Proposal: Ott & NYI
- Thread starter Taluss
- Start date
No, we can try to sign Duchene after a trade or as a ufa. Isles arent trading Dobson.

No thank you. No Dobson. Don’t care if that is what it will take to acquire Duchene. Isles should then simply, not acquire him.

Kovalchuk: A spy?
Not interested in parting ways with Dobson, he is far and away out best prospect right now.
Sens fan would say great.
Islanders fans unlikely want to trade Dobson.

Fair enough, I typically dont like the "can try to sign him in UFA" response especially with a player such as Duchene but I believe Isles possibly could. I find in this case there are a lot of teams who would give him serious offers in UFA. No guarantee whatsoever Isles get him there.
Cheers for the response!

It's great other fans appreciate Dobson enough to concoct these elaborate trade proposals to get him, but rentals don't return the top prospect of an organization.

Bode Wilde is a great prospect as well, for a signed Dutch I would consider him + a 1st.
I may get eaten alive by my fellow isles fans for saying that, lol. It seems like most of us are reluctant to give up much and would prefer targeting a low key player opposed to a big fish

No to the Dobson offer, but I'm willing to discuss Eberle for Tkachuk because rentals apparently return that kind of sky high value this deadline. Just think of how great that would be for my team.
No theres not any guarantee, but there are alot of good free agents that would help the isles this offseason without having to give up Dobson. I dont see the isles trading any of Dobson/Wilde/Wahlstrom/Sorokin.
The "can try to sign him in UFA" is ridiculous but not as ridiculous as the "sign and trade" offers. Why would Duchene sign a contract right now only to be traded? He's going to hit the market and choose where he goes after hearing all offers.

He did say signed btw. That makes a pretty big difference.
Someone can't read. "Signed Duchene"
You're not getting a signed top6 for scraps. lmfao Jesus Isle fans

If Duch is signed I swap Dobsen for Wahlstrom. You have to give up something to get a signed 1C
Realistically its very doubtful that a sign and trade happens. When is the last time that has happened at the deadline?
As for prospects that i could see going for Duchene id say a 1st and Bellows maybe Aho, but id rather hold onto Aho.

Fine, a signed Jordan Eberle for Brady Tkachuk.
Yeah because Eberle is a top6 C, and the same caliber for Duchene. Take a hike.

And that's a load of bullshit. Why would he re-sign with absolutely no ties to LI or the Isles? Brisson is his agent. He is this close to UFA, he's going to explore the market. He's a rental.

The proposal had a signed Duchene, so asking Dobson back isn't insane. But he's probably not going anywhere, unfortunately.
