Maybe if Wang was GM too!
- but really, that's a really low ball offer, truly unrealistic. Streit's a talented offensive d-man, wasn't he kicking in 60+ point seasons?
He's on a team friendly contract for 2 more seasons.
With the isles front office,coaches and players saying they think they can compete for a playoff spot as early as next season,the isles don't want to trade their best defenseman.
streit should not be traded and he should lead the isles into the playoffs next year, i really cant wait to see hamonic and streit on the pp together setting each other up for 1 timers from the point
if streit was healthy this season the isles make the play offs, and having jurcina as just a throw in, hes been an unsung hero for the isles, it can actually be argued that if he stayed healthy all season the isles would make the play offs if u compare their record with him playing to their record without him playing
Fantasy trades like the one proposed by the OP,are best kept on the OP's team board.That way,there will be a least one blind homer who agrees "yeah,that's totally fair"
Isles just put Schremp on waivers because they have a logjam in the top 6 and the smallish Schremp wsn't gritty enough for the bottom 6.Do Oiler fans really believe the isles want little Brule over Moulson,Tavares,PA,Grabner,Neilsen or KO in their top 6?
Or that the Isles would consider Gilbert to be an upgrade over Streit?
So not a single thing you said addressed my post, did you quote the wrong one?
Isles would have zero interest,in a small pp/shootout specialist like Omark.They just dumped Schremp.And Gilbert is a clear downgrade from Streit.
I agree that the Isles won't do this, but Omark and Schremp don't play anything alike. Omark is a very good skater, and is very strong on the puck despite his size. He also draws a ton of penalties.

No I didn't quote the wrong post.
You mocked Hyedray's comment about the Oilers 1st having to be in a Streit deal,by suggesting Tavares be in the deal.
My suggestion is that fantasy trades are best left on a poster's team board.There's usually at least one other homer who thinks the trade is 'doable or 'really fair'.

OMark is not pushing Moulson,Tavares,Parentua(sp),Grabner,Neilsen or Okposo out of the top 6.He's not pushing Comeau,Bailey or Martin off the 3rd line.
Add in Nino is expected to challenge for a roster spot next training camp and you can see why the Isles would not be in the mix for OMark.
If he was on the isles,he'd be a pp/shootout specialist like Schremp was.

Im still waiting for the quote where I said its doable or fair. Someone said start with Hall+.
I said pretending Tavares is not an islanders is Streit worth Tavares+ or was that poster being stupid (which he was).
You then went off on some tangent about bad trades when I still have not commented on the OP's trade

I'll re-quote your post for you. Again where does this relate to anything I said in the thread?
I guess I've missed the part where they made HF's Trade Board into reality instead of just fantasy.
As I said,fantasy proposals where a poster's favorite team, lands a quality player for spare parts,is best kept on the poster's favorite board.Less mocking and more comments about how fair or doable such a trade would be
The isles could use a quality,top pairing d-man.One in his prime and on a team friendly contract.
It'll stink to lose Nielsen,but if the cost is basically Nielsen,Eaton and Haley for a top pairing d-man..I'm guessing Snow jumps at that fair and doable deal
