Ben Shelley: Brock Nelson has been the Islanders' biggest surprise

Nice job Ben,

I will agree Nelson has been one of this years biggest surprises, however you should have included Beau as well. The thing is the chemistry those 2 have found together this year has really helped both of them take the next step and really help this team.

1st and Aho for Pageau 2nd(add a prospect if need be) for Toffoli. Done

Toffoli first line player? No. Third line with Pageau yes.

Let it go, let it go, captain just let it go

Agreed Ben.

What’s more, he’s living up to his new contract which I originally thought of as a bit rich. Now it looks like solid market value, especially when he’s compared to players like Hayes and Stastny.

Nothing just the taffoli and pageau to the 3rd line. I'd be happy and suprised if we got one

Gotcha, adding one of those players would be big but I would prefer Pageau only because he's a center and gettin Brassard back on the wing with Nelson and Beau would be great.

That seems high for Pageau given Hall's rental price. If Pageau was signed, maybe a different story.

Shat trading?

Maybe

If they give up Aho and a 1st for Pageau when they could've had Hall for a 1st and a bucket full of C-level prospects then I'd be pretty upset

I would say mostly yes to that

I’d give the Sens Bellows and a conditional 3rd for Pageau. 3rd becomes a 1st if he signs with the Islanders.

I know getting two players is a pipe dream we’ll be lucky if get one decent one.

That right there is a pretty formidable line up.

Not a center, but Connor Sheary could be a useful, cheap pickup too...assuming Buffalo does what Buffalo sports teams typically do

I was shooting high but I have a feeling he’ll go for a first.
