Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2019-20 Pt. VI: The Overpriced Edition

[leeroggy]

A lot of people reporting Devils are close to finalizing another deal.

Palmieri is scratched

Simmonds and Vatanen are also possibilities

Palmieri is not scratched. Fake tweet.

Palmieri is not scratched. Fake tweet.

The tweet doesn't say he's scratched.

I said he was scratched because it was circulating on Twitter. Seems like it may be wrong. My bad.

Yeah, I thought he meant the tweet in your post for some reason.

 

[PK Cronin]

McKenzie reporting that Martinez is going to Vegas for two 2nd rounders after Los Angeles gets back from their trip to Winnipeg. Not a done deal yet.

 

[SI90]

Extra 2nd is because Martinez has another year left.

 

[BrockLobster]

I’d try and Flip Eberle if we got Palmieri.

That would be counterproductive.

 

[SI90]

That would be counterproductive.

not really. Palmieri is a better player getting rid of Eberle would get us some assets to use for a trade and/or open up some room to sign Barzal and possibly bring in someone via trade.


I like Eberle by I Believe he’s expendable.

 

[CupHolders]

Didn't Wang also insist that the Islanders shouldn't retain any money? I thought that also hurt. Could be wrong though.

That rings a bell with me, and knowing Wang I'm sure it's true.

Pretty sure this was reported by Art. Also believe there was another option of taking back an expiring contract. Can’t recall, but I feel as if Minnesota was rumored.

We should be trying to add to the top 6. Not replacing it with 5-10 extra points a year

He’s signed for next year. He’d get NJD a good haul. I love him as a player. Plays a 2 way game and has a great shot.

would cost 1st + good prospect and possibly more.

2020 Lottery Protected 1st, Bellows, and Aho/Wotherpsoon.

Palmieri is a beast and would be a great fit, only better if he was LW, but they have been trying to move Bailey to LW.

I make that trade. I would prefer not to trade Aho but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker.

you have to give to get.

I really like Bellows but Palmieri is proven and has an all around game.

Ya, I dont think they even entertain that though with his NTC...

Personally, I would just move Bailey down to the third line with Brassard and what other rookie if we can't also get Grant or someone and then next season maybe put Koivula/Wahlstrom into the mix.

Leddy would be the one you could trade to fit his 4.65 million salary in, assuming you get Pelech back healthy, sign Toews (RFA) and re-up with Greene on the cheap. Plus you may still have Aho...

I’d rather Rackell but Palmeri would be close second choice. Laine actually is player I’d really give up the big package for though I have feeling Jets would move him and for right price he is available.

I’d try and Flip Eberle if we got Palmieri.

I'd trade Eberle a lot of places for a lot of things, but he has a full NTC until 21-22 at which time he can deny a trade to half the league.

Unfortunately Nelson has the exact same terms.

 

[periferal]

 

[teknics]

I don’t even care anymore. They need goals. Now.

 

[Lights911]

I wouldn’t mind getting Kreider but you know whoever we trade will become a superstar for them

 

[xECK29x]

He would be exactly what we need

 

[IslandersFan17]

I'll say, its def interesting to see Lou poking around a rival.

 

[SI90]

the rags would fleece us. In order to make that trade work we’d have to pay a kings ransom and Kreider isa ufa. I think he’d help and be a good fit with Barzal but does he make us a contender to the point where we can afford to give up the haul that it would require?

when he signs back with the Rags July 1st it’s going hurt even more.

Rags can’t afford him,that’s why they are trading him.

Why is it unfortunate that nelson has it? Hes on pace to be a 60+ pt 2C. He sucks too?

 

[SI90]

not true. They’re actually trying See if they can extend him. If not, they’ll move him.

 

[SI]

Are you trying to give everyone a seizure with this GIF.

Kreider would be a great add
