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.

You just KNOW he WILL. Especially with his GF whining in his ear to satisfy her daddy.

OK Dan Boyle

Beat it......the real new york team is signing UFAs
- kindlyrick

lol....day isnt over you guys may add Boyle too

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

I really like this line.

I don't think he'd leave larry brooks.

Prefer ko and nielson. This team is worst than last year as it stands.
- mighty13duck

its a significantly tougher, gritty team with 2 2-way players.

McGinn to the Yotes. Why the (frank) would he go there?

in a big way. I really like that change

I like that Frans mentioned maybe he was too comfortable on the Isles. Probably KO was in the same boat? Team needed to change the mix.

I guessing Buffalo offered him more than Snow.

I think it was time for something new for the team and Frans and KO.

I don't buy it. You don't turn down that much money for a change in scenery.

Come October Im thinking this will be our new team

Ladd/Lee-JT-TRADE
Ladd/Lee-Nelson-Strome
Grabbo-Barzal-Prince
Chim-Ciz-Cluts

Bailey and Kule traded. Barzal given PP1 time

Also expansion draft prediction
We go 7-3-1
Garth asks Boychuck to waive NMC but assires him if selected Garth will make a deal to keep him (2nd round pick or so)
We guard Hammer Pulock Leddy, leave CdH unsigned as RFA to scare off Vegas. They take Clutter or Ciz or Hickey

I don't buy it. You don't turn down that much money for a change in scenery.

All you guys needed was a new coach

Callahan & Brown 2.0 in 2yrs, if that......
- Ur Not Me

Maybe worse. Guy has never had great hands. Plus big gritty guys seem to have their body deteriorate after 30
I do however like the Jason Chimera signing.
Have a feeling Snow isn't done.

He's a great character player but 7 years? That's going to be a bad contract sooner rather than later regardless who he plays with....

Love these.. "too long" comments. So he plays for 5 years and u buy him out for last 2. who cares? We have a sht ton of cap room.

So far 1 hate & 1 like ......

So why Ladd for 5.5 and not KO for 6?

Eric Hornick ‏@ehornick · 24m24 minutes ago

Sorry to see Kyle & Frans go... btw Ladd/Chimera scored 45 goals last season; Okposo/Nielsen 42. #isles

I think it was time for something new for the team and Frans and KO.
- ses111

Frans at 5.2 per, great pickup by Detroit best value in the fA signings so far.
Big mistake not signing him.

- niteislander

The cap will also be higher at that time. So far I'm content, I'd like it if we signed boedker for 4 years at 4.5-5 per. If we bring him in I think we added the appropriate size and speed. A top line of Ladd-JT-boedker would be fun to watch

Ok is very inconsistent. He might be worlds better with a good coach though..
