I am the only one for sure.. but I am happy he is back in B-port. My hope is this last idiocy has finally been his rock bottom moment. He went from being the first call up in B-port to the last b/c of this idiocy. Now I want him to finally realize if he doesn't do EVERYTHING he is asked he will be done in hockey.

If he finally figures it out.. then maybe.. just maybe he can become a dynamic player for the islanders in the future. The Talent is there...

Bad guidance.. Hopefully he tells his Dad and his Dad's buddies to stay in Canada.

Lamoriello said Dobson will not go to World Junior, #Isles can’t afford to lose him now. Wahlstrom only one going.

On Ho-Sang, Lamoriello said JHS reached out to Chris Lamoriello and asked to join BPT. Decision was made by Chris L. and Brent Thompson to bring Ho-Sang back.

Chris L can no longer take over for Lou now.

Theres that aspect as well but I'm referring to his hockey sense, always trying to do too much instead of making the smart simple play. Coulle that with his bad defense and I'm not suprised he never stuck in the nhl

At this point I'm hoping he plays well, puts up some points, and actually drums up some trade value. He'd be a nice piece that nobody would miss if he were moved at the trade deadline.

His value is 0 but I suppose he could be a throw in piece. Incarcerated bob said the devils wanted wahlstrom and sorokin.......hes probably full of shat

If I never read the words "Incarcerated Bob" again I'd be so happy. They were asking for TWO top prospects for a rental, but instead ended up taking a 1st and some spare parts from Arizona. Sounds legitimate to me

Be nice to get Pageau and put him at the 3C and move Brassard to wing with Nelson and Beau.

He’ll be overseas within a year.

I don't think he will ever wear an Islanders Jersey. Unless Lou has gone a bit soft in his old age.

Including Sorokin in a trade will not help.

So if the Devils are cleaning house and will build with Hirsch and Hughes and the young talent they have on top of the 2 first rounders they will have, you gotta to think Simmonds and even Subban are also available for a full rebuild youth movement. I wonder if they would move Palmieri and if so you think he would be a fit for the Islanders?

Yeah they went from Dobson and Sorokin to the pile of garbage they got back instead. Makes sense. So many things we could’ve countered with that wouldn’t have killed us while giving the Devils a much better trade.

There's some speculation Palmieri may be available. He's got term and is very cheap for what he brings. That's one I'd be interested in.

Not sure how likely they are to move him though.

Per source Ilya Kovalchuk wants to sign with a contender and would be OK with a minimum salary. Bruins are interested

Good let them have him. I don't want anything to do with that soft piece of shat when the game gets tough in the PO's.

He's 28 and if they get a nice draft pick and Prospect they may let him go. I don't think they are in any rush to move him but if they are in full rebuild mode then maybe they move him for the right piece/pieces?

I would think he would be a good addition to the Islanders.

Yeah he's not a massive points-producer but the last four seasons, all in NJ, he's posted 30, 26, 24, 27 goals and is on pace for 30 again playing on a horrific team. He'd be a great winger for Barzal.

Signed through next season at a $4.65M cap hit

30 goal scorer at that price is a bargain for sure.
