Proposal: MIN - NYI

[Em etah Eh]

If you're having fun have at it, but I wouldn't take 72 seriously as an Isles fan, every single time it turns into a stupid mess.

It's like a berntkeister trade proposal. How are you supposed to look away?

This thread is pure comedy.

Matt Dumba for Matt Martin

hmm.. That might be worth it.. I'll have to look up the NHLe for Metro to Central

 

[Digitalbooya]

This might be the first poster ever to suggest a Minnesota Wild player who's used to the high paced, high scoring and open games of the west, couldn't handle the tightly contested, dare I say "trapping" games of the east...

Lemaire's not even dead yet, but he's rolling over in his grave.

LOL. I almost died laughing at this.

Matt Dumba for Matt Martin

You missed the point of the proposal you quoted.

 

[Butchie91]

No he damn well ****ing couldn’t.

You must be working as NHL scout and talent evaluator.

Do you see a 70 point player in Brock Nelson?

 

[Butchie91]

Do you see a 70 point player in Brock Nelson?

As it stands now, NO. But point was made that IF he tried HARDER he could be. He's got tools to do it.

And the point was....?

 

[Digitalbooya]

And the point was....?

Nelson+ for Staal
Coyle for Barzal

I'll let you put it together.

This seems like a distinction without a difference.

I've got the tools(ingredients) in my kitchen to make a beautiful wedding cake. No amount of try hard is going to be able to make me actually able to do it.

This is laugh out loud funny because it's actually true. But it'll never happen.

Unbelievable that a professional athlete is simply asked by the fans to "try harder" and they can't do it. I despise him and his 6'3" 200lbs frame.

Brock Nelson could try his little heart out, he’ll never be a 70 point player, whether in New York OR Minnesota.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Brock Nelson could try his little heart out, he’ll never be a 70 point player, whether in New York OR Minnesota.

What about in Vegas, where dreams come true?

you vastly underestimate how little Brock tries

 

[CupHolders]

Do you see a 70 point player in Brock Nelson?

Maybe if he eats Panarin. But wrong kind of bread and creepily gruesome to think of.

EDIT: In a serious note, all things aligned in his favor, better coaching, usage and commitment on his part: 50-65 point player. Maybe a career year of 70. I have a hard time seeing everything break right for that to happen.

 

[Bazeek]

What about in Vegas, where dreams come true?

Yes, Nelson would fit in well with the notoriously lazy Golden Knights.

C'mon, man, i believe in you! Bake that damn cake!

I will say, thatguy72 doesn't reflect 99% of Islanders fans opinions. I also think pumping Staal as if he was 26 is another can of worms.

I don't think anyone holds his posts against anyone but him

I think it’s fair to pump Staal as our 1st line center on the best bang for buck contract outside of ELCs.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Lee + for Dumba?

 

[Digitalbooya]

Lee + for Dumba?

Nope. Don’t try.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Nope. Don’t try.

People seriously undervalue Anders Lee. You want goals, he’ll produce.

 

[IceBoxHockey]

If Dumba is traded it makes much more sense to aim for a center of similar age and upside. Not for a 28 year old winger.
