No one will sign him

ill take that bet

XxNYIxX

unfortunately by keeping nino on the 4th line his first year to add his ELC as salary towards the cap, they shot themselves in the foot. Nino's value dropped, and the isles are now left with a top 5 pick who's value is now half of what it should have been
- kindlyrick

they didnt want Nino's salary & the player they wanted they felt wouldn't be there at 15... just because our deal was better doesnt mean it was the best fit for the Kings.

Hell the Oilers deal was better then both offers.

XxNYIxX

They would look splendid on JT's wing and believe it or not it might even sound like a good idea to them?
- Cptmjl

James Neal -JT- Strome, Isles #1 line?

Pascal Dupris - Nelson- Clutterbuck #2 line

Bailey - Nielsen - KO #3 line

Martin - CC - Macdonald- #4 line

One can dream cant one?

the day is young
- Cptmjl

It is young but I cant see Garth doing anything to screw up today. It is a great day

I just want to say that today is probably the best day ever to be an Islander fan. We finally get rid of the albatross named DP. I am speechless and the tears are flowing with happiness. Good Riddance!!!!!! For this one act alone I am now a true blue Wang and Snow fan and will NEVER EVER criticize them for any moves they make.

LETS GO ISLANDERS!!!!!!!!!!

What about moves they DONT make?

Oh I am dreaming as well. Those lines do look dreamy

Nope Wang and Snow are my saviors today. They are men amongst boys. they have reached the highest peaks of mountains. They are GODS!!!

LOL I think he would do well here, I am also in favor of Dupuis and or Neal. Even though I heard Neal has some nagging injuries
- kasperrko

I wasnt aware of that.

I doubt we trade for him anyway but he would look pretty good on JT's wing (if healthy) along with Strome.

Storme

Use trade chips towards a goalie...I don't see the Horton's or Briere's signing with this team....another good season and over to Brooklyn and we will start getting some UFA talent.
- Nolanders

Strome hasn't played an NHL game in his life, he's 20 years old and people just want to hand him a spot on the top line? Come on. That reeks of desperation. It also increases the kid's chances of being overwhelmed, playing out of his natural position in such a prominent and important role.

Lets give Strome a chance to play in training camp and get some serious contenders for a top line RW spot before we annoint Strome the first line RW.

ill take that bet

I should've bet you on the Islanders going to Brooklyn and Nino being in training camp... What kind of bet we talking here?

I can't stand right now.

They wanted him out of the conference.

How would these two look in Islander Blue and Orange?


Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports that the Penguins will likely trade forward James Neal. Neal is owed $5 million in each of the five seasons, as he’s signed through 2017-18.

THIS N' THAT

Speaking of the Penguins, they'll likely have to let left wing Pascal Dupuis go to free agency and there's plenty of talk they'll move winger James Neal before all is said and done.
- SCLI

I would love to land Neal. Problem is, at what cost? What would Pitt want for him. To trade Neal to a divisional opponent, the price is going to be sky high.

How long does anyone think this will last?

How about Moulson and Grabner and a mid rd draft pick?

Moulson may score 45 playing with Sidney.

we can do a gentlemen bet, a money bet, a meet one day at a game bet for a beer, we can do a "location" bet... what'ca feeling?

No I am serious no DP and I am on an elite level in life. How can I not praise those two? I wonder if I can get a poster of Garth and Wang and hang it in my living room?

Ohh I get that, they had to choose the third best offer out of the 3

Not that I loved Wang And Snow. This a different level though. You know how I felt about Ricky D. This is one of the biggest bright spots in Islander history!!
