And had I seen those posts, I'd have likely said the same.

I’d hope so, since the two are crazy comparable. Bashing Turris is silly, he’s a great 2C.

Since getting out of Arizona:

Turris: 472 games, 316 points, .667 PPG

Nuge: 457 games, 313 points, .685 PPG

I've always been a fan of RNH, and before we got Patrick and RNH was somewhat considered 'expendable' I was on board with several trade ideas that sent RNH to Philly. Hes a very good option at 2C. And that's what we needed at the time.

Kyle Turris + + for Matt Duchene

Duchene to Nashville made sense pre-ottawa trade.

Turris + Ott 2019 1st + Smith + Nash 2018 2nd for Duchene + Hoffman

The answer to Nashville winning the Stanley Cup .
Nashville need to find a trading partner for Rinne 1 yr 7 000 000
clearing 7 000 000 off the cap.

To Nashville
Carey Price 20 % retained 2 .100 000
8 .400 000 cap hit.

To Montreal
Kyle Turris - 6 000 000 cap hit
A- level prospect
1st rd pick 2019

Montreal gains 2 .400 000 in cap space.

Nashville gains 4 .600 000 in cap space to spend in free agency or to a player received in the Rinne trade.

Yeah, that's not the answer to Nashville's problems, you don't know what you're talking about. That's a god awful deal for an asset that we don't even need. We trade our no.2 center and suddenly we need to replace him.

No thanks. Isles made the decision to gamble on loyalty bringing Tavares back. If they wouldn't trade him at the TDL when prices are highest, I see little reason to panic at the 11th hr and take an unwanted return

If it becomes obvious to the Isles that they’re not going to be able to keep Tavares, it seems like making a last second move and going forward with Barzal and Turris as your top two centers wouldn’t be the worst consolation prize ever.

How did Nashville got Ott 2019 1st and their own 2018 2nd round pick back from Avs? :sarcasm:

Even then, that would be a bad deal for Ottawa.

Since the isles are waiting until Tavares talks to other teams, in the last week of June +July , that will be a neat trick ( getting his rights before he talks to other teams)

What Islanders can offer of value is the ability to give Tavares an 8th year

If Tavares tells the Islanders no way in hell he will sign with us I would try 12th pick and Tavares signed to an 8 year deal for Turris

Looks more like the answer to Montreals problems, to me.

Clearly... the fix for an expensive goalie that fails in high stakes games is to trade him off and then spend a ton of assets bring in an even higher paid goalie that also has a history of mediocrity in high stakes games.

Yeah... good call

While also creating a huge hole at center, giving up a top prospect, presumably Tolvanen or Fabbro and and a 1st on top of that.

It was delightful reading the logic though.

If NSH is gonna move a C, it'll be Bonino, not Turris

If you are going to sign Tavares, you might be better off trading Turris and his 6M caphit, while keeping the more definsively reponsible Bonino for your bottom 6

I think they'd be just fine moving Turris down to the 3rd line. Of course, this depends on how close to 80 million the cap ends up for next season

Rinne was the issue for Nashville these playoffs. They should trade him because his value is only going to lower. And Saros is probably ready for the starting job.

rough postseason for sure but the devil you know is better than the devil you dont. Starting 20 games is far different than starting 60. Rinne is still a Vezina caliber goalie

Islanders will take Rinne off your hands.

Nelson + 2nd + prospect
or
Josh Bailey Straight up to give you guys more scoring and he's a decent two-way centre or wing
