I wouldn’t mind seeing female genitalia as a mascot every night. Would have to leave boxes of Kleenex under the seats for some of the fans though.

Patrick Maroon at $900K is a far better value than Leo Komarov at $3.5M or whatever he’s making. Unreal.

Leo $3 mil a year.. let's not make it worse.. lol

At least you know he won't get hurt with that cage on .

What if the Islanders or Oilers mascot is a female genitalia?

You can accomplish the same thing by watching Kucherov.

It’s too bad the position we’re in bc we could add some nice value this offseason if not mired with some of these contracts. The difference between winning and winning consistently IMO.
- TogaIsles

Yeah, but the cap was supposed to go up to ~5 mil. this year and then it’s taken away with no warning.
Makes your bad contracts worse for sure.

Will definitely adjust the price of these contracts going forward for a couple years.

Take this for what it's worth but...
hearing one option #Isles may be considering is trying to move Semyon Varlamov and then re-signing Thomas Greiss to pair with Ilya Sorokin.
Again, nothing concrete. But got nothing else for you right now.

The Islanders have kept lines of communication open with Brassard, Greene & Martin. Hearing they've also kicked tires on UFAs Dadonov & Namestnikov, among others. Problem for NYI is they've been unable to unload salary, as they also have RFAs Barzal, Pulock & Toews to sign.

So there might be some legitimacy to the Oilers having interest in Varlamov?

I'm fine with Sorokin and Greiss in goal. I'm bummed out Isles have not been able to move money. Lou has to use all his skills and clear some Cap.

Going to be real tough. Was hoping Leddy had good value and during most times he would.

Whatever enhancements did not work as Bellows only got 8 games last year.

It is going to be a very unique offseason. Unpredictable in the extreme.

Can only happen to the Isles. Two games from the Cup and Belmont almost done and no Cap room to make a splash.

Not even sure how we sign Barzal, Pulock and Toews within current roster constraints? What team can take on salary??

We have too many contracts that are not tradable. I don’t mind Boychuk as he’s been a great Islander and at least contributes (plus he and Leddy were great early on when we needed them), but who in their right mind takes on Ladd right now!? Or a couple others?

I think Ladd will be headed to Lou’s Robidas Island imho. Also this threads favorite Komarov may have to be bought out. I know this would be tough to swallow for you all.
Also the RFA’s and UFA’s will need to realize the effect of Covid and either take 1, 2, 3, year deals and wait for better days to cash in on a long term deal. Salaries are not the same as they were last year and they better realize it sooner rather than later. Sucks but it’s the reality.

The islanders have no cap issues. We can just trade Ladd to the Rangers with a fifth.
