I'm finally on the "it's time for Nick Schultz to sit" bandwagon, although I'm not sure for who.

It's also clear that they are playing Brandon Manning come hell or high water.

Also, my theory on Medvedev is "language barrier issues" or somehow related to his NA transition (not just him, but his family). I can't believe it's because he's not good enough or doesn't have enough skill.

The good news is at least Medvedev isn't signed for next year. In a lost season pissing away 3 million isn't that big a deal.

I have a feeling after the deadline we may see Morin and/or Hagg get called up.

I agree with Johndewar. Something is going on with Medvedev. I don't believe he's not playing because the coach doesn't think he's good enough. I don't know what it is, but something is going on, that they don't want to talk about.

Maybe it's Dopita part 2. He can't adjust to the North American culture

Yes, pissing away only 3 million is lightweight for this organ-eye-zation

Did Medvedev pee in Hakstol's coffee, steal Hexy's lunch, bang grandpa Eddie's wife??

Or is he dead??

WTF?

Taking advantage of Ghost's extraordinary play and having Medvedev take English lessons.

Well considering 14 million is being spent on guys who can't even play in the NHL, Medvedev is small potatoes.

So between Medvedev, VLC, MacDonald, and Umberger that's about 17 million spent on wastes of oxygen. Stellar management.

Oh, even THAT McDonald is an ex-Islander.

We have ALL of the guys that weren't good enough to play on the Islanders.

- johndewar


Yeah, there was a real trend of us pilfering their castoffs for a while. It's working out well.

I know it's been discussed a lot, and I know Medvedev's made some mistakes and had a dropoff in play, but I don't think it warranted a benching for several games after he was healthy??

Not in favor of Manning. He's a waste of time. Medvedev should be playing.

I feel like it was some league wide deal that was made to assuage Islander fans where the Flyers were forced take some flawed players from the Islanders on their roster along with admitting Clark Gillies into the HHoF.

Did his English get worse between the start of the season when he was clearly in the top 4, and now?

I'd really like to know what's going on here. Doesn't make sense to me. If you've decided he's not what you want, then still let him play in this lost season so as to see if you can send him for a pick at the TDL.

Here's a fun fact. Umberger is 2nd on the team in points per minute at 5 on 5. Laughton is number one.
