So Staple cites PAP or Boyes as possible deadline acquisitions. Wtf
- Cptmjl

hahaha i thought the same thing...

Yeah, I don't think Bailey is a Tortorella-type player. Bailey is a little bit too laid back for Torts. Plus, Bailey has never seen a check he couldn't avoid....
- JohnScammo

Good point.............under Torts you'd see his a$$ benched. On the isles, its 82 games for the kid who has yet to play a consistent season.

Bailey would retire before playing for Torts.

McKenzie: I don't know if a good fit translates into getting a deal done, but Parenteau to #Isles makes sense from my perspective. #Leafs

I have a strong feeling that we're geting PAP back.

I mean how does PAP play over?? it doesn't make a ton of sense

I have no clue? It literally makes no sense. Imagine Brad Boyes coming back here? I'd lose my (frank)ing mind

I really get not giving up the farm for rentals, but is this really the best we can do?

if okposo wants to stay why wouldn't you guys want to keep him. He is the 2nd best player on the team in points and he doent play with Tavares so you cant even make the Moulson argument. SIGN KO. How can you think KO not worth 5-6MM a year but grabovski makes 5 and Kumelin makes 4M+.

Also - Bailey is very good contract, he isn't going anywhere.

PAP is past his prime and his best years were as an islander. Getting him or boyes would not be an upgrade.

the only thing that is good about getting PAP is he would cost nothing to acquire and is a UFA next year. So we could get him and just have him as healthy scatch if if needed.

Adding PAP while keeping Bailey and Grabo.

If that's what you plan on doing you're better off doing nothing at all.

Who are you kidding he'd be on the first line instantly trying to recapture that "magic" from the good ole' days.

I think most isles fans would love to resign Kyle, but it has to be at the right price. 5 for 5 would be ok, but if he wants 7 for 6 then no thank you.

If PAP is brought back im giving up the rest of my tickets

I can see a guy like Kris Versteeg being picked up by the Isles.

I agree. It's just sad with all these prospects we cannot bring in a better player and we are even thinking about bringing back past rejects.

No he's not, Brock Nelson is, plus if your satisfied with KO performance thru out his career then keep excepting the stale brand.
Grabo & Kuli were overpaid to attract but hopefully that shouldn't be the issue moving forward.....

I imagine he'd be a 13th forward.

i'd give okposo 5-5.5 a year.. he wants 7 year.. also don't love locking him up for 6 or 7 years... I like Kyle but he is a second line player and i'd rather give that money to Lucic or Ladd or someone of that nature. if kyle could play like he did for 60 games two years ago or like he did in the pens series, id have no issues locking him up. their is just no consistency
