Dee Karl: Josh Bailey Files for Arbitration Here we go again.

Trade his ass off the Island... bring in Grabovski!!!

this is sort of a good thing. No one can offer sheet him once he's filed. The Isles can work out a deal with him before arbitration. However it's a bad thing if they can't because he'll get a 1 year deal and I don't know how many rfa years he has left.

Who in their right mind would offer sheet Josh Bailey?

why not?

If he plays on the same line as KO and Fran's then he feels he should be paid similar.

I agree...Grabovski would be a good fit...

Garth should have traded Bailey to St. Louis for David Perron. He probably would have had to give up a pick because Perron is probably better.

He hasn't even proven he belongs in the NHL, I cant imagine any NHL GM that feels they need Josh Bailey on their team so badly that they will offer sheet him.

I was completely convinced this year that this summer would be the summer of sanity for GM's after a lockout and a lower salary cap. Now, I see it's business as usual and a good number of these idiots are likely addicted to the shopping channel.

perron gets hurt a fair amount, not sure I'd see him as an upgrade.

You're out of your mind. If anyone messes with your boy Snow they are immediately exiled. Reminds me of the liberal morons in my country these days. React with no basis.

It is a good thing bcs the arbitrator is not going to give him huge dollars for his potential.

I like Grabovski but we could get him and keep Bailey.

Nice to get Grabo, especially if he's looking for short term contract to prove himself.

Also nice to advance prospects. Good video with interviews of Strome, DeHaan, Reinhart:

NY178 has got me pumped about DeHaan. Hopefully he can stay injury free.

Well, scratch him off the list either way.

What does NY178 know about hockey... According to EK he doesn't have the right stuff to be a Hockey Buzz blogger...

that's good stuff!! I guess all of my awards and 13 years of working in sports journalism and I cant get a gig writing on a website that makes poop up

Miller for Nabokov, Bailey and a 2nd?

Seriously though what's the story on Bailey? He seems like a Cody Hodgson type player. Great hockey IQ, lacks elite skating, but makes plays.

Tukka Rask eight-years worth $56m.

Wow!

You should talk to Gallof, he has I thought a pretty good new magazine on hockey he is trying to market...I think it's called Hock.ly...he was looking for some people to write articles for it...
