Strome, Niederreiter and a 1st is worth considering.

Islanders aren't that stupid though.

Yes Nonis needs to find a GM right now who is having brain farts. Gotta be some GM out there he can fleece.

You sure, I'm sure it is.

The only thing I'm sure of is the leafs will find away 2 not draft in the top 5 or make the playoffs this year

Agreed.

They seem to be keeping Burke's style of making guys earn their number, and sticking with a 40 something until then.
- Feeling Glucky?

It's stupid. Make guys a roster spot. Or ice time. Fine. But the number? Stupid.

Unless it's something like #13, probably what Kadri wants to wear, just give them whatever number they want.

is it funny because a 2nd is too much or not enough?

And I stick by my Strome/Nino-Kessel trade. This team isnt good enough, you cant build a team around Kessel. So lets trade him for some young prospects that you potentially could build a team around.

- pker2theend

they were never the same after they tried to score on the PK and let in a goal.

after that the air was out of their tires.
- Dozzer

yep. I hope that wasn't a coaching decision to have them try and score on the PK - I can't imagine it was (having 2 guys deep in NYI end was just dumb/cocky/ugly). They were in complete control at that point....and then

Jamie Benn and Dustin Brown are my kinda of players.

You're right, a 25 year old PPG player has no place on a team...

So you want to trade for some punk who whines about doing his time in the AHL?

No sh!t....sorry...didn't see that.

The fact that his name was still being mentioned in foolish trade talks on here, I assumed he hadn't been signed yet.

My bad

It would have to be a 1st, not a 2nd. And the Islanders would never go for it.

Honestly I could see the Isles doing it. They'll drool at the thought of having Tavares with Kessel but I think the Leafs would want add more to the deal. I think the Leafs would be insistent on the Isles 1st pick. Leafs would have add another piece though. So it would be Strome/Nino & a 1st for Kessel plus something else.

he had to be extended or else the Leafs wouldnt include Frattin in the deal.

Yup was announced at 7am this morning.

Teams playing 2nd game of back to back are 5-8-1

Lame excuse.
What are the stats on blowing a 2 goal lead?
They are pros......if they cant play quality hockey in back to back nights, than get the fack out of the league.....I simply dont buy it...its not as if they flew in from San Jose

I was referring to a 2nd in the Benn + second for Phanuef.

(I didnt see the signing this morning either though)

carlyle looked livid then confused then livid again

that wasnt the coaches call.. that was the ghost of ron wilson showing himself.. their play reminded me of last year.. where the mantra was to just go on offense regardless of the situation.

2 guys carrying the puck in deep on a PK?!? tykes know better than that ffs.

Really?

Oh I agree, no excuse for playing like that. Just pointing out the facts.
