Islanders Sign Mikhail Grabovski & Nikolai Kulemin

[Cobiemonster]

They actually made a good move

Hey, there's some help for Tavares and Okposo...

Islanders have gotten Jaroslav Halak, Chad Johnson, Cory Conacher and now Nikolai Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski - this might help them get into the playoffs - I think their defense will need to step up though

I will support any moves that makes it easier for the Flames to earn the pole position for the 2015 draft lottery...

Wow, I was thinking Volchenkov would be a solid pickup for the Islanders but didn't mention him because I didn't think they were spending. Might as well right him ink him while the checkbook is open.

Both solid moves.

Visnovsky playing more than 24 games will make a big difference there

wow they made hockey moves

They have Calvin de Haan, Thomas Hickey, Travis Hamonic, Lubo, Brian Strait and then Griffin Reinhart should be making his debut, so I'm not sure if there's much room for A-Train

Real ones. That didn't involve the ghost of Tim Thomas.

Pens have Paul Martin and Rob Scuderi... they could help the defense.

Isn't Jack Capuano the current longest serving coach in the Metrosexual division? They're doing something right on the island.

Don't hate on our swagger.

I hope Squidy lights it up for the Devils, I'm gonna miss that little guy...

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Honestly, I like both moves made.

lol at Roenick

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Used to like Roenick but he's become more and more of a negtive douche. He seems bitter about something (never winning? no longer being able to play?).

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Hey JR the Isles have to overpay guys if they're going to sign them. These signings are so much better than last years Paul Marc Bouchard & Peter Regin it's not even close. Johnson is the backup goalie & they added Cory Conacher to. I hope the two European goalies they drafted develop. It would be great to finally have some depth in goal.

Did he have fuck all to say about Bolland? Cause he hasn't seen the happy side of 40 points since 08-09. Oh shit that's right, he's North American so everything's cool.

Now all the Isles need is a guy like Jared Boll to protect them.

No, no roster player thanks. A pick is fine.
