I see the Islanders missing the playoffs if they don't trade now. I want a trade today or they will be out of the playoffs for sure

We need two forwards unless they move Wahlstrom up - which I am against as I think he’s a great fit with Beau and JGP. Komarov and MDC are not top 6 forwards (or top 12 for that matter). Hopefully moves are made soon while we’re still at the top of our division.

But we have sORok9n and Wahlstrom? No way we lose.

BTW sOROk9n has received an award!

I definitely have faith. Look what he did last year w JGP and Greene. Filled exactly what was needed. I'm thinking we need two forwards and a depth D man but might just end up with one forward in the end. Hickey has held his own and Aho too. MDC could slot third line and move one of Beau or Wahlstrom up - althouh I really like that 3rd line right now which makes me wonder if we might get two forwards.

When's the trade deadline?

All good points. It takes 2 to make the deal work so hopefully Lou can get who he wants. I could see 2 forwards coming as well.

April 12th is the TD

The reason I am concerned is the Flyers have 3 games with buffalo and have 2 games in hand on the Islanders and we have 5 games with Washington

Flyers also have a load of games with Boston, who also has a bunch of games remaining with Buffalo.

Nothing is certain this season, but saying the Islanders are (frank)ed if they don’t make a trade is a bit much. Though I agree that they should make a trade, because they’re almost certainly going to make the playoffs.

7 and schwein having my back. John not so much

I have no doubt the Isles will make the playoffs and will do well. I'm still very much worried about a matchup against a team like Tampa and another team that can really shut down an offense.

I've not watching an Islander game in a long while. More proof I'm not worried about the regular season.

I am saying flyers have 6 points guaranteed vs buffalo and 2 games in hand that is 10 points. We have 5 games left with Washington that is 10 points plus we have several games with the flyers left. We only have 2 left with buffalo and flyers have 3 that extra game Flyers have will be the difference if we lose to Washington.

Trade everyone and start the rebuild. Question is do we fire Lou and Barry?

It's coming down to how we do vs Washington. Flyers with 2 games in hand and the head to head matchups vs the Islanders

Just have to win our games. Play Islanders Hockey and we should be fine. Just have to make the POs and then its a brand new season.
