Have a friend who works for the Islanders and he said there was a deal on the table.........

Boychuck , Cullterbuck and a 2nd rd pick to Detroit
Islanders would get.......
Glendenning and a 4th rd pick.

I don't know if the deal fell through but that is what l was told.

I have a hard time believing DET would take just a 2nd round pick for $9.5M in cap space for the next two years, especially when that's half of what they have open right now and still need to re-sign Mantha/Bertuzzi, and $13M in actual money.

But hey if it happens I'd probably shoot one in my pants.

I'd have to think that maybe we'd be including both 2nd round picks that we just got if that deal were to have any chance of happening.

I don't think trade is happening either or maybe there still working on some sort of deal , just what l heard was on the table . I agree Wings would want 2 2nd rd picks to take on salary.

Yeah if all that was actually true, seems like the sticking point probably would have been the lack of compensation on the Isles end to take all that money off the books.

lol Playing with the wankers on here is fun. I'm new to hockey and didn't know Barzal didn't qualify for arb. So what? Normal people, who are secure, would have simply pointed that out. But this place has a group of wankers that will jump at any opportunity to show their superiority and wank endlessly. It's fun to feed their need to be superior to some unknow on the internet. Pathetic. This is the crowd who never have an original thought and simply parrot what they hear on TV or read on the net. When they get it wrong, they were just joking or being sarcastic. Gotta' protect the false image at any cost.

Think I have it all wrong? Just think about this. Captn and Rity insist that nobody should engage me, yet they engaged because they couldn't pass up the opportunity to feel superior. I know those 2 read EVERYTHING I post.

God, I love this place.

I would think any team taking Boychuk would also want a desirable player to be part of the deal. That's why bundling Toews with JB was an option, but it seems like Lou unloaded Toews as quickly as he could. Another option would be working a deal with a team that's below or near the floor and willing to take part of BC's salary/bonus, right?

Pagnotta from the 4th period had Boychuk on his trade list for a week or so now and also added Komarov on the list yesterday. Fingers facking crossed 😂

As much as I think it would be smart to start saving some picks instead of trading them all over the place...if we could use one of each of the two picks we just got to dump Boychuk and/or Komarov/Clutterbuck I'd be thrilled. Clearing $9M+ in cap space would be massive.

edit: I still can't find the Komarov thing from him. Not on twitter or on his website...where did you see that?

The 4th period trade watch list they tweeted yesterday had Komarov on it as well as JB. I don’t know how to copy and paste it from my phone lol

lol Right on cue.

How do I know this was option for Lou to try? Islanders owned their rights, that's why.

I bet you were misreading again. I think your feeble mind read that as "Lou had the option to make such a trade and didn't"

you misread a little casual sports talk and you jump on Rocinante and come charging in. What a puckin idiot you are

Yeah I dug around a little and found it. Reads to me like he's just saying that they'd like to move him, not necessarily that anything concrete is in the works.

Of course not and probably won’t happen just found it interesting that he was in there since he wasn’t on any of the previous ones

Modified NTC. Going to be tough besides him most likely not wanting to go on top of it...

He only has a 7 team no-trade list, so it's not entirely prohibitive but my guess is that if they were to ask him for that list he's probably putting the 7 teams with the least cap space on there
