If true about Hamonic... a trade for Kane would be nice!!!

I think he will be fine... just part of growing up and playing in the NHL.

Players make sacrifices to play.

We should trade Hamonic for Burmistrov. He's a great third liner!

Sorry...promise that's the last "not thrilled about the Nino trade" reference I'll make.

I think Garth better hurry and resign Nabby, Scuderi for sure woould be a great addition but I wonder if we could get Edler from the Nucks? Horton , Weiss would also be good imports but I really don't feel Garth made the team any more attractive yesterday and we know that has been one of our issues for years....but as someone said Horton on JT's wing should be enough....he would likely have a record season with the Isles.
- Nolanders

in summary, your wish list is:
Nabby
Scuderi
Edler
Horton
Weiss

...anything else? would you like a side of fries with that?

Didn't Hamonic's father die when he was 14? I remember them running a story on his struggles growing up and I could swear that was mentioned.
- Charlie21

Honestly don't know....if true about his original dad, do not know if this could have been his step dad.....


That what I was told by someone who knows Hammer really well..

I'm torn myself bc always liked Clutterbuck, and a huge supporter of Nino.

Yes you are correct. this clown has no clue whatsoever what he is talking about, who is he hockeyyinsidderr?

If you reread it was not all but some....geez when Garth screws up everyone takes it out on the guys that are all wanting the same thing...onions rings, not fries!!!!

Nabby

No big deal... I agree that if Nino could have been flip for something more I would be happy.

The Nino and the 15th pick for Schneider looked good if true.

But I really like Clutterbuck, and think he will be a great team player.

He is the total opposite of Nino!!!


Our biggest need right now is finding a goalie.

Worst case scenario... bring back Nabby!!!


On "D"... Donovan will have to step up. (Still a little worried about it... hopefully he is ready, not sure who is going to eat up the big minutes)

Can't wait for Reinhart and Company to bring their game to the NHL!!!

Like Clutterbuck don't like the trade...
- Cptmjl

Agree, Cal should bring it and we know Isles fans like that style of play...see Steve Webb!!! The trade not so crazy about....in a package I still think Nino would have gotten us something more. But I do believe that other GM's did low ball Garth as he wanted him gone....regardless if Clutterbuck brings some of this I can live with him for sure

i forgot...who was the one who laughed at my idea of Nikita Zadorov being available for the isles to pick?? im ok with Pulock but would have been very happy seeing Zadorov

Ok arse......go ask his agent Jarret and Jets scout Bruce, who knows him and his family very well....
Did not want to mention names, but take it for what its worth....

Oh you googled his agents name, now I believe you

Also, his D partner A-Mac demands a trade to the Judique Royals because it is close to home

What's the big deal here...some guys do know people involved with the players and teams....doesn't mean he is lying...geez people relax.....

Well when he is talking about people who dies 12 years ago I question his insight

Why would I make it up? Has no barring on me, duh, like I said before just for your comprehension, it was mentioned to me.......

On a sad note, Hamonic loves the Isles, and would not do anything to ruin the chances of playing here, but would like to play closer to home. Only bc his parents are splitting up, and would like to be closer to his family, nothing to do w/team, coaches, management, etc..... when I heard that story, I felt bad and as much as I like the kid, wish Isles would grant him only for the purpose of his family......

- Ur Not Me

Tell him to grow a pair, if he is closer to home or not... they are still splitting up. Nut Up!

Looks pretty good to me...now lets get a Nino highlight tape when he was with the Islanders for a year...

Nabby
Scuderi
Edler
Horton
Weiss

And a Falafel!!

I like Elias because he can still play at a pretty high level and would basically be a stop gap. There's no way Id take him more than 2 years.
- potvin05

Strome won't complain, he'll just lead the AHL in scoring until Garth can't deny him a shot with the big boys.

im not in love with the trade (i was hoping to get more, obviously) but the team is clearly better today then they were this past year...

Iginla looked old, slow and borderline useless during the playoffs. At this point you'd just be paying for the name.
- UIF

He's also KO's hero.

Fellow Isle Fans....

must say, if any of you have the chance to go to the live draft next year in Philly, its def an experience worth doing.
- Ur Not Me

I've gone to a bunch of them...including the one where I almost jumped out of the upper deck in Nashville to kick Milbury in his a$$ when he took Nilsson instead of Parise....especially after I saw big Louie running up to the podium to trade up to get him. Just couldn't swing tickets this time....it was a "lottery" where Devils season ticket holders got first priority, and scalpers who wanted to sell free tickets for money got second priority (just like everything else in New Jersey....and you thought the Sopranos was a TV show ). I'm going to try again in Philly next year- told my bro who's a Flyers fan to make sure he buys a partial plan this year, so we can get freebies.

Ok let's talk about
Strait
Hickey
Finley
Where do they stand on the team now?
Are they still improving?
If snow doesn't sign anyone, can the islanders survive with this group?
