[Gross] Bailey not sure of future with Isles. Wants to play next season. Doesn’t want to sit on the bench.

Bailey has no trade protection and 1 year remaining at 5m
Sorry Josh you can go to Arizona and play there.
As I said, in another post, who is going to be the scapegoat once he’s gone?
Bailey + 2nd for FC to a cap floor team
Saw rumors he was playing injured. Imo with one year left and our limited assets from all of Lou’s trades, he should be our 12th/13th forward
Its sad baileys long tenure here is coming to a close this way, but to me thats ownerships fault for not relocating him years ago..the guys cooked and when sat said he “thought he wasnt playing that bad”. He doesnt even realize he is cooked. Theres no room on the top 4 lines left for a withering bailey…he had a nice run and should either request trade or accept a more limited role
Nashville! Trotz will know what to do.
Is there no spot behind the bench, in the locker room, front office, something?
If he can embrace the role, I’d rather see him on the 4th line than Clutterbuck. It would obviously be a different look, but I think there needs to be changes on the 4th line. Clutter’s body is breaking down quickly (not surprising given the game he plays) and even when he is healthy enough to play he is not the same player he was. Josh can kill penalties as well and I think could be a good fit there at this stage in his career.
So… Bailey to the Yotes?
Let him go please
