So, I can return my Vanek sweater to the "aud' for a full refund, right? RIGHT?

Buffalo fans don't know what they are talking about..the Islanders rebuild is over...now i's time to get back on trach for the playoffs...the team that got the best player got the best of the deal. Vanek is the best player...Islanders win this one...sorry...enjoy being a top 5 lottery pick Buffalo...

If that's their goaltending and defense after a completed rebuild then someone needs to be fired. This is the sort of move that a true contender makes, not a bubble playoff team. The Islanders are likely going to walk away with nothing at the end of the season.

Homer,

I'm hearing a lot about a Miller deal "All But Done"...
Any truth to this?

I dont think he's that good w/o Tavares. He's a poor mans Vanek.

I agree a lot of players could do what Moulson has done if they played on JTs wing. Look at Dupuis in Pitts.

I wonder if the Isles also looked into Miller and Myers. Both guys coulda fit in perhaps.

Imagine if they really blow it up and move Staff, Miller, Mouslon and maybe even ott. Could have tons of picks for the next couple of drafts.

I think Ott is a guy you should hold onto for a rebuild. He's exactly the type of player Edmonton hasn't had and is now scrambling to get. All youth with no leadership isn't much good.

I'd give him up for a 1st, and I'd bet that EDM would give one up.

Why is everyone thinking we will trade Moulson?

But he's 30 already. If a team offers something decent take it

"Always take Edmonton's first if offered" should be a general rule of thumb in the NHL.

You still need veterans in a rebuild though. I think he'd do a lot of good for the younger players. Of course, if someone is going to offer something stupid for him then take it.

I like this trade for 2 reasons.

1. Good trade for the Sabres and about (frank)ing time it was a waste of time him being here and he has been playing like it.

2. I am actually excited to see how Vanek goes there, I want it to work out for him and the Islanders. I could see him staying there if it works out well otherwise he will be in Minnesota next year.

Miller must know he is next now.......

I'm not a fan of all these anonymous rumor guys. Remember Hockey Insider, guy was a fraud and hasn't been heard from in months.
