Let me know your thoughts on this trade
Package another deal to move up more in the 1st round?
Blackhawks probably are aiming for a specific draft pick and are hedging their bet.
Isles should be smatter
Trade next year's "first," for a top five pick in this year's draft; and trade a second-round pick. We would then have the 2nd and 3rd picks, and the 18th pick in this year's draft. Just dreaming.
Islander's fans think this is to get more currency to trade away contracts to get more cap space.
Hawks will have #2,18,34,50. It's ok with me.
The old man with draft picks is like a kid when they get their allowance…it burns a hole in his pocket. He will never make it to the table with these picks..their as good as gone!
Ehhh we have a lot of draft picks. I'm OK with it
Either way Islanders are winners and if Chicago get their guys they both win . It could be either team could use those picks to go bigger still. I like it. Chicago has a lot of picks so it doesn't hurt
Saying "the Islanders win this trade hands down" is a bit premature, wouldn't you agree?
And immediately giving credit to Lamorello is just ignorant, you said yourself it was almost unheard of, when has Lou ever done anything like this before? While Davidson has been doing out of the box things since day one.
You didn't even mention his name.
LOVE THIS TRADE! The team that gets the highest draft pick wins the trade. That easy.
Immediately think that Chicago may be trying to inch there way up as trading up from 20 to around the top 10 might not be possible so instead make 1-3 small trades to move up.
Islanders need more premium picks to either trade for an NHL player, improve their weak prospects pool or move that 2nd rounder with to move pagueas contract. As they only have like 5 Mil in cap space.
The only way i can see the islanders losing this trade is if the players they draft all end up as busts 5 years later or more, or if the islanders package those pics as a sweetener and end up getting a player that doesnt work out for whatever reasons including injuries. Those count also.
Both teams could lose if chicago also drafts poorly or brings in a player as well.
Or both teams can win. With 1 team being the bigger winner. The point is its wayyyyy too early to say who won this damn trade
I can see Chicago thinking one of the more “premier” D prospects (dicksonson, buium, silayev, Yakemchuk, Parekh, Levshunov) could fall and we know for the most part who probably won’t but if Chicago takes Demidov at 2, they have to be either hoping for a free falling D man that should be higher or possibly a Eiserman/Catton drop to 18. Moving 2 spots isn’t huge but Benson fell to 13 last year and most people thought he was almost a guarantee in the top10.
