That's the beauty of the Isles. Nothing ever makes sense. Keeps all the other teams confused and on their heels. That's our GM. Smarter than every one else.

Well we will have an assistant signed in the next 2 days so now we need one up front and for the pp

I'm not losing sleep over Martin not being on the team but I do understand your point. They were a formidable line whether anyone wants to admit it or not. What I find funny was the fear of paying Martin too much money. After not signing him Snow went on to re signing Cizikas and Clutterbuck to moronic contracts. Snowsense

Exactly cpt

Don't forget the 5.5 for 7 he gave Ladd, That will be even worse, give it time

No one wins every fight but if MM lost to him then anyone one the current Isles roster would get their head handed to them, that's for sure.
Hey simply stated he matched all the criteria Ses, mentioned. Play well on the fourth line check, and fight if needed, check.

Now since I don't know Morse code.......

Yeah, I understood your point about Martin meeting ses's criteria. But I know ses well enough that I suspect he'd be happier with someone who is a real enforcer. We saw how Matt Martin evened the score with Tom Wilson after Wilson ended the career of Viz...........oh wait, I must have missed it.

Also, let's not forget how great our vaunted 4th line played in the playoffs against Florida and Tampa.........oh wait, I must have missed that, too.

Snow may be an idiot, but even idiots occasionally stumble onto the right decision.

Thats true the 4th line was just as effective without him Team had the same grit, I mean with Ladd and Lee being bounty towels and "absorbing" punishment

Now go take your Geritol you



edit: I think the fact that Babcock and Lamoriello signed him shows they thought that MM does have a job that is important to a team. I go with their thoughts over snows any day.
