He's a banger, good size ...

OK, thanks?
- ImThatGuy

He's a good player and a good leader. Very streaky and numbers may go down a bit without jt, but still a good signing for buffalo.

how's everyone feeling so far? I think we add another top 6 through trade, but ladd and chimera immediately make us tougher to play against and replace martin and okposo.

I like the moves so far 6. Better in the dressing room and hopefully on the ice with more moves.

LOVE Chimera for the fourth line. More speed than Martin and good size and snarl.

Its not like Buffalo is hurting at center. I got afraid when McKenzie said "Crazy Money" i was fearing 7.5MM and above.

It may hurt in years 5-7 though.

Cheers boys!

They have to add another top six forward, preferably a center. I don't know how they're going to do it.

Needed to. No doubt. Isles have been too soft for WAY too long. Like them both. Isles still need one more...something. 2c?!
- Mancalledsting

I have a feeling they're going with Nelson as the 2c

The Isles definitely needed more of that!

Guess u didn't get the memo Cizikas is new 2C/3C .....

- kindlyrick

I think nelson is moved in a package to upgrade at 2c

I like it......Isles obviously just got bigger. Both Ladd and Chimmer are big boys.

Is Backstrom a ufa?

Tough to say. Given the market I think Buffalo did alright. Just don't expect him to be a power forward.

so umm, who's gonna be the islanders' announcer next season? i actually liked the guy who IPB put up clips of a month ago. good balance of excitement and crisp calls.

but i wish it would be gus johnson

Cizikas, Clutterbuck, Chimera. Need a new name for them. I dunno. The Hi-C line?

Well, much like Moulson......got luck without Tavares feeding him the puck.
- kindlyrick

They have Eichel and O'Reilly. I don't think KO getting pucks fed to him will be an issue.

KO is a solid player. I think it just ran its course with the Isles. they needed a different voice and style than he brings. Ladd brings that different style. I wish KO and Frans all the best going forward. However, if Martin goes to the Rangers, he's dead to me.

Lots of interest in Matt Martin. Nothing done yet though.

Eichel and O'Reilly talented.....but not JT. Hows Moulson been doing over there? I can assure you he's not scoring 30...

Bingo.... So long softy Martin...
