Dee Karl: So Much Isles Talk for July! Shouldn't we space these discussions out instead of having them all in one week?

Shouldn't we space these discussions out instead of having them all in one week?

First and I got two picks in my keeper league of 35 years. I have #1 and #9 in the first round and if the draft was today it would be Dal Colle and Ho Sing

Call me crazy but Dal Colle reminds me of Bossy and Ho Sing of my favourite Dim Sum

Tyler Myers, Luke Adam and Torrey Mitchell for Ryan Strome, Josh Bailey and Griffin Reinhart... what say you, Isles fans?

Islanders get a new #1 D-man (Myers) under a reasonable contract for 5 more seasons... BTW, also does not exceed the annual pay of JT. Mitchell is more suited for a 3rd or 4th line Center role than Bailey, whose contract exceeds his recent production. Strome is still unproven and Reinhart won't be Myers for at least another 2-3 years at the earliest. It's the price you pay for proven, young talent under contract for an extended period of time. Proven with upside vs Prospect potential?

A few weeks back, Ek wrote a blog about the Islanders going after the Sedin Twins. Since then, he only gave us a "More To Come" Anyone, ANYONE have anything on this or was Ek full of it?

No way I do that if I'm the Isles. Strome and Reinhart are both top 5 picks with #1 center and #1 dman potential. Bailey's numbers aren't awful and the potential is still there. .

In return the Isles get two spare parts and a young dman who does have upside, but otherwise is five years removed from his best season and is a #2-4 on the better teams in the league.

Myers might land you one of Strome or Reinhart, not both.

If you can explain to me realistically how this possible trade makes sense for 2 top tier prospects while your biggest fish is a underachieving Myers...???
But since you are a Sabres fan from Melbourne, FL.... Then my bad and I understand where your coming from....

Sorry Not so Sorry... try again tho....

Not even 1 of them... Only bc he's been underachieving w/a big contract which doesn't merit a top tier prospect. Could still fetch something but not any teams top prospects for sure!!!

Edit: would you trade TT for Myers??

WHOA! Dont be hatin' on Melbourne, FL! Northrop Grumman and the aerospace industry brought a lot of us New Yorkers to this town. You'd be surprised how many Isles fans I run into here.

But yeah, that trade proposal was terrible and he should feel shame...

Adam and Mitchell are steaming piles of waste, yet you think that we're going to give up Ryan Strome and Reinhart for them? jesus this is one of the worst trade proposals I've ever seen.
