So is Palmieri to the Islanders a done deal that Lou has locked in a drawer? Or is there a possibility he still goes elsewhere? Av's still need a good winger and he is one of the few left.
What's the hold up? Thought he was already resigning on free agency day.
f*** that. I like Eberle but mostly for personal reasons.Neat. I would’ve kept Ebs.
Id be surprised if Kyle comes in at below 5m AAVBetting toffoli deal give or take, 4 years 4.25 maybe cause more cap space this year league wide
So 4 years 4.5 million give or take .25 million.

Eberle was borderline irrelevant in the playoffs this year. His backhand goal was the only thing I think he did all playoffs.Eberle is the better playoff performer.

His production dropped when Pageau got hurt and was playing with a broken/damaged hand. He was a man on a mission until then though.Palmieri had 0 points in the conference finals.

hes worked too hard to get to free agency to not make more than his last contract. Even for a chance at a Cup, one only gets a single chance at a big payday in this league
The loss of Eberle means Bailey gets to stay which is a huge plus for the Isles. Josh leaving would leave a gaping hole that no one can really fill from within.The good thing about Ebs is he doesn't need a center to succeed.
Whatever, guess we will see how this plays out. I think fans that are happy losing Eberle are in for a surprise.

They protected them so Casey has an incentive to stay. I understand why Lou did it but like you said, it’s asinine. Wahlstrom might be the resolution from within to replace Eberle on the 1st line as a shooter.Yeah, I'd be happy to lose Eberle over Bailey, agree 100%.
That being said they protected Clutterbuck and Martin over both which is absolutely asinine.
I get the idea though, they needed cap space because of Beau, Pelech, and Sorokin.
And they've got Wahlstrom coming up, I just don't think he is the kind of player that is going to help with what Eberle is going to cause missing

I saw it awhile back. Toronto contacted him as well. Apparently the ask was north of $5m but I could be wrong. Insane number for a bottom 6 center (a very good one albeit) then again, crazier deals have happened.Did you hear the rumor Cizikas and Seattle were very close to agreeing to a contract? Curious what happens there.
I think there's a good chance it's a little bit under 5M. They're so close to winning and for him after spending half a decade on shitty teams, getting that experience late in the season, he's probably willing to leave some money on the table to feel it again with the same group of guys.
And it's not like he's that good that the Isles absolutely have to go out of their way to keep him and i think he understands that. 21 points in 51 games this past regular season wasn't the greatest showing in a contract year, even if he had 7 goals in the playoffs.
As an isles fan who watches both play, I respectfully disagree.Neat. I would’ve kept Ebs.
Wanting to get Tarasenko?What's the hold up? Thought he was already resigning on free agency day.
