I hope so, because I don’t mind thinking about this team without JT on it... but not for nothing in return. Since a trade for his rights wouldn’t yield all that much. And there is no way anyone does a sign and trade... I’m hopein JT ends his career on the Islnd.

Well the fact that ownership FINALLY decided to clean house and brought in the proper guy to do so, its not a coincidence that its in the year 91 becomes a UFA. This house cleaning bodes well for the signing of Tavares. Other than maybe a league leading payout, i dont see him leaving. I also dont see any team giving him the biggest contract in the NHL.

If Tavares doesnt sign with the islanders i see him ending up in Tampa or Dallas.

Tweets are forever. Not one opinion held by the Isles hockey operations has stood. Except for one thing...

Lou liked the draft and system they have in place. Just cut off the weak spots: the heads. Now does he like it enough to carry it past this summer ... that's a whole other question.
- B.D. Gallof

Lou is obviously well versed in draft talent from the Leafs. The isles weakness can only be addressed with specific assets. PICKS, prospects or roster players. All signs point to Lou trading the picks to address the absolute need of a starting goaltender and top pair dman.

Picks get traded, and he brings in Hunter July 15

When you try to post it tells you that you can't. So it is possible to be banned and not know it because you didn't try to post in that time frame.

JT maintains maximum leverage by waiting til the last minute. he's not gonna not do that because of fans' feelings. some of yall gotta chill and go to business school or something

Yah we know that... why would that knowledge end where he ends up speculation?

For those who believe Snow was a good "drafter"
2011, Ryan Strome (fifth overall): The Isles envisioned Strome turning into a 2A center behind Tavares, and had they chosen any one of the next three skaters taken, they would've had such a player. The three picks after Strome, in order: Mika Zibanejad, Mark Scheifele, and Sean Couturier. Ouch.

2012, Griffin Reinhart (fourth overall): Peter Chiarelli's poor judgment bailed the Islanders out on this one, as Reinhart would eventually be swapped to Edmonton for the pick that would turn into Barzal. Nonetheless, if the Islanders were looking to bolster their blue line, they could not have been more off in their evaluation of this draft class' defensemen. Morgan Rielly, Hampus Lindholm, Matt Dumba, and Jacob Trouba made up four of the next five picks.

2013, Ryan Pulock (15th overall): Pulock has the makings of a solid NHL defenseman, which is fine relative to the draft slot. Snow gets a pass here.

2014, Michael Dal Colle (fifth overall): Much like the Reinhart pick, the Isles valued size and strength with this pick rather than speed and skill. Dal Colle did dominate junior in his draft year, but good scouting would've recognized that William Nylander (eighth overall) or Nikolaj Ehlers (ninth) had brighter NHL futures
