It means two things. 1. The Isles still lack someone to punch pucks into the back of the net. 2. The Isles are going to be pushed around and bullied another season because nobody seems to feel the dire urgency to find someone who can take care of business. It is espec...

Scott Howson has already came out and said he might have another FA signing tonight. He also said that they are extremely happy with their blueline now and are focusing on forwards. So any rumours of Jackets and defensemen are prob...

There’s one in particular that really confused me and many others. Jeff Finger. FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS. I decided to hold off on commenting until I heard the team’s rationale.
