It's BS that Kopitar didn't beat Giroux
- Kopykopykopy

Kopitar would have been nice. I'm buying the Stanley Cup version anyways, but i still dont want Giroux to win

At this current moment it wouldnt matter who your GM was. Your not better than what. 26 other NHL teams.

I bet the oil could beat the isles

Yes? I acknowledge my team sucks. I hate our management but I still believe Parise has a shot to come to Long Island.
- mighty13duck

Just cause the old man played there? Why in the name of Ken Morrow would he want to play for the Islanders?

Giroux's stache will be all over NHL 12.

Hey go over to our blog. You'd think we won the Cup. Lots and lots of Koolaid being drunk. Spiked heavily with Hard Alcohol. Makes my head spin.

He didn't deserve to beat kopy and he doesn't deserve to beat rinne. I agree

With our cap space a severe overpayment. Money talks

Hamonic can qualify as Good D. And I agree Wang is doing a terrible job. I aint arguing this....
- mighty13duck

Im not a fan of Hamonic....

Wangs first mistake was making a backup retire to be the GM Not even a mentor to help him.

2nd mistake was sticking his nose into hockey ops..... he knows (frank) all

They don't get my sarcasm either on here

I don't think he's built that way...He'll get good money no matter where he goes and he'll want a team with Cup winning ability...I don't think he'd leave Jersey if they weren't so damn financially unstable...

- Unholy_Forward

They are going to rebrand NHL 2012 and replace Stamkos with Giroux..

Why won't they just make a new game for 2012... stupid EA Sports.

Neiter do I. But to say no way in hell he signs with the Isles is stupid. You never know.

If snowey snow gave Parise 26 mil a year he would still say no. Parise wants to play for a winner. He doesn't want to play for the isles OR the leafs

Exactly.... unless New Jersey's ownership is worked out within the next 12 days, Parise will hit FA.

Detroit i can see getting both Suter and Parise. They have the cap space, and everyone loves the Wings ownership and management, not to mention how good they are.

Parise - Datsyuk - Zetterberg

Suter - White

scary powerplay

Oh no you didn't
- mighty13duck

Oh yes I did.

No i dont. They got Tavares...... a (frank)ing monkey could have picked him.

They got Grabner...... all right kudos

they sign Dipietro to a 15 year deal..................

EL Nino seems to be stalled, same with Kabanov. Strome should be a beauty though

Okposo is good. They have ZERO good D, except for Streit who is constantly injured
- cor99

1) and a monkey could have picked crosby but at the end of the day they have a great player
2) and moulson
3) DP BLOWS!!!
4) nino stalled?? hardly, hes 19 and PLENTY of time to develop correctly, which is EXACTLY what is going on with kabanov.
5) calling travis hamonic, (to a less extent) andy mcdonald, and plenty of D prospects.

I'd throw the Kings into the mix as well...

Stanley cup championship>being so bad you have a tattoo parlor in your arena
- Kopykopykopy

are you trying to convince everyone that having a tattoo parlor in an arena is the reason why the islanders havent played well???

thats quite a theory youve come up with.....

yea... say that... but trust me ... it will come back to burn you!!!

I know all about that. We have DP signed for the next fifty years.

A monkey did.

Lucky pick. He was free.

Old news. Not relevant any more. He helps us reach the cap floor and collects a Paycheck. End of story.

Kabanov is looking Good. Nino was used foolishly last season. He's very young and should not have been on the team. Even worse. Played on a 4th line with over the hill has beens

KO is well. OK but needs to step it up.

Actually we have some fine "D" prospects. Donovan, Mayfield, Paden are all going to be NHL "D" men someday and Hamonic is going to be a beast.

After all this speculation, just watch....

Lou stays in Van.
Nash stays in Clb.
Suter resigns in Nash.
Parise resigns in NJ.
Everyone drafts at their own picks.
