Lee
Eberle
Nelson
Do they plan re-signing any of them?
Do they plan on trading them?
Just curious what the game plan is for these players.
My hunch is Lee signs long term and becomes the captain.
Eberle and Nelson are gone in deadline deals or possibly before the deadline
Also, if Filpula has a decent first half he could be moved to a playoff team needing depth.
I think they should tear it down. The talent just isn't there to justify a retool.
Get u20 prospects and picks. Build around Barzal and their 2018 draft.
They don’t have a cup caliber defense or goalie. I think everyone can agree on that.What talent/how much talent do you think they lack that they can't do a retool?
It's fair, I was just curious, I agree too. I just don't think that trading Lee or Eberle would change those outcomes; I'd rather keep them and acquire that other talent regardless. I really don't want to give up two 60 point wingers.They don’t have a cup caliber defense or goalie. I think everyone can agree on that.
And with JT leaving even their forwards are suspect. Who is suppose to be a 2C?
I think it's pretty clear they're missing a 2C, 1D, and 1G.They don’t have a cup caliber defense or goalie. I think everyone can agree on that.

Tavares will still be a star player when that contract is overWe didn't make the playoffs with Tavares the last two years and we didn't have to sign him for 11 mil. I would rather have a cup contending team as opposed to have to please Judas and hate that contract in 2 years. The more I think about it the happier I get that he left.
its a clean slate come mid sept with an evaluation of the entire 40+ guys under contract getting underway , even the vets on expiring contracts .Lee

Would’ve made more sense than the leafsHe didn’t sign in Dallas.
Selling makes sense. But could they stay cap compliant without them?
True, but the short term options are less feasible. Easy to get a 4+ year bad contract handed over. Less so to get a year or two left.If the Isles ever were in a position to need to add salary to reach the cap floor, Lou's phone would be blowing up with all the GMs looking to dump contracts.
Yes even if they trade a few for picks there is still enough on the booksSelling makes sense. But could they stay cap compliant without them?
Lee is key.
This year they get to see if he is Rob Pearson or John LeClair.
Lee is still on the upside, strong as an ox with great hands. I'd give him the long term deal, although I would like to keep Eberle also.I'd be nervous about re-signing Lee to a long-term deal. Power forwards tend to wear down easier than others. I'd easily give Eberle a 5-6 year deal to keep him on Barzal's wing.
LMFAO god no. Biggest p***y I've ever seen.Nelson will go for around a 2nd somewhere I imagine. He is pretty big but does he use his size well?
