Insane.
First off, Marner ain’t coming here unless we offer him something stupid. Even then, probably not.
Aside from that, this whole mock comes off like we have no idea what we’re doing. Handing out a massive contract but then trading your 25 year scoring defensemen for futures.
I expect Darche will avoid big moves. I expect him to sell off some pieces for futures while building around the young pieces we already have in place. I think the mentality is going to be “if we compete next year, great. If not, we get one more top pick and draft our future 1C”
Get younger. Get faster. Rebuild the system and rebuild Bridgeport. Avoid getting locked into massive contracts. That should be the year one goal.
In a hypothetical scenario we sign Marner, I would trade Barzal over Dobson(to draft Hagens). Now in this scenario I would offer the Leafs Colorado's 2026 First to try get it done before the draft
a lot of people are commenting how this is unlikley but this is supposed to be unlikely its a dream scenario
Very good job Mitch. I like it. Made the team more fun, younger & building for the future. Especially like that you came around on D'Angelo & put your personal views aside.
Mitch, I don't like giving up on Dobson just yet. Can you imagine Dobson regaining his form and having 2 elite Offensive Dman on both sides (Left and Right). I don't like Hagens, if we are going to move Dobson, why don't we get McTavish from Ana. Or instead trade Dobson to trade and get Misa or Martone.
Also, I think Holmstrom only gets 3.5 for say around 4 years…
Don't want Boqvist as our everyday Defenseman. He should only be consider a #6 guy for us. Scheafer will NOT make the club next year.
Can Hagens just do what Fox did?
Dobson is an RFA. After a down year for him I dont think teams are gonna be willing to not only spend 8 or 9 million but also part with significant draft picks. If he gets an offer sheet above 4.6 million the offering team would need to compensate the Islanders a 1st and 3rd round draft picks. I dont think anybody goes in that heavy after a bad season so we just have to match the highest offer. If he's probably not getting an offer over 4.5 million I would want to hang on to him for at least another year or until the deadline. Why trade away an 8 or 9 million dollar talent that you can retain for 4.6 million. Then when he is a UFA next year were gonna have to pay him what he is worth
Also paying Marner 12 or 13 million is risky. If he continues to disappear in the playoffs we will never get to a cup final with our top talent going silent in the playoffs. That could cripple the franchise for nearly a decade. Sign a few one year deals for some serviceable guys for the year and next year hit the free agent market hard with almost 40 million to spend when the UFAs are Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, Patrick Laine, Cale Makar, Kyle Connor, Jason Robertson, Tyler Zegras ….. many more attractive free agent targets next year, don't rush the retooling by overpaying for Marner. Those 2025 lines look good but I'd rather a 2026 with Jack Eichel and Tyler Zegras while concentrating the money this year on an offer sheet for Gabe Vilardi from Winnepeg….. Barzal, Eichel, Vilardi on the top line with Horvat, Zegras, Tsypalkov rounding out your top 6. Ritchie, eiserman, Czikias, Duclair, Maclean, Gatcomb, Fasching, etc. Making up your 3's and 4's plus we would still have money to retain Dobson and Romanov if structured correctly, also to bring along Schaefer, because we shed Anders and Pageau, and we gotta find a way to get Mayfield and Engvall off the payroll. That's an additional 18.5 million to play with plus the cap goes up another 8 or 9 million for 2026. We really could set ourselves up to make major waves in next years free agency market and then the rebuild/retool is done within one year
I do not see how Duclair can come back to the Islanders. He bailed on the team when they needed him most because the coach called him out for his poor play. He had a temper tantrum and did not finish the season. How does he go into the locker room and face the other players now?
Dobson for a 4th overall pick is laughable. Who’s running Utah. Milbury??
Marner isn’t coming to the island. Just not Happening.
. Draft Misa.
Your not buying out Mayfield you buyout Engvall
This is looney tunes
The trade with utah is exactly what I was thinking if can pull off. Can draft our #1 d and then another young offensive guy… And not paying a ton of money Dobson to help rebuild
Get rid of engval
Thank God it's a dream. Marner and Barzal wouldn't work on a line together. Plus he wouldn't sign here. Stick to franchise mode cuz this is hilarious
The core is certainly there for Darche to execute a really good offseason here. If he pulls this off, he wins GM of the year haha. I just think we remove the idea of Marner to the Isles and the Isles take a similar approach to your plan. Very well done
Noah Dobson com’on it’s that Hagen’s derangement syndrome! I shut it off right then lol 😂 But it’s all for fun! Noah is still going to be a star, he just has to get stronger and meaner. He ain’t a kid anymore put the big boy pants on.
