Hearing Jacob Trouba will be traded to the Detroit Red Wings later today
The Rangers will retain around 30-35% in cap as well, but this clears 5.5-6AAV to do other things in the FA window

#LGRW
Marner Update:
Hearing that the front runners to land Marner are
#VegasBorn
and that a package would consist of Thompson, Theodore, and a 2nd
Talks are on going but it sounds like
#LeafsForever
and
#VegasBorn
are coming close to a deal
Mcgroarty and Ehlers are believed to be a package deal and it is believed that a deal will be made ON the draft floor this coming Friday
#GoJetsGo
Teams believed to be involved as potential suitors:
#Isles
#Blackhawks
#Preds
Tampa Bay Lightning officially sign Jake Guentzel to a 7 year contract after trading for his rights this morning
AAV believed to be around 9.25 but still not officially announced yet
#GoBolts
So accidental. Pelech wasn’t even looking at him, and he is one of the cleanest defensemen in the league today. Not sure why people are calling this dirty and intentional
#Isles
#NYR
Carolina Hurricanes will be announcing shortly the re-signing of Jake Guentzel, 8x8AAV
The Canes get their trade deadline acquisition back on a long term contract
#CauseChaos
#CauseChaos
and
#Isles
have picked up trade talks, respectively, with
#GoJetsGo
regarding Ehlers
With no deal being confirmed for Necas or Jarvis, one has to wonder if that is a piece being discussed
Does Pageau fit the package that the Jets desire? I do not think so
Whether today or sometime after, expect a trade coming from the Islanders as they have 1.06 in space BEFORE signing RFA. Anticipate they are -3M after Wally, Holmstrom, Aho sign
Must make a trade to get cap compliant….hockey trades?
#Isles
Islanders and Anthony Duclair involved in talks currently. We will see what happens
@stefen_rosner
also reports there are rumblings on this as well
Sounds like it could be a 3 year deal
#Isles
Thinking about this hurts, but this could be the last game in an
#Isles
sweater for:
Brock Nelson
Matt Martin (OUT tonight)
Cal Clutterbuck
Anders Lee
Do the Islanders bring it back to UBS for a game 6?
Nothing official but hearing Matt Martin will be retiring this offseason
1/3 if
#Isles
identity line will be hanging it up
Does Cal Clutterbuck return?
Metro teams to not show up in big games today:
#ALLCAPS
(lost 5-2)
#NJDevils
(lost 5-1)
#LetsGoPens
(currently down 3-0)
#Isles
have opportunity Tuesday at home vs

#LetsGoFlyers

BIG NEWS PT2:
-
#Isles
have made contact with
#GoSensGo
in regards to Tarasenko as a trade and extension. A deal involving J.G. Pageau, Oliver Wahlstrom and a 2nd have peaked the interests of both sides
-
#TexasHockey
get their guy on the backend as they prepare for a cup run
Islanders Draft Outlook:
I have gotten A LOT of dm’s regarding the Islanders tonight. My final thoughts… If Lou doesn’t move the 20th pick, means something fell through and in my opinion is a DISASTER.
Should be interesting
#Isles
#Isles
Scott Mayfield hasn’t resumed skating yet
Wouldn’t shock me if they threw him on LTIR till end of regular season to create 3.75 in cap space. Would give the Islanders a lot to work with at deadline
GUENTZEL UPDATE:
Hearing
#NYR
official offer is:
1st round pick, Kaapo Kakko, Brennan Othmann, MAYBE a conditional pick
#LetsGoPens
would retain Guentzel at 50%
Should the Penguins accept this trade?
Ehlers+Mcgroarty Update:
The
#GoJetsGo
have seemingly gone quiet the past 24 hours on both of these players that will be dealt by/on draft day
However a new team has entered the mix for Mcgroarty, the Devils
#Preds
#Isles
#Blackhawks
#NJDevils
top teams in the mix right now
VIA Elliotte Friedman:
Juuse Saros to sign an 8x7.25 million AAV extension with the Predators
A STEAL for the Predators as their franchise goalie takes a discount to stay
#Preds
Panthers getting 2 massive pending free agents locked up on team friendly deals
Carter Verhaeghe 8x8AAV (done)
Sam Reinhart 8x9.5AAV (pending)
#TimeToHunt
Hearing the Islanders and Canadiens and Blackhawks have all checked in on Shane Pinto and the asking price
Pinto has not requested a trade yet but the assumption is he will soon
#Isles
#Blackhawks
#GoHabsGo
Hearing Jake Guentzel and the Hurricanes are getting close to an extension that would keep Guentzel in Carolina for 8 years, money TBD
This is hoped to be done by the draft tomorrow night
#CauseChaos
Marner Update:

Who do the Islanders make a push for?

#Isles
GUENTZEL UPDATE:
Sounds like
#LetsGoPens
Jake Guentzel will be dealt to
#CauseChaos
The package will include a 1st and Michael Bunting along with other pieces
Barzal and Horvat back together for literally 1 shift and they score. Maybe they should stay together? Maybe they should never have been split
#Isles
2-1

fans how do you feel about this?
Lou Lamoriello says Doug Houda will NOT return as an Islanders assistant next season and says his replacement will be announced Monday
Lou also stats Wahlstrom will be among qualifying offers for RFA but that if there’s a chance to move him that they will look into it
#Isles
PLAYER UPDATE:
#Isles
#VegasBorn
#CauseChaos
amongst teams that have contacted
#stlblues
in regards to F Pavel Buchnevich
Blues are willing to retain 50% in order to drive his price up
Anders Lee has found his role in the bottom 6, and this is exactly what the
#Isles
needed
A strong, sound, reliable bottom 6 is what they needed and if recent it looks like they found that
