Islanders trade for review

[JiriHrdina]

To NYI:
Kasperi Kapanen
Jeff Petry

To COL:
Travis Hamonic

[Inufie]

I have mixed emotions

[devo22]

bit of a borderline case for me to be honest. Not an amazing deal valuewise for the Isles, but also not a rip-off. Just a bit of "meh".

[TurdFerguson]

I'm not a Petry fan but if you were then I think the adder from the Avs makes up the value gap.

[MJK]

I have been trying to figure this one out but you know what, if I am going back and forth it has to be 'fair'.

[Knut]

It's not bad enough to reject, but not exactly great. I voted fair

[savardandjokinen]

fair, not amazing but definitely not "not fair"

[Hanna Sniper]

Voted no

I'm borderline with everyone else but for me borderline doesn't equal therefor fair.

..-.. | Fair | ..+..
33% | 33% | 33%
33% | 66%

Hope that makes sense

I have zero issues with this trade and it going through, I don't think it's a bad trade but I do see it as one that you regret looking back that we all made early on

But if Kapanen's his guy, I wouldn't argue as I don't have a great value (knowledge) on Kapanen and could be completely wrong... meaning if he's sold on him then I wouldn't disagree

[flamesfan6]

It's close, but I voted no because I think you can get better for Hamonic and I think this is one where you look back after and double think.

It's not bad, I think my sentiment lines up wit Hanna

[Caged Great]

This is slightly in the not good enough range that I voted no. Hamonic is just a little too good for a deal like this. I feel it's about a late 2nd or so off in terms of value, whether that's a prospect or a pick.

[3thirty]

This is a tough one, I'd go with fair as it isn't a rip off if you like Kapenen, but can see it from both sides.

[JonDuke]

Hamonic is better and younger. But Petry has an extra year in his contract, where Ham will probably get a raise this summer, even if signed for a single year. (but that's going with this years grids)
I know little about Kapanen, but a quick read says he's having a wicked start for the Marlies. Does that translate into a NHL career on a young NHL squad?

I think this is a very small piece from being ideal, but will still vote "fair" because I wouldn't be upset either way.

[Goffie]

I don't think it is an ideal return, I think it is pretty close but give a slight edge to the Av's. It is pretty close so I vote fair.

[SportsJunky]

For me, it's too close to overturn. I'm saving my vetos for the real lopsided deals. I say it's fair enough to allow.

[JiriHrdina]

Will close at midnight tomorrow night since it tracking to be a close one

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Went with no, I don't think Kapanen makes up for the difference between the two D

[simmer2]

The peanut gallery has this to say:

UFA contract and a reasonable prospect for a Top 2 Dman as an RFA contract...the adder should be a fair bit more IMO.

[dsavillian]

It's close, I just really hate UFAs

[MJK]

To be clear, Petry is not going to be a UFA this year, he has 2 years left on current deal. I think Simmer was referring to the type of contract he would need for the next one.

[JiriHrdina]

Trade has been rejected.
