I'm not sure if that is sarcastic or not but I'm going to assume it's not.

Wang buying the team was the first, last, and only positive thing he did for the franchise. He is awful.

Wang saving the team from moving out of state should be enough to like him


Awful or not.. At the time not many were fighting for whos going to dish out the cash to buy a falling franchise..

Yes it was great that he kept them here. I was happy for that. Then he proceeded to systematically destroy the franchise with one bad decision after another. He is an egotistical, controlling jackass that believes he knows how to do things better than anyone who is actually qualified to do them. Not to mention there's a very good chance he should probably be in jail with Sanjay.

Anyway, I'm off to the game to go put money in that wanker's pocket...

Would Lu even approve a trade to the Islanders? Doubtful.

Wang saved the franchise.. Sure he messed up with the Dipietro long term contract. Also at the time of that contract DP was an All star and played for team US .. How was Wang to know that DP was made out of glass? if DP stayed healthy and played half of that contract it would still have been a bargain at 4 mill per.. But things don't always work out the way you plan them..

Isles have been doing a decent job at picking up guys and not throwing huge $$$ at players like many teams...

When was the last time the Isles played in the playoffs?

Oh, how fast Penguins forget how pathetic their team was in the early 2000's before they got lucky and got Cindy Crybaby.

Acquired over 10 years ago. Jesus Christ. Can we still laugh at the Flames for trading Brett Hull for nobodies?

Sorry, they have the 5th best PP, the 3rd best PK, and have been top 3 in goals scored in the NHL for most of the season, with Evgeni Nabokov in net. They're a playoff contender.

Traded Chara and 2nd overall pick for Alexei Yashin in 01, signed him to a 10 year $87M deal, bought him out in 07. They only owe him $2.2M for one more year.

Dude, don't bring that up. Apparently it was too long ago for it to be brought up here.

Oh, and there is 3 more years to go (incl. this one- just checked on capgeek.com)
