If Leddy is dealt, then you are losing someone else for nothing in the expansion draft. So if you are trading Leddy it better be a trade that can make up for losing 2 pieces of the current roster.
I'm thinking Lou wants to lose no one, if possible from this current roster's core let alone 2. Having Seattle take Ladd by throwing a sweetener like maybe Bellows and a pick their way is probably the best way to reduce our salary, keep the current roster together and not lose anyone significant to the teams success in the expansion draft. Just my opinion off course which is typically wrong.

Unless he trades Leddy AND a forward.

Yes.

Islanders protect mayfield Pelech and pulock. AHO will be left unprotected

Never know but I’m thinking he wants to keep this group intact as far as the regulars for another run at it. Sometimes it’s harder keeping a team together during the cap years.
Going to be interesting how they deal with the cap and the signings this off season. Gotta think Lou and Pelligrini have a plan. They’re earning their money this off season that’s for sure.

Reinhart deal is the worse of the two for sure.

But yeah. What in the literal (frank) is Holland thinking?

Very strange trade for the Oilers and very much like a Chia trade.

Maybe Duncan will be good in the room for the Oilers but he is 38 and that's too high a price.
