Thread: Rossi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcheesy</b></div><div>Cizikas can't be on the first line next year. I keep being told we don't have enough for Rossi but I think we do.</div></div>

If it works with him, Barzal and Horvat I'm fine with it, especially since in this scenario we'd have better C depth. I don't think we need a top tier 1LW for that line to be dominant, just a talented complimentary player who can keep up and play their role. If Cizikas can excel in that spot, I say go for it.

We may not have enough for him, if what they're looking for really is a young, potential top-6 power forward. I don't think Rossi alone gets you that though and if my team had that kind of guy, I wouldn't be looking to trade him for an undersized, all-offense C unless that's what I desperately needed

Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tommybarzy</b></div><div>Lou didn't think trading for Vatrano at the deadline was the right move, I doubt he does it in the offseason.

Also god help me if the islanders haven't learned their lesson about overpaying for 4th liners (clutter and Martin) and spend almost 2 million on Carrick when they have fasching and Gauthier for practicality league min</div></div>

I see where you’re coming from on both points. You may be right about how realistic Vatrano is, but I think, on paper, he’s the perfect fit to complete the top line. Nelson obviously isn’t a permanent solution, especially if JGP is moved, and Vatrano’s play style I think would really compliment the other two. Hopefully we reconsider.

I’m not against spending big on the bottom six if it’s the right guys. The 4th line was worth every penny back in the day, even when they were making about $10 million combined. Fasching and Gauthier are still here, yes, but ones a regular healthy scratch and the other got waived out. I’d welcome an upgrade, even if it meant spending a little extra.

How would you handle Lee for next season? I wasn’t really sure what to do with him. It’s pretty unlikely he gets traded but he’s also mostly a liability in the top 6.

Thread: More Playing - Dont take it seriously
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>Islanders would need to send back Palmieri or Bailey but otherwise would consider it.

Would also need to have a long term extension in place at 8 or so. Not gonna pay all that for one year at 9 mil</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tm0000</b></div><div>I think the Isles would do that trade in a second if there was any way they could fit a Debrincat extension under the cap, but that seems unlikely.</div></div>

I might be a victim of some recency bias in bringing this up but what do you guys think about a trade centered around DeBrincat for Dobson? Aho looks poised to step into a top-4 OFD role and could hopefully replace some of Dobson’s offense on the back end and in this scenario, Ottawa’s getting back a useful player they can use now.

Not saying either side should do it but it interested me, wanted other opinions
