Nielsen deserves the A over ANY Islanders right now in my opinion. This guy is so under valued .
- Danformo

not Strome...not Nino...not any top prospect

Visors will be grandfathered in. Hybrid icing tested in NHL preseason. Shallower nets to be used next season. All subject to board approval

What the hell does shallower nets mean?
- Vukota

the depth of the net IE more room to skate between the goalie and the end board

4pm: Oh and by-the-way -- the Isles will have a draft party this year. Details coming soon. Matt Carkner and Matt Martin will be there this year. Tickets are of course FREE.

So they create more room below the goal line behind the net.

agreed but it's kind of ironic coming from a fan of the team that didn't really give him a shot..
- Cptmjl

we gave him a shot but he seemed like a career minor leaguer. props to you guys for giving him a legitimate shot though and playing him on tavares' wing since you guys had no other depth to really let him shine.

Marchand is such a douche but my god is he effective. And so skilled for that type of player.

With Strome/Nino/Nelson/Lee/Donovan possibles to make #Isles, cap floor won't be a problem.

How is that possible oh wait DP stays
- Vukota

The Isles lose 8.1 million in salary with Streit (4.1) and Boyes (4.0) gone.

They add 10.08 with Strome, Nino, Nelson, Lee and Donovan.

Net gain is 1.98 million.

If they replace Streit, Boyes, Aucoin (.65), Joensuu (.60) and Reasoner (1.4)
(All UFA players) that would be a NET LOSS of .67 million.

Art Staple needs to do a little homework before he talks nonsense.

After all, if you add 5 players you need to lose 5 players......

so in the thinking of our hackjob blogger...boyes may not be coming back and he is Canadian therefore that makes Tavares more tradable

won't hamonic be getting a big raise?

So basically any new players coming in this year have to wear one?
- Vukota

Yes, anyone not wearing one now won't be forced to put one on. But everyone entering the league will.

Someone needs to create a pool to see who the Craig McTavish of visors is going to be. Whoever picks the last man standing wins a prize.

He and Bailey will be re-signed long term.

I agree. I always knew he was a douche but I didn't realize how good of a player he is as well until this years playoffs

Additional video review for 4 min highsticking penalties is a large step in allowing vid review for other issues down the road.

You think Anders Lee starts off in BP next year?

Dee Karl: Captain Will Not Return per StapeNewsday
well, we sort of knew this was coming.

Wanna bet he takes about the same contract from somewhere else?

Who gives a shat, we're all glad he is gone and I'll take that bet anyway

Probably

I do

Oh ok. It's still filling a position none the less one in which your boy plays . Why pay someone to fill a goalie position and have one of either Poulin or Nilsson come back down + DP. Makes no sense unless we have the three headed monster routine going on again. There are many different ways this can play out and just bcs he is a prospect doesn't discredit my conspiracy theory
- Cptmjl

because he was signed last year as well... nothing has changed... The same amount of goalies that were up (2) and the same amount of goalies that were down (3).. so why if its EXACTLY the same as last year.. does that equate DP as being done? its read status quo to me.

X can you take this one for me
- Cptmjl

No.....
