I know your worried that if we had a competent owner & GM, Isles would actually attract worthy FA's to go along w/Tavares and would be a better team than yours........ EASILY!!!!

Brooklyn is the BEST market other than possibly Toronto (best hockey market that is also the largest)- and they already have a 25 year lease and a $25+ M per year TV contract to play in Brooklyn....by the way...note that TV contract and the fact that they lose money to the tune of right around $12M a year (anything you read in a publication that says it's a lot more than that is BS...like THN, for example...just saying....if anything, since they restructured the lease, it's probably a little less).....that explains what an absolute piece of sh*t that building in Uniondale is, and the embarrassment that is their lease in that dump. At any rate, once that team gets to Brooklyn, I can think of five franchises right off the top of my head that would be better off moving to Toronto than them, including one of their neighbors. Note I didn't say SHOULD move, before anyone gets upset- I'm just talking about being in a worse situation than the Isles will be in, after that happens.

Don't laugh- your team is the one that is going to be playing in Uniondale five years from now, after NYC boots them to build a shiny new place for the bums to sleep. At least you will no longer be playing in the "world's most famous arena that smells like pi$$".

yup... I'm calling BS on that one as well...

Bettman will sell to anyone with the money and a semblance of a plan. The seven year this is just noise to keep the Islander fan base quiet.

Very similar to all the good news and optimism that was spread around when the Whalers left Hartford.

I'm sure the NHL is dying to move a dynasty team from NY. The Whalers have the same rich history as the Islanders.

I see Lafontaine being involved in this purchase. As part of a group that will take over. He wants to be involved in operations and have more control. Book it

Really??? If the Rags didn't have 3 good Dmen and a great G, your team would be horrible.. Reverse the rolls and put those 3 Dmen and G on Isles and we would be CUP contenders. Like I said, a competent GM & NHL coach would attract better players and would be a better team than the Rags... That's a fact Jack
