No way can I see the Sens trading him.

yup...not even sure how karlssons name got involved. why would the senators entertain ANYTHING involved him?

If you can get a 23-24-25 year old d-man for your #4 pick who could be part of the team cornerstone on the blueline, make the deal. If Karlsson is made available, or perhaps if the Isles can swap with the Hawks and land Hjalmarsson, it would be difficult to say "no." Players like that would go a long way toward shoring up the blueline albeit in different ways. The former is an all around stud who has Norris written all over him. The later is a proven shut down guy who can help you win games.

Dealing the #4 would make a great deal of sense for the Isles — more this season then ever before.

But at the same time — if Ryan Murray is there at #4 — would you still take a trade or would you grab Murray and call it a day?

Very tough to make a deal if Murray is available at 4.

i know this is why i haven't been posting..the things getting thrown around in here blow my (frank)ing mind sometimes

whats interesting is that mini camp ends before free agency begins. i would say the total opposite of what dee is saying....she thinks its a way to attract free agents; i think its a way for garth to know what he needs and fill the holes....

All I can say is WHY!! ARe you out to torment me? My greatest fear is next Friday when the Islanders make there slection DP will be the one to announce it. I think I will just drop dead.

I dont know why that made me laugh but it did. I should go to the draft and run up to the podium and drop that makes good TV no?

Was that his first injury or the 100th??? That is a normal scene every year. Before the season they pick two players to be on Alert to come out and carry him off the ice. They get extra pay for it

Fans are allowed not to like a player and RD has earned the fan support..or lack there of.

I was never a huge fan of his even before he got injured the first time. I never liked his style of play. Surprised it didn't make me go gray or bald? Can't hate a guy for getting injured though. Unless he attempts to play again this year. Then I'll hate him and not feel bad about it

The player has a resposibility to the team as well. He has to realize he is past the point of no return, and stop being a team anchor..

I agree. I would hope he has finally come to that realization?
