I mean it took a 2nd round pick just to pry a 37yo Andy Greene away from the Devils. I have to imagine it's a 1st+ to get Palmieri out of there.

Well I dunno about you guys, but I’m not too keen on dishing 1sts for a rental in a shortened season. That’s just me though.

I'm not either but I think that'll be his cost. Especially to trade him in-division

Maybe a 2nd and a prospect (Bellows)? I agree a 1st seems high.

Palmieri would be nice but giving up another #1 would be real tough.

This draft this year is not good at all and we are challenging for the presidents trophy how good a pic will it be. If the islanders win the cup I don't think anyone would be upset about giving up a first to NJ

This is true.

Personally, I’d rather throw a 1st (+) at Anaheim for Rakell. Dude is a shoot first winger with another year left @ 3.7 mill. Ducks have already let it be known that he’s available.

I didn't read back but Lee out long term but back for playoffs and an addition could put them over the top

This is true.

Will devils trade with us is the question.

It's a top spot because the Isles are contending. It's easier to give up picks though if the Isles had more Cap room and were able to sign quality UFA's. I would probably give up the pick at the end the of day.

It certainly would. But they could always shoot for 2022 1st maybe.

That said -- the Islanders are (frank)ing rolling right now. It may be worth paying up a little to stack the lineup for the playoffs and really give them a legit chance to contend.

I have to agree. It's clear the Isles are not rebuilding and are going for it with Lou and Barry. Hall seems to have a lot of baggage and Palmieri seems like a real good fit. How are his numbers against Boston and Tampa?

What I'm afraid of is that Lee is really hurt bad, not unlike what happened to Jake McCabe a week or two ago. Really hoping he doesn't have a torn up knee with a 6+ month rehab

I’m going sprained MCL 4-6 weeks. Might be 8 weeks if they put him on LTIR. Or his knee is completely shredded 😂😢

He’s going to be out for a while. That looked like something that’s at least the season most likely the season + playoffs. I think we all know that
