Rumor swirling that teams are calling the NY Islanders on Brock Nelson.

Teams mentioned to be circling are the Vegas Golden Knights, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and NY Rangers.

They have Nelson as LW on the first line at practice. Is it possible he’s being showcased? Does Nelson, and the first get Brady Tkachuk?

Im sure he has NTC or NMC or something that he could say (frank) ooff to coming here. Also, I doubt the sens are ready to compete which is exactly what a Nelson move would signal so not really sure why they would make that trade. Timing

Find out what the ducks want for Zegas and put him along side Barzal and Horvat.

According to Cap friendly he does not have any trade protection. He is signed for 8.3 x 5, I think. He is a LW which we all know this team needs.

Nelson is a definite asset to any team. I guess the talk lately is shaking things up roster wise. Isles need a little revamp.

Edit : I like the idea that Roy moved him up to LW with Bo and Barzal

Pass, Zegras stinks. Don't need that TikTok Michigan horsepoop floating around this team.

Dhaliwal on Pettersson negotiations:

Canucks aren't getting any indication from Pettersson that he wants to be here long-term. There's frustration there. I have no intel he wants out.

Up until now I always thought EP would re-sign but I'm not so sure now.

@DonnieandDhali


Now THIS is a player I'd move another 1st and Nelson (and a lot more obviously) for

After the uncertainty of the bonus tax percentage, why would he want to sign in Vancouver. If they rule that tax loophole is no longer in play it’s going to crush the Canadian teams ability to sign players. Nylander just signed his whopper contract….he’d prob ask to be traded.

If players like Petterson or Tkachuk are available I think Lou has to inquire.

I don't think the Isles have the assets to make either happen, honestly. But I'd move literally almost anybody to get Pettersson here. Not holding my breath though.

Mayfield out again. I do wonder how much of an upgrade Aho is.

Btw, I have Fubo which carries MSG.

I have the NHL package with ESPN, but a few games get away....so I'll be watching the broadcast as relayed from some Lithuanian proxy or whatever.....
Aho is not an upgrade IMO. He's just a different kind of bad.
I don't get to a lot of games up there but watching Aho live definitely increased my reservations about him.

I think I posted a couple years ago after watching Aho play a few games that he was Hickey 2.0. He skates well, provides a little offense, but is simply too small for the NHL. He gets pushed around too often and too easily by the big opposing forwards, especially down low.

And Lithuania? That would be good. I think I've tuned into Iranian websites.

man that .ir site was so well put together, the nhlgames app from reddit was amazing for years, didn't have to torrent wins with other teams' broadcasts from the russians but they never cropped out the silence of commercial breaks which made it impossible to use for sleep
