dlbalr Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 From a more reputable source on Galchenyuk and the Islanders: Quote The Isles have also been in talks with the Canadiens regarding forward Alex Galchenyuk. All three of those teams are searching for defensemen and the Islanders are believed willing to surrender Travis Hamonic to upgrade their offense. http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/islanders-have-deal-with-vegas-to-steer-golden-knights-in-expansion-draft-sources-say-1.13748697 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really see him being the right fit as the key piece of a Galchenyuk trade with Weber/Petry already on that side plus Juulsen in the system.

illWill Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Perhaps loading up on LW and RD is the new key to success and we just don't know it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just named 4 players that are predominately LW and Pacioretty is a staple as a first line LW, so take your pick who else will play behind him. You also didn't mention Radulov, Gallagher and Shaw who are RW, so we are running out of spots for wingers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Galchenyuk is more effective as a RW than a LW actually. So is Byron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're proposing putting Galchenyuk and Byron on RW because they are more effective there? Doesn't leave much room for Gallagher, Radulov or Shaw on the right side. How about rather than scouring the internet for stats, you can just tell me where everyone slots in the lineup at the current configuration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Pacioretty-Drouin-Radulov Lehkonen-Galchenyuk-Gallagher Byron-Danault-Shaw Martinsen/Hudon-Mitchell-McCaron Markov-Weber Emelin-Petry Jerabek-Benn Price Montoya I'm thinking no Plekanec means one new defenseman as well so this is just with what we have today.

TheDriveFor25 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'd trade Gally for Beauvillier and Leddy. Then I'd work like hell to sign big Joe. Pacs - Thornton - Raddy Lehk - Drouin - Gallagher Beau - Dandy - Byron Martinsen - McCaron - Shaw Mitchell, Hudon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radulov is yet to be re-signed and Shaw can play anywhere except effectively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel comfortable entering the season "trying" Drouin at center to see if it works. It would be great if he was able to succeed there, but if he doesn't we are looking at another season of #1 center Danault. And if Plekanec gets selected by Vegas and Galchenyuk gets traded for anything but a center, this team is in a whole lot of trouble down the middle.

I personally can't wait to see him finally fix all of those problems that have existed since 2013. If he can't do it this summer, there will always be next summer!
