Eklund says Islanders are close to shocking the world or something

This generation of players are all friends. They all talk. He likes NY in general. Isles are heavily considered.

Mcd knew he was going to Tampa 2 weeks before it was made official.

So lemme guess..after 50 games with a bareboned roster, and a couple of benchings here or there, playing Cody McLeod most nights, he’s a bad coach?

Gotta give Quinn at least 2 years. He is a good college coach, but usually that does not transition well to the NHL

For me, yup. Not a fan.

he got a 5 year deal, at the minimum he'll be here for 3 of them, not even a question

"settle in with Quinn"

Yea doubt they let him go before 3. I am just saying in terms of judging him as a coach from a fans standpoint

He strikes me as a weird dude

Quite honestly, i think it’s pretty impressive he has this team at .500. He has a defense that makes the D corps of the late 90s-early 00s teams look good

You're probably right.

Tom, congrats on the new gig writing for The Athletic. I don't really get the nom de plume but that doesn't really matter.

But seriously, imagine thinking the Senators aren't tanking when they might trade away 2 out of their 3 best players.

can you imagine not having our first round pick and only having 43 points after 50 games, two best players going UFA?

Yeah, Ottawa has nothing to look forward to. Thankfully we don't have Dorion and Melynk in charge.

edit: Imagine Gorton trading player like Chris Kreider for Mikkel Boedker, Julius Bergman and 6th round draft pick?
