The Chicago Blackhawks are linked to this forward
It seems that Lou Lamiorello is ready for some changes on his team, particularly with the aging group of veterans. The New York Islanders may be taking an unexpected step by trading away one of their veteran players, Josh Bailey.
It appears that his current cap hit is too high for the team's budget at the moment. If Bailey were to join the Blackhawks, it would require a sweetener since it would mainly be a cap dump.
However, it's important not to underestimate Bailey's value as he could bring in another experienced voice to the team, along with the necessary assets for Davidson to sign him.
Despite his declining production, Bailey has valuable playoff experience and could serve as a great mentor. The team will need to take on additional contracts to meet the cap floor, while also acquiring assets.
Bailey's cap hit of $3.5 Million will need to be factored into these decisions.
It's time to take advantage of Lou's hubris.
