Strome, Nilsson,Poulin, neiderreiter,Reinhardt, Nelson,kabonov,mayfield all aren't here yet. It's painful,it sucks but they are building a team that can be very good for a long time. Not to mention JT,Hamonic, Amac,Okposo,Bailey,Grabner,Martin are all 25 and under, and Moulson and Neilson arent 30 yet. Their all star goalie had career decimating injuries as well which has set them back. It's taken longer than we all have wanted but when Snow took over this team had 2 prospect and that was okposo and Neilson. Now they are top 5 in the NHL in that department. Throw in the fact that no one wants to sign here, what exactly did you expect? Snow basically took over an expansion team. - Isles316
Let's face it though...if winning of any kind, for the present or future, was a priority here, DP would have been bought out along with Redden and Gomez on the day it was allowed. That speaks volumes to me. |

No question the prospects seem very promising but until they prove it at the NHL level they are not 100% a sure thing. The fact is the Isles are still going to need to trade and sign quality FA's. I understand now signing quality FA's is not an option but some useful trades should have happened by now. |

They have no problem bringing up Cizekas, but bringing Nino up is a problem? Huh? |

Ek just picked Isles to make the playoffs in the 8th spot I wish I could see this happen but I would be beyond - ses111
Just proves he has zero idea what he is talking about. Does he even know who we have or should I say what we don't have on our roster? He probably still thinks we have Richard Park on the team that's why he picked us? |

I really hope that is the case from Wang but I'm not buying it right now. One look at our D should tell you this is not a playoff team. For the Isles to make the playoffs there would need to be big time injuries from more then a few teams and a massive dropoff in play from more than a few. - ses111
Playoff team? We aren't even close to being a legit NHL team let alone playoff team. |

Nabokov in goal, Capuano says. Keith Aucoin will play -- likely means Reasoner out. Capuano says game time decision on 18 skaters. #Isles - Vukota
Let me show you my shocked face... Nabokov in goal is a no brainer...we should only see DiPietro this year on the end of bench wearing an Islanders baseball cap...the only time he should get ice time is if we're losing 5-0...outside of that forget about it. If Nabokov gets hurt then Poulin or Nilsson (sp) should come up and start...maybe that will give DiPietro a hint that we don't want him... |

Just look at the size difference between the Isles and the rest of the division. Isles will be lucky not to break down after 5 games. |

So, people have a problem with "rushing" Nino, but no problem "rushing" Cizekas or Ullstrom? |
