I have been wrong before... but I really think Subban is a special player and is going to have a Breakout type year. It would be a great move for the isles to somehow grab him. That said I don't see it happening.

would you give up Reinhart for him?

No need to give up any prospects........sign his butt to 5 million and give up two picks (two picks they can well afford to part with).

I would love to have him to plus he is close friends with JT.

I Also heard that Hickey and JT played together at one time so who knows there as well

Def wont happen cause Garth doesnt wanna ruffle any feathers. He's still a new GM and doesn't wanna be locked out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEtZvcMiDKA 23 years old.. had a great rookie year and a sophmore slump. I would love to see this kid on our team. Especially b/c he is the same age as the other Core guys like JT, Ok, Bailey, etc.... again.. it will not happen but fun to think about.

I think Garth knows he has to make something happen this year. He said it was a 5 year plan.. and he is in the 5th year. Given the lack of respect shown to him by other team's players and GMs.. the whole eddicate nonsense is out the window.

DP will be injured in how many minutes tonight? I give him 5

Is it just the players at camp in the scrimmage? I thought I read somewhere that the Isles were going to play against Bridgeport. That'd be interesting, especially if the Isles went with DP in net to give Bport a chance. Although, Tavares would have a field day with Bport's D...

There is no argument against this kid. The only reason to not make him an offer is because they dont wanna spend. This kid is the real deal. He's someone you build your d around.

Nah, if it's BPort's normal lineup, they'll never get out of their own zone. Trust me, their D gets pinned down for long stretches by some AHL teams' fourth lines. I'd love to see how some of the forward prospects stack up against NHL d-men though.

Keep Redden. I'll take Gomez on a 1 or 2 year deal to play 2nd line center.

We all knew this and they will be Islanders by the end of the night. Garth was licking his chops when they hit the wire. Wang asked Snow how many goals he scored. whenGarth said one Wang said against who. Snow responded Islanders. With that Wang said throw him a multiyear contract.

wouldn't Poulin play goal? If they made DP the goalie for BPT it would be just a bit unfair...

I thought Dee said both will play the whole game...so I'm thinking one of them will play for Bridgeport.

3:42 pm: Ryan Strome and Griffin Reinhart will be playing for Bridgeport in Tonight's Blue & White Scrimmage. Both Rick DiPietro and Evgeni Nabokov will be playing the entire game. Now THIS should get interesting.

oh my bad didn't read the blog. But in all serious if they make DP the goalie for the Isles and Nabby for BPT. BPT has a good shot.
