No..there's a couple of teams ahead of us (I think 4?)

Buff, Edmon, Fla... us.

Actually we are 4th in the pecking order and while I don't see Buff or Fla adding another D-man with that $. I could easily see Edmonton grabbing R KLESLA ahead of us...

spelled it right this time.

He's definitely worth the risk bc of size alone. Plus maybe a change of scenery would benefit him and us.....

Buff, Edmon, Fla... us.

Ugh....there's Teddy Nolan and his penchant for older players

At least I have reason to scan Twitter other than dismal hopes of Cappy getting canned....though I still check here and there

We want the cup. Bring it home Garth.

If the Isles traded for Gervais I would be happy at this point. We have gotten that bad. Also is Hilbert available? We can use him for the pk

Klesla makes 3 mil. No way the Islanders will pick that up. Although I am not sure how the rules exactly work on picking up the salary after getting a player of the waivers.

I hear Eaton, Mottau and Jurcina are en route to LI now. Our issues are solved.

What about Hillen from the Caps?

Isles going to elementary schools is actually a very nice thing. I would have killed to have them come to me when I was younger. What a cool experience for the kids.

No Staios?

Hillen was not bad and not good, just decent. However decent on this team would be an upgrade on basically everyone of our defenders. I would take him.

No Staios?

They might make a play for Reese and Witt. Meyer is also in the mix.

I forgot about him. Where is he now a days?

It actually pretty painful to look through the D corps of the Isles in the past 15 years. There were some exceptions (Hamrlik, Jonsson, Aucoin, Berard, McCabe, Brewer, Ninimaa)

KHL and he actually represented Team USA at some sketchy international tournaments this year.

They are lucky a few of the kids didn't take them out in the school yard after class and pound the snot out of them for sucking so bad

Imagine if one of the kids raised their hands and said. "How come you guys cant play defense?"

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I'm not saying they will grab him but given what's on the line for this team at this point, the ability to grab Klesla @ 2.8 mil for the season as opposed to acquiring salary via trade at the expense of picks/prospects might be too good to pass up.

He would be a perfect fit for us, problem is Edmonton will snatch him first.

I will actually probably see him tonight at my Son's (6 years old) hockey practice/clinic. Garth's son plays with him and is GS is usually there..
