Lou probably won't. Should they? If they are going to rebuild the team, Nelson is the player they'd get the most for except maybe Sorokin. Thanks for the comment, Jordan.
I feel like if the Islanders are soaring after the AS break and in a playoff spot approaching the TD, Lou has to think about acquiring a scoring forward. If the Isles fall in the standings, Lou has to consider a retool, which to me, means shopping Nelson since his value will be very high. I doubt anyone takes Palmieri, Pageau or Lee.
I think that's a straightforward and reasonable approach. If they're close enough at the trade deadline, I know Lou is likely to be a buyer. I'm less confident he would be a seller if they're not, but they certainly should be. Nelson would have the highest value and it will only go down as he gets older. Would clearly be saying this group is done if he goes that way, but we'll see. Thanks for the comment, reese.
Makes it tricky. They would have to waive the NTCs. Pageau has a modified so if the Canucks are not on the list of 16 teams he doens't want to go to, he can be traded there. Mayfield has a full NTC. Not sure anybody would want his contract though. It's tricky but not impossible. Thanks for the comment, floridalacrossnews.
Nobody is trading for Mayfield. Ever. Period. You would literally need to lobotomize another GM in order to take that player at this stage of his career with that contract. Nobody is trading for Pageau. Ever. Period. You would literally need to lobotomize another GM in order to take that player at this stage of his career with that contract.
@@jp783 I agree 100% the team really hasn’t got any assets, extremely hard job for the next general manager, you couldn’t get Mayfield on a Mens league team you know, the games get played at your local area and there usually at Midnight lol

@@LockedOnIslandersThis team is NOT winning the Cup. You know it. I know it. Please stop. Not this year, not for the next 5 years, probably not in 10 years unless they change course yesterday.
Good morning team. Gil, interesting trade rumor. How credible is it, and could it truly happen? Chemistry is the name of the game here, and Bo has played with Kuzmenko. I'm all for improving the team any way it could be done. If there's a way to get him, I say, let's do it. I love defensive hockey, but get very excited when our team scores. How does everyone else feel? Everyone have a great day! Great talking with you all. Let's do it again tomorrow. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
The rumor comes from a reliable source, but how close it is to happening is a major question. It may never take place but at least it shows they're looking to improve the team I guess. Thanks for the comment, Tony.
Please please don’t trade our 1st round pick I think number 15-16 why we need to build a future, first order of business let’s get rid of every player that we need to get rid of 2nd build as much as we can stay in house, the biggest contract we need to worry about Dobson, the longest journey starts with a single step, work building cap space whether Lamarillo does something at the trade deadline or not I don’t see the team getting the cup ! LGI !!!
Raymond, they are not a Cup contender right now. And honestly, they haven't been a favorite to win the Cup in a very long time. Thanks for the comment.
Kuzemenko broke out and had 39 g, 35 a last season. Kuz seems to be lost behind plethora of casuck scorers they have this season. Kuz has played with bo so there is a connection there and is a lw, a spot that needs to be filled on top line. Depending on the price it could be worth a shot. jr and louzer could hook up for trade again like last season. Louzer will deal that first anyway. Casucks will take that first and deal it to fill a spot at tdl. Looks like a fit. Casucks don't have much cap space as well. Along with first it would have to be player for player. Who in the fk on isles roster that can fit under their cap would casucks possibly want? 26-get real. 18-no way. An overpriced 27 or overpaid d man like 3? Doubtful. jpg? Probably best fit for casucks who must be in win now mode.
Or be dealt to Vancouver in this trade. We shall see if it happens but the rumors are out there. Chicago was the other team allegedly interested. Thanks for the comment, Jannik.
I would be crazy to trade Kuzmenko. Even though he's 27 he's new to the NHL and this is his sophomore slump. He didn't take his offseason training seriously. He's a bit of a goof ball. Not a Tocchet guy but the coach has been deconstructing in order to reconstruct the player to give more hustle, chest hair and defensive awareness. So ya the player is reeling emotionally. But slumps end and redemption arcs happen: it is not hard to imagine him being an absolute steal for the Islanders.
That is the best case scenario. And because he's slumping and isn't a good fit with Tocchet, the cost should be lower than it would have been a year ago. Let's see what happens. Thanks for the comment, virtualrealitychannel.
Word is laffs are still in hot pursuit of a d man. Trade laffs 3. Laffs don't have much draft capital/few prospects and would have to trade a contact out to make it work. A first and third (thanks engval) this draft. No second for three years. No first, fourth in 25. At this point isles are trending down and soon could be too far out with too many teams to catch. Unlike last season when isles were in a playoff spot most of year and took a major pen choke job to get in. I'd wait a few more weeks to see where isles are before seriously trading that first. Isles get in 7-11 range could be in range for one of top d men dickenson or pareyk or riser greentree. A good piece for the re-build to come.
Isnlandeers should target tarsanko,,kuzmenko, or my favorite here jordan eberle. Should get ridnof wahlstrom,palmeri, and/or Mayfield. This was a bad signing for you have him on your 3rd pair. Shouldnt be a 3.5mil....its like a gudbrandaon deal but at such a long term its a head scratcher. 1. Barzel and Horvat need to be split. Horvat Lee x, nelson Barzel x... 2. Clearly should loook into trading varlamov, he can easily get a jordan greenway and maybe with an okposo... 3. Please put dobson and pelech....this makes me feel like pullock is expandable and even if not tradinf mayfield, mayfield can replace him and romanaov can play all 3 pairs... Im an ex ranger fan....currently really like the red wings eventhough i think their not utliz8ng their prospects but thatd a diffewnt story. Islanders have one of the best built teams and its sad to see them underachieve. I think they just need more speed and scoring.
They definitely need more speed and scoring. Will they get it? That's another story. Yeah, the Red Wings have been better lately but they have some work to do. Isles are undereachieving that's why they brought in Roy. I hope he can make a difference. Thanks for the comment.
Time to restock, not trade away more draft picks. The Islanders will likely be sellers at the deadline, and hopefully Lou will be able to dump a few veterans like Nelson and/or Pageau for some future assets.
@@LockedOnIslanders If they're out of the playoffs, it makes sense depending on the return. He only has a year left on his contract and the team needs to get younger.
@@mikemallimo9286They HAVE to trade away Nelson. He's literally the only guy who is hovering 30 on this roster with a reasonable contract for his production and is the ONLY valuable, tradable asset. Time to be alerted to that reality.
As the GM, Lou has to make the trade. I would expect him to speak to Roy and to Bo Horvat who was his teammate in Vancouver last year before the trade and to his pro scouts. Thanks for the comment, christophercancel.
Salary cap wise, perhaps Pageau and maybe they throw in Wahlstrom. Not sure exactly, that hasn't been discussed, but those two would be almost an even cap trade. Thanks for the comment, VanMichael.
Just read an Athletic article about their top prospects and it doesn’t look good. The top ranked is Callie Odelius a stay at home defenseman. That is not good. Dufour who did not take a step up is third. Not sure how top heavy this year draft even is so maybe make a move.
It's not a pretty situation for sure. Maybe acquiring prospects rather than picks is the best way to go. Either way, that means Lou has to decide to retool or rebuild and I don't think he's necessarily doing that. Thanks for the comment, Alex.
This is a new fans opinion. I came with Patty. Part of the problem is Lou. The rules he has are outdated. His contracts with players has put the team in a bind, to the point they can't pivot. I mean, I guess you could give up round picks. But with the age of a lot of the players on this team, you don't want to do that. Anyways just my opinion. But sometimes outside eyes see more clearly.
David you're spot on and I've been saying similar things since last offseason. I know Lou is the root cause of the problem. I hope Patrick can improve the situation by getting more out of the available talent, but this team needs to get younger, faster and more skilled and Lou has the entire prospect system bare. I will discuss that more on tomorrow's show. Thanks for the comment and welcome to the LO Isles family.
@LockedOnIslanders I think he had put Patty in a fuck of a situation. You have to play by Lous rules with an aging team that you can't trade off. Said players you can't trade off are playing like shit for a few reasons. 1 old rules are stifling their creativity. 2 they are learning a new system. And 3 I have watched every game since Roy took over. And from watching them play. At this point they are ok with losing. I know your pain, buddy. I live in Ottawa. Look at the sens stacked with young talent. Buy they have zero heart. So once again, no playoffs for us.
Lou has done a horrible job with the roster. The Pierre and Mayfield deals were lousy along with brining back Martin and Cal and giving Lee 7 years. It's time for Lou to retire. He does not understand the Cap and that this is a speed and skill league now.
So, as you were saying Gil about Kuzmenko and this "reliable source" and that this wasn't narrative pushing? You have any addendums to make outside of the obvious one? Why not make a video that has a title of what you wrote to me, "New York Islanders Need to Be Sellers at the Deadline", if that's what you would like to see?
Unless the team makes a run between now and the deadline, I think that's the wisest approach. But that doesn't mean that's what Lou is likely to do. If I were a betting man, I would say Lou will be a buyer at or before the trade deadline. We shall see what happens. Thanks for the comment, jp783.
I am not sure about Kuzmemko. Unless you are doing some sort of rebuild or retool you are supposed to trade your surplus for something you need. Do they really have a surplus of anything? Pageau was/is a good PK guy. PK is now horrible. Would PK get even worse without him? To me their big problem is holding leads and the PK. Was that just Lambert and Roy will straighten that out? The jury is still out on that.
Roy could help, but the flaws of the roster are still there. Unfortunately, this group has probably peaked and there isn't much of a prospect pool to replace them. Thanks for the comment, adk46er5203.
I hear you. Wahlstrom is in a tough spot. He rarely plays so he can't get into a groove, but when he does play, he doesn't play well enough to keep playing. I hope he gets a final chance under Roy. Thanks for the comment, JetdiSavage.
Hi Gil! Go get Kuzmenko!! Sophomore jinx’s are real and can be a major sniper surprise for us. Once your in the doghouse with Tochett-you’re done. Roy will make that kid go!! Kuz/Bo/Barzie can be real dangerous. Work ethic an issue? Well once you’re unhappy it’s tough to get that back. Whally and 2nd or 3rd rounder. Take our potential for ours and a 2nd for his “Lucky 39”! Can’t lose out to Hawks--CAN’T”!! Hawks don’t need him-we do!! Last call here for this team. Then trade Jg-to make room. I think Maclean can do what Jg is doing right now and cheaper. Gotta free up like you said Gil--Jg can really help a true contender. As much as I want Laine (now not happening I don’t think) or Tarasenko, I’ll gladly embrace Kuzmenko!! Take care Gil!! Ps-he’d be at home with Sorro, Varly and Romo!!
