Yeah baby. Stromer put on some lbs. Prediction; strome scores opening night
- kindlyrick

That would be sweet if he's gonna be the second line center

MM - JT - BB
Joensuu - Strome - Ullstrom
KO - Neilson - Grabner
Martin - Cizikas - Reasoner

Bailey once he's back from his knee scope can replace Ullstrom or Joensuu.

Another option is #isles watching waiver wire carefully for another depth dman to shore things up since might be a lot of activity

The ONLY way Garth adds new players to the team. Because they have no choice.
He's glaringly ineffective as a GM.
Start the chant now. Garth must go.

disgusting outside of JT and Molson. that might be the worst second line in nhl history

Still some time before Brooklyn...


Radek made sense... cheap, and he is already here practicing.

I'm sure other GM's would love to get their hands on Strome!!!

They would include him in any trade proposal!!!

I would trade him in a deal for Benn or Subban!!!
- jimmc7722

Strome has way more upside than Subban & Benn. Seriously don't know what all the hype is about Subban. He's done nothing in the NHL to warrrant all the talk - people suggesting offer sheets to him? He's still a kid who gets tossed around like a rag doll. See where his is in a few years.

I thought Grabner wasn't hurt anymore. Didn't see his name on the lines this morning.

Bringing back martinek is laughable. Isles continuing the trend of bringing in cheap old FA's because its worked so well before. This team as is would be lucky to win 10-15 games. To many questions as always, and they will not score a lot of goals. Tavares and Moulson are the whole offense and that's it. Hopefully we end up drafting MacKinnon or even Jones

better than rolston mottau or staios signings. Martinek never takes a shift off - he actually loves the team and wants to play for LI. F*ck Visnos. Toll him and drain the brake fluid from his race car.

Whats wrong with having someone who never played in the NHL, a B/C level prospect, and someone who sucked when he played for us a few years ago? Sounds awesome to me!

Why don't they trade Visnovski to Montreal for Kaberle...he's not much but I'd rather have him than Wischard, Landry or Visnovski...Montreal is trying to get rid of him anyway...

I don't watch other sports so it's easier for me to come to this conclusion.

Are you serious about Subban? What would you say if someone said "what's all the hype with Travis hamonic?" Does Hamonic need more time to prove his talent?

Pk subban comes to the isles and he's our best defenseman. IMO

Why don't they trade Visnovski to Montreal for Kaberle...he's not much but I'd rather have him than Wischard, Landry or Visnovski...Montreal is trying to get rid of him anyway...
- kear20

All this talk about trading visnovsky....did we forget that he's staying in Europe? What's his value? No one wants him! Heck Anaheim prob knew he was a flight risk and got Garth to take him of their hands.

According to Islanders Poinblank Martinek was on the 1st pairing with Streit...yikes...Hamonic with Andy Mac, Carkner and Landry, Rienhardt and Wischard...

Capuano said he is worried about PP...If I was him I'd worry about my job...he'll be gone after 12 games after the Isles go 4-8...Weight will be named new coach (Dee will be happy) and they'll bring up all the kids like Nino, Donovan and Nelson...so Snow can say the rebuild starts now...

The "BB" on the top line doesn't stand for Brian Burke.

I think crappy finishes the season and gets fired after it.

Only the isles bring back a recycled martinek who was once a 7th dman here......shine him up and pair him on the top d unit.

Garth: we're excited to have radek back. We believe he can play big minutes for us. We didn't extend him cause we knew deep down that he wasn't going to be a part of our future going forward. But thigs changed and now Radek will play top 2 minutes.

Benn is a great player... I would take him in a heartbeat.

Subban is a great powerplay QB, and is physical.

Subban will get paid 4 million a year!!!

Benn will get more!!!

Garth has done a better job than Burke over the last 4 years!!!

Do you know what this team is lacking... why in the world would we trade for a second line player when we need D..... we dont have enough D-men to ice a friggen team & you want to subtract from what we have to get what we already have, ignoring what we need.... nice!

XxNYIxX
- XxNYIxX

Realistically they are lacking everywhere so no need to bust my balls. It was a comment on the Isles having the ability to package some players prospects and picks for a quality player...I specified 2nd line as an option. Our D needs work but I still think we can fill that position with Komi from TO or other waiver wire pick ups. We just got Radek back for the short term as well and Lubo has til 10am to decide...Geeze you would swear you thought I was Garth or something the way you jumped at me....AHHHH love hockey season!!
