I will be petrified he lights it up somewhere else... the skill is there

It is but I’m not. If he doesn’t do it this time around with us he’ll never do it with us imo. He’s had enough chances.

The only issue with trading Ho Sang is that his value, in a trade, will always be almost nothing. No GM is giving up something valuable for a young guy with, whether they're true or not, perceived attitude problems and that doesn't play defense. It almost doesn't make sense to trade him, because the 3rd and 5th round picks we'd probably get for him are worth exponentially less than what he could turn out to be.

Is that not what you were just talking about with him?

no... that was 4 years ago in 2015... the 5 times it's been said since was false. Like last year when I-bob reported it.

Buy you're right let's bring it up every time we mention his name that 4 years ago in his first camp he over-slept. BUST!!!!!

Yep, just plotting the Islanders untimely demise with all my other co-conspirators.

I mean talking about things and stuff. Yeah. Things and stuff.

Which was false.. but spread everywhere.. Including I-bob. Staple even addressed it and said it was 100% False.

with his 26 goals in 150 ahl games my guess will be that he will be lighting it up somewhere in Europe

be that as it may
the kid still has other issues and has not performed the way they hoped im not a fan of his but there is no denying he had some real talent that he has been squandering

Maybe. Or, since he is more of a playmaker than a finisher, some NHL team will match him with a sniper and he might end up with a ton of assists. Still hoping that team is the Islanders....

His problem is that he wants to make the World's Greatest Pass on every play, no matter where he is on the ice and what the situation around him is. Talent, attitude, and everything else aside, I think it'll be tough for any coach to trust a player who's a coin flip on every shift as far as whether he'll create a beautiful goal or a terrible turnover.

you have a better chance of an Eck rumor coming true

He’d probably be a hit in the Asian league. No racist.

All fair points. Seems like Barzal started off that way, too, but it seems he is more coachable....

I was seriously asking. I don’t care about his tardiness i care about his on ice play.

I can see it.

- JohnScammo

Right...even coming off a monster rookie year, it still took Barzal a good part of last season to earn Trotz's trust on things like that, but he did earn it in large part because he is more coachable. He still makes mistakes, but he's built trust by buying in and giving it his best effort to change.

So sending him back to juniors for being late on day 1 of camp a few years ago was false?
- kindlyrick

Kids been late for the Bus in Bridgeport after that. I don’t know where the he hasn’t been late for years comes from

Problem is he makes offensive plays for both teams
