ill give you that it is laughable, but to me it scares the hell out of me....all i hear when he says that is, "I HAVE NO INTENTION OF RETIRING ANYTIME SOON!!!!"

If I am Snow I let him go through the preseason when he is out played by everyone in front of him and behind him bring him in the office and say DP you ARE DONE!! As your GM and friend here are your options. Sit on the bench for the rest of the year or fake injury. It really is up to oyu but your services are no longer needed. I mean you have modeling to look forward to and the camps you will be fine

Wang, maybe. I don't think Snow would have drafted 630 goalies if he was all about DP.

Excellent point........but again Rick Dipietro has some nerve talking the way he talks. He's got some set...........i cannot believe that he still chirps. At least be humble and say nothing. Otherwise you set yourself up for more criticism.

I hear you. We were light in that position even with a healthy RDP. Evidently not as "light" as we were with defensemen judging by our most recent draft

We are stacked in every position in terms of prospects. How come Snow hasn't made a trade? Maybe he doesn't like talking on the phone.

Our franchise has become so bad that Visnovsky rather play for a team that doesnot want him than the Islanders. But it's the building and the fans....

Before reading todays blog that was the last Dee blog I read. You know? The one where she blamed the fans for the Islanders woes.

Oh I hate when women send this one. "Just wanted to say hi, bored ; ) ". My reply is usually, "just wanted to tell you to go (frank) yourself". (frank)ing texting

Personally.... I think Vis thought he was going to get bought out, and already starting planning to play in Europe.

I hope he does get sent back to Anaheim... we get our second back, plus the Ducks second rounder for compensation.

Is that really the compensation for a bogus trade?

Not sure.... but it seems fair to me.

The Isles thought they were set on defence, because of the trade.

Now they find out they don't have his services after free agency has come and gone.

They could have been working to find another defenceman in the meantime.

The Ducks screwed up here if they lose this.... the NHL has to make it right for everybody involved.

Wait a second. When we first got his guy Snow was a genius and Visnovsky was the second coming of Coffey now we want a second rounder? We need an NHL Dman more than a second round pick.

I just don't understand why the agent didn't say something sooner.

Because Vis is just burning bridges on both sides now.

Makes him look bad... but it should really be between the agent and the team.

I think the trade was a good one... but what kind of compensation will the NHL make they give up?

Don't hold your breath on this one. The NHL doesn't have to do shat and won't unless it's a rule. Said it from the beginning, this trade reeks of BS. We'll see. If his salary somehow counts and gets us to the floor and he doesn't play then my first suspicions were right.

They should compensate but I have a feeling if this holds, the Islanders won't receive anything higher then a 5th round pick

This isn't coming together for you yet? Think Tim Thomas. Get it?

- Cptmjl

We are talking about a 3-4 defenceman with a 5.6 million dollar hit.

Both the Isles need...

Without him... Garth has to go back to work...
