Value of: New York Islanders helping a team win their first Stanley Cup

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

I believe the Islanders will be in 11th place at the trading deadline therefore I'm hoping they for the first time they trade their UFA's. Maybe it's me but I believe most Islanders fans have one rooting interest come the playoffs and that's anyone playing Toronto so I want to help

1. Buffalo
2. Columbus
3. Nashville
4. San Jose
5. Winnipeg
6. Minnesota

Win their first Stanley Cup and keep the playoff drought alive. The package Is Leddy and Lee and we will take an expiring contract back to for salary cap purposes.

Sounds like a lot to give up just to see Toronto *possibly* lose in the playoffs.

Spite trades seems like a quick way to poor asset management.

That said, it would be amazing if we had serious spite trades each year. I can't think of any offhand other than what you'll see in fantasy leagues sometimes.

Its just you. If you were serious, you would also include Barzal.

Trading Leddy would be a mistake unless a team is seriously willing to pay for him. Any other UFA that isn't going to re-sign by the deadline can be had by whatever playoff team wants him, no spite.

If Toronto wants to pay a hefty return to put Lee on JT's wing opposite Marner, we take it and laugh when they get bounced in the 1st round again.

You must think very highly of Toronto if your goal is to make us lose and 4/6 of your list contains Western Conference teams

Stanley Cup finals, here we come!

I can understand trading expiring UFAs if you think you're going to finish out of the playoffs (maybe that should have been plan last year). But why this resentment for Toronto? Tavares was leaving the Isles, and the Leafs never even offered the most amount of money.
Strange that any NewYorker, would resent a UFA wanting to pick his "favourite" city to sign. Throughout the years in all sports hasn't the lure of New York City lured UFAs away from other teams? Isles lose one, and the world seems unfair for Isles fans.

Strong entrepreneurial instincts, dream big little one.

 

[CupsOverCash]

You know you can help TB beat them before they have to play anybody for the cup right??

Way over the top. Just way, way over the top.

that blueline without Leddy?

And dangle the captain? doesn't sound like anything close to what Lou Lamoriello will do.

I can see them moving Eberle and Nelson (even though he's playing well, now) and there may be some interest Filppula, though it wouldn't surprise me if they bring him back next year. A cheaper Frans Nielsen.

ALEXIVICH has much Wodka on Fridays but the rest of the week is a great guy.

We already took what value you had, Tavares is three goals shy of having as many goals as Barzal does points btw.

Yea and now that mattews has a star C on his team to take all the attention maybe he will break 70 pts! If he dosnt get hurt again that is..

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Columbus would probably be interested in Eberle. Would a Milano for Eberle swap work?

 

[Morgs]

Feels good man.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Oh right, John Tavares is a Maple Leaf...

Thanks for the reminder sometimes I forget with all the other star players here.

How's uncle Leo doing? Plays a mean piano apparently.

 

[Isles72]

Eberle ,Lehner,Filppula (likely waive his nmc) should garner varying degrees of interest leading up to deadline .

Isles could revisit signing lehner and flip as ufa's in 2019 if it makes sense for both sides .

 

[dirty stanchion]

This isn't salt. This is a cry for help.

 

[Gecklund]

I don’t think Leddy helps San Jose much. Lee could be interesting though. Maybe we could do something like Melker+Gambrell+2nd for Lee. Don’t know if that’s enough though.
