Was going to ask the Ducks fans what they thought of the Wizzer but I think I'd got the answer. I was quite pleased seeing this deal go down. Thought it was an issue of salary dump or fear of not being able to resign him.

been an awfully long time since that rumor came out with no confirmation of it or that it has been signed. hmmmm

could be and that would be much more in line with his value than the Isles 10 mill for 10 yrs. Almost surprised the Devs would go that high on a player, but these are interesting times

lol that is a good one. NJDevs... Hamonic and deHaan were Canada's best defensemen in that tourney until a cheap shot caused the shoulder injury. I don't know wtf you were talking about. The Devs always find guys who fit their system and play well for them. They always find those guys...

can;'t argue that

9 straight 50 goal seasons...Mike Bossy will never be tied let alone broken. 19 striaght playoff series wins 1980-1984 New York Islanders. No one will probably ever reach 11.

No thanks. Don't want him at 2.7 million

And you used the word ignorace while displaying exactly that in your post. Hamonic and deHaan were the best dmen Canada had until Hamonic was injured on a dirty blindside hit. But keep up with the ignorance. I have no doubt that the Devils will be a playoff team in 5 years because no matter...

i think you missed my point. I was saying you just have to make the playoffs and you are a contender. That's why I brought up the Flyers. Same deal with Edmonton when they lost to Carolina.

Not terribly. I don't think he's the problem child others seem to claim. I think Kovy will play hard, unlike Yashin, once he gets the money. Now, the number of years might be a problem. A 7 yr deal might be better, but the Isles have to overpay and over year to get a top guy. Not all the...

HEY HEY HEY. While I'm not going to get into the Yashin issue, I don't see this as the same. Kovy is a scorer and comes to play. Yashin took nights off in Ottawa and never really was a goal scorer. I don't see Kovy in the same mold as Yashin, nor do I see this deal. Think about...

you don't have to go from 13th to 1st to be a contender. You have to get to 8th or 7th...or did the Flyers fans forget that already? ;)

Is this coming from a fan of a team that has no goalie to take over from marty in 3 seasons and a defense that has been weakening as marty has aged? ;) Nothing against the Devils, but as I listed above, the Isles have ALOT of young talent coming up the pipeline. They are in a position to be...

no need to worry. they will both be rfa's, not ufa's so the Kings don't have to worry. They can let them dangle for picks if some moron decides to go offer sheet on them or they can decide to do the 1 yr deal where they become a ufa after it. The Kings aren't losing Johnson or Dougty unless...

but there is no word on whether he will be released from the final year of his KHL deal. Actually, he might have 2 years left on that deal. Who knows with the KHL. Word was Snow got the khl to allow him to come to prospect camp during the wjc. I'm still not sure how it worked out, but...

Wrong? No. But it doesn't mean we won't worry about you nonetheless :D:eek:

Originally, I was frustrated the Isles passed on Gormley and Fowler at the five pick, but taking Nino makes sense. They want size & skill to go with Tavares and they got that with the pick. Still, the Isles could have had defensive prospects of DeHaan, Hamonic, Donovan, and Fowler or Gormley...

Islanders Need: Power forwards who can take pressure off of players like Tavares & Josh Bailey. A legitimate second line To get rid of Franz Nielsen whom the org keeps touting as a second line center but he's maybe a 4th line center on a good team. Large stay at home Dman who can play...

How can you say he didn't adjust? He juggled the offensive lineup sitting Fleshmen for one. When you get 40+ and 50+ shots on net in the last two games, it isn't because you aren't shooting or getting good shots. What would have had him do differently? The truth of the matter is the Caps...

I understand your point about Gill as an individual, but he and Scuds together were easily the best D pairing they've had since their 90's cup runs. Losing Scuderi was a blow to their d because they don't have a defensive dman who's better right now and I don't think they have a legit top...

The Caps can't get equal value for Green because they'd have to get a forward who doesn't backcheck but scores and gets overpaid at 6 mill per the next few seasons. The Caps can definitely have addition by subtraction and they can do that by starting with two moves... Dump Semin Dump Green...

If you want to go see what the Spec was like, go to Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. It is a dump now, but the seats are all very close and great sightlines. I'll be glad when the isles finally get something done with the local pols and get a new or refurbished arena. It is a dump. So was...

Why not. There has to be 1 or 2 nhl players he hasn't had a chance to berrate yet. Come one. This will be just one more lockerroom that can tune him out by Thanksgiving.:D

Not looking to cause trouble with the Pitt fans. I thought it was a good article and it is typical of the difference between nhl players and players from other sports. Typically, the nhler is far more humble than the nfler or nba player. But what I did find a little self serving in the...
