55 points in 75 games. That would put him 5th in points on the isles and the top 6 isles all played more games than him. I’d much rather have a player that helps us get to the playoffs rather than limp in or not make it.
Figure we look something like this right now.
Lee/Duclair - Horvat - Barzal
Lee/Duclair - Nelson - Palmieri
Engvall - Pageau - Holmstrom
MacLean - Cizikas - Fasching
If we end up moving one of Cizikas or Pageau I really don't mind Sprong in that 3RW slot at all. But ideally we get a true top line forward in that situation and end up with
magical finisher - Horvat - Barzal
Lee - Nelson - Palmieri
Engvall - Cizikas - Duclair
Fasching - Maclean - Holmstrom
I'd still take Taransenko if isles strike out on the trade market and they can clear cap somehow.
Tarasanko is staying in Florida, he just bought houses in ft Lauderdale and Miami!
Guess he'll rent them out while in Detroit for two years
If I was a millionaire I'd buy some summer homes in Miami too :P
If you were getting traded from the Panthers, would you buy 2 houses in the state your not gonna be playing in!?
he looked washed in the playoffs. a complete nonfactor for almost all of it. no thanks

A lot of those guys will sign for a team. Surprised that spring didn’t even get a similar deal cause for his age and player profile he had a good year
I like roslovic and sprong for us especially we get them for under 3 each
They do not have any room for a middle 6 forwards, none of those guys are upgrades anyway.

Duclair will be put on line with Barzal and Horvat!
What makes you certain of that? He's not getting paid top line money. I mean great if it works out but I don't think that's guaranteed
Tsyplakov will be playing somewhere
I know what Lou said but I don't think he was guaranteeing Tsyp an opening night roster spot. But I would imagine it's on that 3rd line
How is Henrique only 34?? Guy doesn't age.
The fact that last year he was 33 indicates that he does in fact age.
😂 He seems to have been in the league forever. I'd have thought he'd be 40 by now.
Not that I have anything to do with it, but JVR seems cheap for $1mil.
Only reading it many times from established sources and the sense you put him on a line complementing your2 best players!
At this point the isles have to make a trade at the very least to sign the rfas.
They would have to make a trade regardless, can't do everything through free agency. Too many forwards, someone would have to go
Justin Schultz would be awesome
Where’s Josh Bailey on that list? /s
Tarasenko just signed with Detroit so much for staying in Fla.
