Gotta find that thread it would be a fun argument to have again.


Jack Hughes is better, not by much but he is better.

Hughes is also younger by at least 2 years, which I think was apart of the argument. Hughes has another level imo.

It’s what should happen considering Beauvillier is a better player than horvat and more suited for todays game


I won't even argue. This trade might go down as one of the worst trades Lou has made with the Islanders

Selke race??? C'mon man.


Good defensively, but definitely not Selke level yet. Elite offense though

I’d say he’s elite defensively at 5v5, average on the PK

Remember when people were calling Pettersson washed at the beginning of last year? Saying he should be traded or sent down to the AHL? Pepperidge farm remembers

Whoops. Yeah, guess I did.
It was more back-of-the-envelope...than a perfect science.
Bergeron should be there.

Nill likes Suter, don't see a buyout happening unfortunately.

I think that slot will be open for Stankoven. The winger we acquire is likely strictly a rental.


I hear ya on Stankoven, but would rather see them ease him into the NHL and get someone at the deadline who can be a 2nd line RW for the rest of this season and next, before sliding up to take over for Pavs (gotta imagine that he's retiring after 23-24 season since he will be 40) on the top line. I guess Kane is the only one available who would fit that bill and he will be expensive.

With how overpriced Kane will likely be, I wonder if Nill would make a move for someone like Sheary as a rental...or try to get Puljujarvi at a discount and hope the Finnish Mafia can get him to play better. Obviously neither guy is a top 6 forward, but they're probably better than Kiviranta or Gurianov.

Surely it's just going to be a late round pick right?

He plays 4th line, and his analytics aren't very good. Not sure why any teams would be interested in him.

Just found out he had 7 points in his first 8 games. He has 2 points in his last 30

Ok. He was crucial to the rangers last year in the playoffs and to Vancouver before. Teams love him on the 4th line . He’s useful
