Change of scenery could benefit both players and teams which makes this propsal somewhat plausible.

Except that the isles have two more productive lws in Moulson and Grabner.

Heck,Bailey has shown much more since being moved to the lw.

Isles don't need a lw as much as they need chippy,physical rws

Fair enough. I was only speaking in the context of the indvidual players and not the overall team objectives.

Nino likes to bang. Edmonton needs that in their top 6.

That doesn't justify giving up MPS for him. Just because Nino was drafted 5th overall, doesn't mean he can just come in and play in our top 6. MPS has shown miles more than Nino, and we're not giving up on him just because of a slump this season.
