Staple knows, as Botta learned, not to give honest opinions or be too critical of Wang/Snow, lest he "loses" his press pass/job and has to go work as Katie Strangs assistant.

Garth's BS double-speak and inability to improve this team, measurably, has to be accountable. It's been 5 years. The team is not much closer to the playoffs than they were. Just for starters, we have an inferior coach....probably ranked 32nd in the NHL.

I really wonder how many games with ZERO attendance would it take for Charles to fire Garth. We as fans are sick of his slick little smile, his chowder-head accent and all his excuses and saying one thing & doing another, his crappy cronies, signed to add "veteran" leadership, which when you add it all up, clearly PROVES he is failing at the job. Most any of us here could have drafted 90% of the same people Garth did, standing on our heads.

If no major, immediate improvement to the team comes from Friday's draft, other than another " Top Prospect" to throw into the pool, then we all need to come to the conclusion that the "Rebuild" is never going to be completed. Garth doesn't have the answers OR can't figure out the ways to improve this team other than by losing each year and getting high picks. A monkey could do the same....sit back and wait and then hold his hands up and say, "What, we didn't make the playoffs? I did all I could.....nobody wants to play for us except the guys who HAVE to play for us.....not my fault - it's a rebuild....old arena......it takes time....due dilligence.....blah, blah,f;in blah"

I'm flucking sick of it. I don't care if he & Charles are the nicest bosses ever and cure cancer and figure out cold-fusion and breed sharks with laser beams on their heads....FIGURE OUT A WAY TO IMPROVE THIS TEAM NOWWWWW! OR YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER WORTHLESS POS!

youre speaking out of both sides of your mouth. your first paragraph is saying to take what staple says with a grain of salt bc he doesnt want to piss anyone off in isles management but then you go on a rant that garth isnt going to do anything and he sucks...

Haven't seen him post in awhile.

I did my part. I got the wolf avatar.

And I occasionally end my post's with...... WOOF, WOOF





Maybe he got Banned??? Meow Meow.

same here....i am the founder; without me there is no wolfpac and everyone is running amuk

Actually Reinhart to the Isles is very possible.

TSN has him ranked fourth overall. Bob Mackenzie, and Pierre McGuire has the Isles taking him @ #4 in their mock draft.

TSN was the source the original poster was quoting that led to the comment which you responded to....

Capt we found THE-HENCHMEN!

To all my friends on here i just want to say you guys are awesome. I love playing around and talking Islanders even though i am out there some times but all in all it is all in good fun. From jimmy who has been teasing me about the Penguins for like forever. it is all good my friend and i enjoy our banter. To niteislander who disagrees with me about everything you are a great guy. To XXNYIXX who has been fighting with me back and forth about DP it is awesome and you know what buttons to push and to every one else who has had knowledge and legit beefs you guys are awesome. One guy I cant put in here is NYI. He has been around since 2006 but for some reason had decided to grace us with his intellect. I hope he knows there is no room for that here at all. Maybe he will chill out but until then to the rest Cheers!! Even you LetsGoIsles.

PHEW!!! i was on the edge of my seat...thought i wasnt going to make it. you squeezed me in at the buzzer

I have strong feeling that we will draft grigorenko because he is ready to play in nhl. He probably would play on second or third line with Nino and Ullstrom.
- ISLES1119

nino and ullstrom are FAR from locks to making it on the team.....

haha....i cannot take credit for being "THE HENCHMEN"....i was just the brains behind the idea....the sheep ran with it

- LetsGoIsles

Why? Ullstrom looked good last year. I can't say the same for Nino. I would understand that Nino would start in AHL but Ullstrom should have a chance of playing for Islanders this year.

Clearly one of Kasper's kids has gotten on his computer.
- niteislander

No I trained my kids not to like him either. He hates him as much as me

Dude you are a ok with me. I like being corrected. LOL.

- ISLES1119

i dont disagree about ullstrom and assuming he has a solid camp im 100% happy with him on the team, im just saying he isnt a lock....

what a predicament i find myself in...who do i believe?

Staple - Isles will lay low during FA
EK- Isles are pursuing Jokinen.....

hmmmmmm
- LetsGoIsles

The Isles cant lay low.... They HAVE to spend a large amount to reach the cap floor

Nobody knows what the "floor" is going to be. It may go down, go up or stay the same. They may not need to spend a lot to get to the floor.

Don't forget, they have JT's salary nearly doubling this season, DP's absurd deal still on the books and if PAP is brought back, his salary will likely be a shade under four times what it was last year. Factor in the raises in KO and Grabs' salaries, Nielsen's raise, and they may not need to spend too much to get to the "floor", wherever it is.

Striking!

That would make some Wolf Pack member a fine avatar.

WOOF! WOOF!


I think I'll have a shirt made up for Draft Day.

- kasperrko

Staple said in yesterday's chat that he heard there will be an amnesty clause buyout option in it. Not sure if Wang will use it. Nothing set in stone of course.

This can be the beginning of something. Snow would have to meet with wolfpac members before trades and the draft. He wouldn't be able to do anything without consulting the wolfpac first
