Well you can tell it is August as the the ridiculous articles keep coming. I read two articles that had Isles sending Dobson to Vancouver as part of a deal for JT Miller.

I am all for getting Miller but not with Dobson as part of the trade. Makes absolute no sense. It is almost as nutty as Leaf trade proposals.

Best part of that rumor is it’s Dobson, a first, and a prospect.

He’s just making up names now.

Your right it’s August the news is slow and mostly speculation.

Nothing really new on Kadri or Dobson.

I would part with a 1st, anything beyond that would be conditional. Unless the Canucks allow a contract extension be negotiate prior to deal. Dobson would not be part of this deal in any way shape or form.

No he will not. Any sane person knows that. If Lameriello traded Dobson let alone with a + at the end of it there wouldn’t be anyone alive who wouldn’t be calling for his head. Well he may still have one fan…

I have to give you props on that one.

Dobson has been trending for days on Twitter because of Canucks fans thinking they were getting him 🤦‍♂️

So what is consensus if the isles lose out on Kadri?

In my mind, they'd be dodging a bullet.

From some scouting guy on Twitter not sure how reliable

Just got off the phone with a guy that knows & I think that Nazem Kadri is done to @NYIslanders They have to clear out some cap room & then it’ll be announced. I’m FAR from an Insider but I’m very confident that it’s done. Great signing by NYI & Nazem Kadri deserves every penny.

I assume it’s some beat writer who started this that likes Dobson. That’s pretty much the norm for any “rumor” that’s always based on nothing coming out of Vancouver.

Not sure who this dude is but I pretty much agree with it for better or worse.

For sure. I'm terrified of another Ladd situation.

Me too. Hoping for the best. Lameriello had some good and bad contracts over the years. I like Kadri but I like him at three years at no more then 18 million. This just popped up right on cue;

I don’t like the “deserves every penny” part

@NYIslanders Have signed Nazem Kadri to a 7 year 63 million dollar contract.

In my mind, they'd be dodging a bullet.

Agreed.

I agree Vukota. Many of these contracts turn out bad. It's really tough when the Isles miss out on top players like JG. Most of these UFA's you do not mind missing out on though.

I wonder why it’s taking Lameriello so long to move cap space? I thought he only had to snap his fingers and poof Bailey would be gone?

It's very shocking. It's August already and cap space has not be cleared.
