Nabby is playing forward this contract?

And Grabner is playing goalie.

Another innovation by Wang.

the return that Ottawa got is like us trading Strome, Cizikas and a one...silfverurg will be a 25-30 goal scorer..this is a good deal for both teams

The Isles are a little better at forward. Adding ClutterBuck and getting rid of some dead weight. You know the names. so by process of elimination we improve.

"D" ???? No way to tell if we're better, Worse or the same. We did nothing.

Goalie? by staying Pat. We are worse off. Nabby a yr older following a bad PO performance. Say what you will. I dont think he wanted to return. Had Emery not gone to Philly. I believe Nabby would have been a Flyer. Aside from them. I doubt anyone wanted him. Thats why he's still an Islander.

But I think we didnt do the things that were needed to make the PO's again.

And to prove that. We'll have to wait and see.

- SCLI


if if Snow makes a signing or trade later this summer we'll fully expect to see you recant all these doomsday posts 4 hours into free agency.

Goalies available as the UFA period opened:

Emery
Nabby
Labarbara
Hedberg

did we really have a wealth of opportunities there? Anything else in a trade costs assets, which may still happen, but Poulin or Nilsson will likely get an opportunity here next season to play 25-30 games. I think that's a good thing. At least we'll get a better idea of what we have.

This is how you find out if you have star players in your prospect pool. You play them.

bouchard is a nice signing and is an upgrade over boyes...regin gives them depth if nelson or strome aren't ready...good size, smart defensively...people can complain all they want, but the isles are a better team today..some of these contracts are laughable...Horton...Clarkson..fippula
- NYI78

Should have went all in for Ryan...probably back to being a top 5 entry draft team...

Defense UFA:

Matt Pelech former 1st rounder, probably brother of Isles prospect Adam Pelech.

Chris Summers 25yrs, 1st rounder of PHO notorious for not playing young players.

Very good move. Best Isles signing of the day next to Regin.

it was stated by staple prior to today (last week I think) that the Isles wouldn't be looking for a defenseman as a ufa. Goaltender we got (not wild about him, but Poulin or Nilsson will get a better opportunity)

on defense we'll see at camp if Donovan, Dehaan or someone else can make the team. Might even be two rooks on defense if they really impress, who knows? I'd rather see what we have then overpay for a ufa that is 10 years older and on the decline.

Again, I don't disagree to an extent... You have to get these kids some help. You can't go into the season half cocked with a bunch of hopefuls. I guess when you call Brian Strait a top four Dman in the NHL you can?

Wow, maybe, possibly a very small overpayment for this coming season, but this is going to be an outright steal for the vast majority of this contract considering what d-men have been getting on the open market.
