Something tells me instead of going after UFAs next week, we'll be making trades. Not that I mind all the defensemen, at all (not a bad thing), but considering we can never entice any attractive UFAs, and, let's face it, there really aren't many after Weber, but we have a ton of prospects now.

I gotta say.. there was SO much hype about all the moves that would happen going into this draft & during this draft... only 3 or 4 took place... Granted one was quite big including Staal. Very cool that we were one of the teams that made a move & got something VERY needed.

Very pleased with this draft so far.. prior to the draft I didnt want Reinhart at 4 (not that i didnt want him at all) I just thought we could trade down & still get him. Im happy with the pick now... (I wanted Dumba over him tho) VERY happy with the way we are stocking the system with D prospects!!

I have no problem with making trades. I think this is the way to go for the Isles.

I have no problem neither. It's proven we can't get UFAs to sign here.

I'm also surprised with the lack of trades. I hope that changes and the Isles are involved. I like the Reinhard pick.

Niklas Hjalmarsson, and possibly Viktor Stalberg, will be tradedin the next few days per the Chicago papers.

How about Bailey for Stalberg?

I dont want to deal Bailey. I think this is the season for him to flourish. He will do well on the wing.

Saw in the NY Post that Brandon Prust is looking for $6.6 million over 3 years...Rangers don't think he's worth it. He would give the Isles some grit...

Just don't google any of his fights. Your love of his size will go up in flames.
