It's TOM THOMAS not Tim Thomas. Ek was too excited to actually pay any attention. Have seen no one else say a word about Tim being traded---anywhere. E0 not E1 E2 E3 E4 E5

They are well over the cap floor, that's not the Islanders only motivation for making moves.

Actually, they were slightly over the cap floor, if I was adding correctly- NOW they are well over the cap floor. I'm guessing this frees them up to do other things without having to worry about that. The question is, will Garth ever make a trade that doesn't involve him trading a third round draft choice straight up for a player? And how come (if this is in fact the deal) he didn't make Boston give us something else for taking their albatross? God, I miss Bill Torrey....
