And he can decline trades to 16 teams

What has he done in the league to earn a NTC?

Oh I’m sure someone out there could be persuaded.

Persuading Engvall is a whole other thing.

For a second? That’s a tough sell for six years of that dude. Thats a lot of money and he (frank)ing sucks.

Not for just a 2nd, no.

Wait… do the Islanders now have three 2nds in 2024, or just two?

Sign a seven year deal.

I don’t know and I’m not looking it up. 😆

Either way I think if we continue to trade assets to get rid of contracts we don’t want it probably wouldn’t be a good idea. There has to be a time when the guy signing these contracts has to take a bit of heat.

I shared that mostly cuz it listed the Islanders picks for draft

The have just two... they trade their 2nd with the 1st as part of this deal.

Don't see the upside here for the Blackhawks, especially in a supposedly weak draft. Maybe it's reparations for the Bailey trade? We did send them a 2nd to take him off our hands.

Obviously the Hawks have a pick they want and to make sure it’s there they gave up a 2nd to make sure they get him.
For the Isles the 1st round movement means nothing so they gain an asset.
Dare I say good move Lou?

To move up 2 spots a month before the draft? How do they know their guy wouldn't be there at 20 at this point? I'm not saying it's a bad move by Lou. I just don't see the upside for Chicago.
Edit: They still have two second rounders (to go along with 2 firsts) after this trade so I guess they figured it was worth it. The Bailey trade was him and a second for future considerations. Maybe this is them.

Have to say I was completely wrong about the Rangers. Thought the cats would be in the drivers seat. That trouba elbow directly to Rodrigues head should warrant a suspension. But because it’s the Rangers, likely won’t.
