There are some interesting players available at 5, however they are not slam stars. It will be interesting to see what happens here

My predicition

We swap with Toronto (5-8) for Reimer (we add a little something, little)
or
We swap with Anaheim (5-10) for Anderson (add something)

we aim for Ehlers or Virtanen

I would think we could get Reimer without swapping #1's? Have a feeling Isles will stay at 5 and take Dal Colle.

A couple of the mock draft's I've seen have Dal Colle at 5 for the Isles. I have no idea about these players. I doubt whoever is taken can step in right away.

I hope they trade the pick for some legit blue line help or a goaltender.

And the hits just keep coming

B.D. Gallof ‏@BDGallof 2m

Persistent rumor in NHL offices: Barroway wants out clause from Barclays as part of deal for #isles

B.D. Gallof ‏@BDGallof 2m

This way if revenue projections are below expectation for fixed number of yrs: would be able to MOVE team #isles (no likely NOT nassau)

B.D. Gallof ‏@BDGallof now

Also completely up to Barclays if there is truth to this bc no such clause exists in the current deal #isles

- Vukota


They'll hit all revenue projections if they put something worth paying for on the ice, and have it coached properly. Another 25 years of this crap wouldn't be worth watching anyway.

This was part of the Vanek trade;

Buffalo receives NY Islanders 2014 1st round pick (Islanders can defer to 2015 if pick is in the top 10), Matt Moulson and a 2015 2nd round pick for Thomas Vanek.



There's no way Snow will give up next years 1st & 2nd rd picks to Sabres in a loaded draft or he's really fackin stupid....
And I don't see him trying to recoup those picks bc teams know that 2015 draft is loaded unless worthy players are involved.

So I cant imagine not having a 1st & 2nd rd pick next year on a team that will almost be the same & continue to employ the same coach...

Whatever we think makes the most sense, Snow does the opposite. I think we should give it up this year because outside of the top 3 there is no great player. But since I think we should give it up, I expect them to use it this year.

Dan, I know that but Flyers might be good again next year and will be a late 2nd rd pick, in a loaded draft, Snow already gave up Isles to Sabres and really shouldn't give away the 1st either.

This years picks, I'm really not concerned about anyone in this draft, so this should be the year Snow tries to trade away as many picks as possible for something/someone.

I know some are trying to be optimistic about Snow attracting players to play here by FA or trade route, but with the same people in charge & coach, I really do not see any important/worthy changes made. Snow will bring in the G, D, F needed for this team, only problem will be not the right type of players needed..... U can bank on that!!!

Why does Snow still have a job?
The Vanek trade has to be one of the worse trades in recent memory.

Man, Leafs management has really pissed me off over the years, but the boneheads that have run the Isles over the past decade have been a complete joke.
You guys are hardcore fans, good on you!
Taveres is awesome, I hope you're able to get players to play with him.
I thought for sure, you'd re sign Moulson.

I hope it works out for you guys.
Snow needs to be hung!
