Don't you get tired of cutting and pasting this same post year after year?
- Vukota

I should start doing that... because as long as this stupid convo is going to pop up.. the answer is always going to be the same.

You make great points as always UIF I just think it's time for Poulin to be the backup. Let him watch and learn from Nabby and bring him along slowly.
- ses111

Bringing him along slowly would be letting him start in the A, not getting 20 games as a back up

Post of the day, I really can't imagine something beating this. No offense x, you the man

None taken... it will be the same answer every season as long as he is on the team, which should be quite a few more.

DP should spend the rest of his career in the press box, or in the blog box cutting coupons with Dee.
- NewYawkIslandez

Agreed... but that wont happen as long as he's under contract.

He's had his starts in the Bridge. Time to see what he can do on the NHL level. Nilsson can get the starts in Bridge.

Kevin is 22 y/o with 64 starts over 2 seasons in the AHL. The only person that would benefit from him backing up Nabby is Anders Nilsson.

Yes, we would be happy to let you unload that monstrosity of a contract on us for our best defenseman and our 4th overall pick.

Ill take both!

But yes... barrett

Poulin should not need another year in bridge. I would be worried if he did. DP should be the clear guy to go to the minors. If he can somehow beat out these kids that's a big problem.
- ses111

poulin has flaws...if they are not corrected soon i don't see him more than a average starter or good backup..

None taken... it will be the same answer every season as long as he is on the team, which should be quite a few more.

Sad but probably true

Good article by Scott Cullen of TSN on the Islanders off season plans...don't forget to click on the writer's projected roster for 2012-13...I'm sure you will all have a lot of comments...

Thanks for the plug, Dee...very much appreciated!

Why would u and Dee do this to Kasper... This is going to ruin his whole week.

This whole situation is one of the many reasons why the Islanders are considered a joke. DiPietro is a very wealthy man and needs to be a man and step up and just work out his retirement with Wanger, afterall they are good buddies right? Wang made his deal right? Wasn't Snow, it was Wang. Remember? I'm sure these good buddies could work something out.
- Cptmjl

I have to think the only reason that has not been done is b/c of new CBA. The Isles are looking to see if the new CBA has a 1 contract get out of jail free card. XX there is no shot DP is an islander this year.. NONE

After being banned for a few days I come back and the first article is about Rick Dipietro. I swear God hates me. Again and I have been saying this for years and years. RICKY D IS DONE!!! He has more surgeries then a dog that has gotten hit by a car. He is more fake then PAmela Anderson. He is more robotic parts then ROBO COP he is done!!! We should not be having this converstaion anymore in regards to Rick D/ This year he will either be bought by the CBA rule thingy or release or whatever. MAybe he can play goalie for the Chinese Hockey League. Keep him away from my team at all costs. He does nothing to benefit this team and never will. He was amistake when his name was announced and still is today. We have so much talent in the goaltending position it is not funny. So to my buddy Rick D good bye friend nice knowing you and dont let the door hit you in the ass as you go out with your head up high. Oh and dont forget you can always be a model they love fake people

Hopefully thats what it is. Don't be too sure about DP not being an Islander this year, we've all seen this show before.
