Have to get Seidenberg in there he has a great outlet pass.

Until they get rid of this coaching staff, its gonna be the same stuff. I really dont see the rationale of having 4 forwards on the PP, when you have a kid with a 100 MPH slapshot. It boggles the mind...

Just when you thought talent would surpass stupidity....

Never on this team with these clowns running it

You and the rest of the world but they'll keep doing it like they know something everyone else doesnt.

Call me crazy, but $6M+ wouldn't have fit into the ~$2M in cap space we have

Grabo's cap hit is eliminated once he's on LTIR.

He looked (frank)ing terrible my god. This should be some gong show on Thursday.

I think our defense is worse if we are going by preseason. Rangers are going to have to score 5-6 g a game to have a chance

He's not cleared to play or practice. What else do you do with him?

Leave him on regular IR. It makes no sense to LTIR him when we haven't spent up to the cap.

You would get partial cap space by putting him on LTIR. You don't get his whole salary

Capuano said he will know more tomorrow if Halak will be able to play in the opener

Halak's hurt already
- Harambe

Unreal. Halak should be punched in the face if he complains about the 3 goalies again.

Only once we are over the cap limit. If your under the cap limit as a team, which the Islanders are, LTIR doesn't lower the injured players cap hit. Stupid yes but thems the rules.

Better?

I don't understand any of these moves. Plus you're keeping Barzal up and not playing him????

I think someone said earlier that Snow will be speaking later, so hopefully there will be some clarification.

Also, not the first time they kept a kid around as an extra without playing him, instead of sending him back to juniors. /cue "requisite number of meetings" jokes

Hearing that Halak is sick, not injured. We'll see if he's well enough to practice tomorrow.

Wow. 10 teams passed on him. That is surprising.
