Well, I think JT wanted to truly see how this year worked out as far as the progress
( or regression )of the team, and also to a lesser extent The arena issue. As the GM, Snow should have said JT if we don't have some sort of deal in principle I can't let you walk and get nothing in return.
JT earned his FA and the right to see what else is out there however Snow let him dictate the terms and thats all on him.
Again, can't blame JT's camp for exploiting Snow's stupidity.

Just my opinion of course.

Glad that my Uber fares are agreed to before the pick up because I couldn't handle this negotiating stuff.

JT and his agent should be ashamed for taking advantage of Garth.

More teasing from JT?

C-ya, JT!

No way JT leaves Barzal. That would be like schwein leaving Lee.

Roster is simply full of over the hill vets or guys who become too timid at the wrong times.

It's the fans fault.

It's the fans fualt.

Always is.
Damn us all to hell for wanting a competent GM and competitive team.

The only way JT signs here is if he gets max total value deal. He took a team friendly deal thinking the GM will bring players to compete. But if he takes a max deal, the team will not be able to compete (theoretically only). So he will not sign here.

Even in cartoon form I want to smash his head in with a hammer.

There are only two things I'm interested in with the team right now. Barzal and seeing if Lee can get 40 goals. I almost hope he doesn't. Schwein will be pissed if he gets that tattoo and Lee is traded in the summer by a new GM.

If it means Snow is gone, then I would accept the grief willingly.

That's not a bad idea. We can knock them both off at the exchange.

I'll pass on part two of your plan.

Yes, Yes, Yes... this coaching staff are in to deep. If this team moving forward want to go anywhere beyond the first or second round (let alone last place in the Met) they need to play a better brand (some brand) of D. Snow has to go, this team has a great core and some prospects a couple tweaks to team structure and this ship could sail. If Johnny T flies (very good chance of this) they still have youth and a plethora of venues to occupy over the next three or so years. A great top 8 or so players this draft so that is promising.

I'll take "Wholly unnecessary, yet accurate, summary of the current state of the Islanders" for $200, Alex

I'm watching any which way you can and before that every which way but loose and it's been great. No isles no cares plus I love these movies, old school
