But if you move JGP, then who would be your 3C?
- JohnScammo


Nobody likes my idea of moving Casey to 3C. I think it's more important to get that top 6 wing.

Have to think a #1. If you add DeBrincat maybe you move Bo with Nelson and you have a good top 6.
- ses111

Why? It would be Barzal, Horvat, Nelson, and cizikas as our centers I would presume.

Yeah count me among those people.

He’s a 4th line center.

Agreed. It's been poor for way too long.

Who plays 3C among this group? Barzal, Horvat, and Nelson are too good for 3C.

I just like the idea of the Islanders loading up the top 6 with skill for once. Let's see if the Islanders have the problem with figuring out the lineup because they added a scoring wing.

I like Barzal on the wing. Doesn't have to play as much D .

Let's wait for a trade to happen before we work on the lineup.

Welp. He said he wanted to keep the band together...
Didn't think we'd have to watch the same guys for the next decade but here we are.

Please, please, please go and make a move now with whatever you have to either get a top line winger (Debrinkat) or a PMD, (Hanifin)

Engvall seven years? Can’t wait to see what aav is. Mayfield at seven is crazy also but you had to know it was going to happen which is why I was against resigning him. Well we will see what they’re getting paid. I have a feeling there wouldn’t be much for a player like Debrincat but who knows maybe these guys got a lower aav for more term.

Let's do the math. At least one 2 minute penalty per game, 82 games in the season, times 7 years - that's 1,148+ penalty minutes we can expect. I wonder what that will cost per penalty minute.

My honest thought is you trade a JGP, Wahlstrom + for a Hanifin or Debrincat and then you try and sign a cheaper 3 line C or a 4th line C and move Cizikas up and down.
Hell, Jonathan Toews would be a great 3rd line C if he came on a short, cheap deal. We're not the NYR though and aren't allowed team friendly deals
