*Thinks we just found LI serial killer*

hes going to get moved at some point. its just how these things play out.

maybe it wont be for awhile-but now that its leaked, its just more of a distraction and more incessant questions

snow doesn't have to get ripped off by any means. but I don't see him getting equal value. and ill bet isles fans are even less stoked on the return

I don't disagree with you. Can anyone name a trade where the guy who requested it gets equal value back for his team? I can't think of one.

I don't blame you, this totally (frank)ing sucks.
Go get yourself a nice cow!

this is sorta the crux

considering all the factors of his value to you due to contract/age/your aim at cups asap etc etc, and then the pieces the teams hes requested to go to have to offer you--its going to be very tough to get equal value back in terms of nyi's needs now

I disagree. Things don't leak out of the Islanders. If this made it to the papers it was no accident. Snow is going to fire up a nice bidding war. Young, top quality defensemen like Hamonic with his contract situation are rare. GM's are going to be licking their chops. Snow & Co. always play hardball...I'm sure that Travis has been read the riot act that this is a business and the team's well-being comes before his own. I'm sure they'll accommodate him if they can, but they're not going to get bent over.

Unfortunately you're probably right. Im hoping for the best but certainly not expecting it. Who knows maybe we'll be better off in the end...

Requested trade or demanded?

It's funny I looked at this thread and saw a large number of posts very quickly and though what is wrong with this team now?

Yeah the stripers are running down here. My neighbor is a die hard fisherman and when he was telling me I thought he was having an orgasm.

I just knew it was not good.

It will be a distraction wether a request or demand. The media will be all over this and his team mates will be questioned about it and address it and bottom line it WILL be a distraction and bottom line again the Islanders aren't getting more value in return because he requested a trade versus demanding as Snow doesn't have to make a trade which is the bottom line here and wether it's a request or a demand so just LET IT GO YOUR WRONG.

I'm pretty sure I could come in here and post "The Islanders are a great NHL team" and you would argue against it just for the sake of arguing with me.

Agreed with a slight bit of islander fan pessimism.

I have to think Garth is going to be real careful with this deal. This could frank up the season and that's not good with new owners on the way.
