You're right, the Ducks are giving him away fro free.. Hence the reason he's still a duck!!

You better hope they are giving him away for free because that's what it's going to take for Garth to get him. Then again Garth would mess that up to.

That's pretty cruel to say X. You know the chances are good we will get him.

He is the second line center & salary that we are going to get, maybe even Komi as well

I'm good with the news from Mr. Staple....there isn't really anyone left worth buying, especially if they're asking for a lot of money, which goes without saying (like I said, Kostitsyn would have to be nearly free of charge, other than incentives, for it to be worth it). As for a trade, let's face it- if there was something worth doing, it would probably have happened already.

If you are a die hard Islanders fan, you have to know this team doesn't make big moves.

For those who think the Islanders have a chance to sign a player like Semin, Don't hold your breath. And for those who get upset that they never do, stop being a fan of the team.

I've learned 2 years ago, it's not worth the aggravation. I bleed Orange and Blue. So I take the team for what it is and hope for the best. And I truly believe if they can stay reasonably healthy, they will be fun to watch. Maybe even fight for a playoff spot.

Once their lease is up and we have a clearer vision of their future, we will start to see some exciting moves. I just hope it's still in the New York area.

You guys want a trade.. that will be a trade.. in fact 2 trades if they get Komi too!!

I know im in the minority here (surprise surprise) but id rather Gomez over Olli Jokinen for our second line

Getting Komi lets us keep one of Donovan or deHann in BP.

just pointing out really one of the only scenarios i can see to get us where we need to be, unless he is going to try & sign a RFA... which i dont see happening. not trying to destroy a friendship!!

I just puked in my mouth, how about Thomas? That's right up Snow and Wangs alley. The other players they signed last year did more damage playing then they would have sitting in the press box.

We can't give away that much, not yet. We are still rebuilding.

Ask Montreal if he's a second line center. I have a feeling they may disagree with you?

This is the problem right here. As for the second bold, what makes you think that? Just a hunch?

I give a rats ass what they want to tell me?? He's not working out there.. yha that happens. He didnt suck for a decade in NJ. And since Garth has inquired about Gomez multiple times over the last couple years... its not beyond the realm of possibilities he cures 2 of the teams needs.. Salary & a second line center

Why would we want to keep Donovan or Dehaan in Bridge? I rather see one of them than Komi. You know the Wolfpack wants better trades than this X and do you really expect Snow to make 3 trades in an offseason? I rather Snow do nothing than bring in Gomez or Komi.

At this rate the World will end before this lease. Life is short I would like to enjoy this team before 2015.

One of you little rascals was bltching earlier in this blog that if we are done making moves donovan & dehaan will be rushed into the line up.... just pointing out they would have to battle it out in camp with Komi in the lineup...

At this point Donovan or DeHaan should not be rushed. There not 18. It makes no sense to have guys like Gomez or Komi block young guys for this year or next. Isles should make an impact move or close or nothing. Just adding any player does nothing.

Donovan had his time in Denver and a year in Bridge. I'm all for not rushing guys but let's not baby them to extreme either.

The guy is no longer a second line center, he's not even a functional NHL player. Why the faith in Gomez who has failed every where he has gone since he left Jersey?
