- Eklund



Hate to admit, but the Isles are a FRANCHISE worth buying now only bc of the situation that will become after they leave the coliseum lease deal.

With a marketing ELITE STAR PLAYER in Tavares and going into a new arena with the entertainment revenue stream the NYC can provide, its simply a no-brainer.

If this team had a responsible owner & capable GM were $$$ was issued to help fill-in-the-holes and attract FA's, this team and fans can/will sell-out nightly.
The saying goes," Winning Cures All".
Last year's PO's proved how the fans showed up & rocked the barn and the place became electric!!!!

If the islanders had a better owner they wouldn't be in this situation, it would be damn shame if they relocated I have zero doubt with a better management team from the owner down the isles will be a thriving franchise. You guys want Kevin Lowe?

Some of you need to get with the times. They signed a 25 year lease with Brooklyn almost 2 years ago. They are not going anywhere

People knew about the devils being sold and who the ones who were trying to buy them and even clearer a couple weeks before they were sold to who they were going to

Therefor that secret rule doesn't seem to apply

I think it's because there is no such rule. What do I win?
