuk's contract right now, why not take a much better player that some other team is trying to get rid of?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Why would Tampa do that? It doesn’t help them.

Not this year, but it helps them in 2 years.

 

[IslesNorway]

Guessing Boychuck and Kieffer Bellows ( or 2nd round in 2022) to Ottawa or Detroit. Maybe even the Devils as Boychuck would like to remain on LI

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

According to capfriendly Boychuck’s NMC allows him to list 8 teams he would accept a trade to. Someone want to tell me why Ottawa would be one of those 8 teams?

 

[dbaz]

canucks should be in on this if the sweetener is good enough and isles take back one of roussel/beagle/sutter
