You hit it right on the head by saying this team isn't going anywhere, what makes next year any different? What has Snow done to make you think he is going to improve this team next year? Honest question

He is a mike under cap floor with at least three defensemen to sign.

Edit. Mile under floor. I think snow does make a few moves this summer.

Where were the st. Louis blues a year ago. Do you think they at least have a shot to win west? What big impact trades did they make? They did what I think the isles need to do and I've said it since Gordon got canned. Hire a legit coach. Andy Murray, Michelle therrian. See what happens with that, and a top four d man that can score.

Do something! They brought in Davidson and capable "hockey" people to run their team. The coach situation is a joke. Again, not trying to be a jackass but what has Snow done to make you think that hes doing a good job and we are going to suddenly transform into this team thats going to "compete for the stanley cup next year"?

Maybe he can finally pry Gomez from Montreal!

He could always sign Rolston to five mil. Maybe resign Staios, I honestly would not be shocked by any of these moves. Thats how absurd the current state of this team is

Don't be surprised when it happens

Do something? What? What could he have done to make this team a cup contender this year?

Is he supposed to pull a milbury? He did something all the time and look where that took us.

To clarify I'm not thrilled with snow, but give me an example o something you would like to see done?

Coach change, get rid of Rolston, Get rid of Reasoner, Get rid of Pandawful. Send a message that he will not tolerate losing anymore while he is "building his Stanley Cup Contender". Make a trade for an impact player. If you have to give up a young player/prospect do it. There is a time when you do do that you know? Don't sit there and do nothing when your team is obviously not making the playoffs yet again when you told the fanbase verbatam it would. Doing nothing is just, well doing nothing.

By the way, do all of this before the season is lost not now when its meaningless and has no impact. I know, how dare I say make a trade. What a crazy notion. Last I checked GM's don't just draft they actually do make trades as well some of them quite effective believe it or not?

I'm sorry you cannot use the Milbury excuse when Snow never makes a trade. That does not fly. Snow could have brought in a Andrew Ladd or Versteeg type. Not stars but solid vets.

Pandolfo isn't the problem. He had a bad game tonight but he is gone next year. Rolston is gone. Reasoner i can't believe has been this bad. He has been a good 3rd 4th line player his entire career until now.

As I said before, I agree ant out coach. I'll ask you honestly, what teams have made impact trades lately? Buffalo did at deadline.

Rumor is snow was in on hodgson but vancouver wanted a player with size that could play.

What teams make these impact trades? If they are so easy why hasn't Tampa brought in a d man or goalie, why didn't Toronto do anything, why is Nash still in Columbus....

which rules out any player on the team he assembled. How can you defend this guy when he has done nothing but draft? Nothing. I'll ask you the same question for the third time bcs you have not answered it yet? Do you think this team ill be a Stanley Cup contender next year? If so, what makes you think Snow will do anything to improve the team?

I'm frustrated too. It sucks. Biggest issue for me this year is why the (frank) is nino on the team, he is terrible. He is just as bad or not worse than Pandolfo, reasoner rolston. He does nothing with okposo either. He should be back in jrs.

2nd biggest is why is the slow starts in games.

Im sorry I do not care what other teams do or not do. Forget impact trades Snow cannot even make a medium size trade. The summer is the time to make moves and Snow did nothing. The Isles have problems with the building that most teams do not have. The need to put a good product on the ice if they expect Nassau to move on a new building. They need to use Brooklyn. Wang and Snow cannot hang out and do nothing.

Toronto was actively shopping players and was in on Nash which was reprted by real news souces, Toronto fired their coach and a well respected coach at that not some ass clown who didn't even have a winning record in the AHL.

No I don't. And nor do I think after four years there would be any shot at that and if you thought that there would be a shot then that's being short sighted. It takes years to be a cup contender after rebuilding. It took Pitt 8 years AND they had the best players in the world. Took Chicago 10 to win a cup. I think next year they make the playoffs and the last year of the lease they will have a shot to win cup.

What gm has brought in two better producers than p.a. And moulson in the last three years? Answer me that.

I think he will try to improve team. He did last offseason. Ehrhoff trade. He didn't sign. He picked up nabby off of waives. He DOES try. That's why i know he will try now. Hopefully he is successful.

Snow tried to get ehrhoff so that isn't nothing. He did fail. And yes, they are among the issues I have, including the three goalie fiasco and capuano.

Its nice that you actually believe this, I unfortunately can't. My head won't let me as well as his track record. I have to sleep but it seems you're already giving Snow a pass for next year? He did say by year five didn't he? You're already giving him a pass by calling it short sighted on his very own claim. I'll never get this blind following for Snow? Good night

Again, I don't love snow. Just think he gets bashed too much. Long term, he isles actually have a plan. Do we want a Brian Burke type? What is the leafs future? No great prospects, no defense, no goaltending and he is willing to trade away farm. They have no long term plan.

we already discussed PA and Moulson and I'll give credit where its due but come one m an, let it go. I'm not going to sit here and go on line to find the answer to that. All I know is this team is disgusting and I am embarrassed by this team. I've beea fan since the seventies and this is a disgrace. This is his baby, plain and simple. There is no excuse.

We have a plan? come on. Draft, pick up washed up vets. Play DP have him help destroy another season, reapeat. Thats the plan. Welcome to hell

No pass. He needs to upgrade this team to playoff caliber for next year. No more just trying for him. Now is the time. You have enough of a supporting cast that one big forward move and upgrading the defense can get you to playoffs.

I just don't think five years to win a cup is realistic. To make playoffs, yes. They must next year. Make no mistake about my blindness if you will, if it's October and team isn't upgraded and we have the same coach I'll be livid
