Brutal... really feel bad for islanders fans. He is a joke.

It is a bit too much, but this means the Islanders are going all in. Which would be fun to see. Duchene is next I guess.

Oh jesus knock it off. This is the biggest overreaction ever.

Just think of all the time and effort Garf put into that!

I've stopped careing long ago.

Cappy's gone but Snowball remains.

When he's gone. I'll give a $h!T again.

Until then, I'll sit back and marvel.

That's the price to protect their trade assets and they should have about 11 million in cap space now. It is what it is

@frank_seravalli
Lots of chatter #nyislanders pushed to move Grabovski's $5M to possibly make a play for both Eberle and Duchene. Interesting next few days.

Have to see what happens in the next couple days before we can really say whether it was worth it...

Not really.

There were 10 more lines to fill! That would have been overreacting!


It's just so typical SNOW!

I didnt expect any different.

Which one of those pieces was the one that made it too much? The 2nd round pick in 2019? You expecting there to be some real studs in the 2nd round of a draft two years from now?

Or was it the defenseman we picked in the 7th round 5 years ago and still hasn't made it to the NHL?

Agreed, but after that I'm expecting him to go full Milbury. I don't think it will be pretty.

That's not a good deal.

draft picks are overrated for sure

- Dan Petriw

Honestly Dan, it seems steeper than we all thought, however let's see what the other protection deals are so we have something gauge the price Snow paid.
Again sitting here right now it was a steep price to basically take Grabo.

Agreed, but after that I'm expecting him to go full Milbury. I don't think it will be pretty.
- JimmyP

I agree. I just worry how the D will look after the deals.

I really don't think this is that bad at all.

*ducks for cover*

When broken down this way it seems reasonable:

#isles paid 1st to Vegas to not take good NHL players & take Berube; 2nd & ok prospect to get rid of grabo $$--5 mil cap space.

That's not a good deal.
- tomburton99

No, but it's only a little higher than the going rate. Snow needed to clear cap space and he did, now it's on him to add major pieces.

It's not.

If your happy with whats gone down. God Bless ya.

Until I see Snowball actually improve this team.

He'll get no respect from me.

You can pat him on the back all you like and speculate (as fans have 4 ever) that he's brewing some blockbuster deal. But until that day comes.

I'll continue to laugh at this 1/2 A$$ GM.

Yikes, I'm used to Mcfee getting fleeced, not doing the fleecing

No, but it's only a little higher than the going rate. Snow needed to clear cap space and he did, now it's on him to add major pieces.
- eichiefs9

But it's gonna likely take another 1st to get Duchene.

We thought it was only a first and now it's 1st, 2nd, prospect bad but a prospect none the less and JF Berube. I would say steeper than what was expected or leaked the last couple days.

I agree. I just worry how the D will look after the deals.
- ses111

There is still free agency.

I used to be Hamonic's biggest protector but with how often he's hurt and his whole trade request, I'm kinda indifferent at this point. They need to do whatever it takes to keep 91 here.
