Agreed. Strome or any ther prospect can be that fit for JT but it took a couple of years for JT to emerge into a full superstar. It would be nice to get a big RW for JT now do they can develop one, but have someone for now. That can possibly create 2 lines that will be extremely good. I am confident that Nabby will be back next year. Like you said I would really like to see a top D man brought in. They have so much cap space, it would be nice for once to trade or somehow get a star. What do you guys think about Bernier for goalie?

It'd be nice but don't hold your breath on that one.

Too much speculation...I think Garth brings in 2 or 3 new guys...goalie, defenseman and forward...also they only have 15 players on the roster...if my memory is correct all teams need to have signed 23 players and at least $44 million in payroll. the Islanders have 15 signed and that inclides Lee and Finley...the number of players on the roster is key...so don't be suprised if Garth is waiting to see who is bought out...also don't be suprised if he can't sign Nabokov if he tries to trade the 4th rd pick he got from Philly for a goalie like Mike Smith of Phoenix or a defenseman before they hit UFA...

Best case scenario but definitely not probable.

OV could have easily been the Caps worst player for half the season ...then he gets the Hart...what is wrong with this league
- Nolanders

He was really bad at times. Only a matter of time till JT wins it, not worried.

Ek has the Islanders most likely to trade for Hemsky. I say no thanks. If the Isles are looking to deal let it be for a dman or goal. Give the forward prospects a shot over Hemsky.

Cpt...don't they have to have 23 players on their active roster?

Messier has to be bummed. AV is a solid choice and has the expierence.

Upset that he didn't win. But if somebody other than JT had to win, it should be OV. He's only 22 and there are many more Hart's that he can win

AO is more important to his franchise, but he's not more important to the team then JT.

Nice job!

I have no problem with Horton. Isles need big forwards like Horton and not Hemsky to match up with teams like Boston. I'll take my chances with Nino over Hemsky. Hemsky is not the droid we are looking for.

I don't mind Horton however I would rather a big nasty, rough defencemen.

Same here. With guys like Nino and Nelson the big nasty dman is more important than Horton.

They're looking to move... just sold their house.

Hopefully they like Long Island instead of Boston.

I think Horton would like to stay if he can!!!

It was weird... I walked into the house and seen the pics of Nathan and Tammy.

I didn't know going in it was Tammy's parent's house.

Paille... big goal!!!!

Another Welland Boy!!!!
