Seriously, how do you think these posts are related OR in what way does this help you prove your point? Answer the question for once. Your argument is not valid in any way. If you want to come in here and start fights with people than fight. Answer the question.

Do you think either would be a legitimate NHL Dman that can contribute next year or are they being rushed from what you've seen?

i think donovan and dehaan will both be nhl dmen. i think donovan is closer. i think ness is a spare part until all the giants are ready that we have drafted

Again, the Isles fans SELF-Trolling the site..

This guy is unbearable. He just picks someone every day. It doesn't matter whether you're a Snow supporter or hater he will find a way to fight with you. Even if he has to invent something to fight about. Why? It's one thing to throw a couple digs at someone, we all do it. This guys is relentless and more importantly pretty much NEVER right in anything he posts. Even if you do agree with him he will fight with you any way. Obviously something wrong with him/her.

I agree. I think Donovan or DeHaan should be able to make the team. Donovan does sound like he is ahead of Dehaan.

BP is going to have some gigantic blue line in the next few years

Nah. Usually doesn't bother me that much. Pretty annoying today honestly though. Besides, I'm not the type. Fight my own battles.

That is one of the problems, these days. You can't punch a guy in the face anymore... He will sue you, even if he did deserve it..

I miss the old days.

I hear you and agree. Some fights are best settled the old fashioned way. There are a lot of people walking around out there that NEED a punch in their face. It would actually help them.

Forget about reporting the posts, I think they need to find a room and get all this tension over with.....

i don't think ness is a realisitc nhl prospect at this point..its between donovan and de haan to make the roster imo

I think Matt Donovan is going to be a MUCH better player than anyone on here will believe... I said this before last season and I am sticking to it. He will make this team and never look back. (one of the few times I was right on here was when I said the same about Hamonic 2 years ago.. )

Donovan could have been on team last year... DeHaan is clearly more skilled offensively but I really really like Donovan and think he will be very solid 5/6 d-man for Isles.

I hope history repeats itself on this one

Most of the posters have already anointed Donovan to the starting lineup, so this is kind of a redundant point.

It definitely wouldn't have hurt our blue line, that's for sure. It was pretty despicable last year. Maybe the worst this team has ever had?

Start counting down to the 2013 draft lottery

debbie downer...somehow in your demented world the islanders season is over on july 5th....3 months before it begins.

his skating and offensive upside is off the chart..he needs to make better decesions in his own end and he does get squirrly with the puck at times but his upside is very encouraging

the funny thing is in bport de haan was MUCH better in his own end and actually pretty physical

You're speaking to the choir on that one...for some reason the Islanders want to be a NY team but they spend like they are in KC...I would either pay Semin or go all in on Ryan...
- kear20

my guess is because they are located in New York

He didn't look bad when he was up. Made a nice first pass and was a good skater. With that said it was only a few games so I can't jump the gun on him. I think we all know we're going to have to see a bigger body of work.

That was a response to us having a blogger...

you cant assume anything here.....

There was an in between period show on him during one of the games last year and said they were focusing on improving that aspect of his game.

We have to spend like we're in Minnesota.

Sounded good a day ago.

As they say in baseball, the players you mentioned are prospects...that's all they are. It doesn't mean they are all going to make the NHL and be stars. Look at Nino, he has bust written all over him. How can you play 5 minutes a night be a -27...that is pretty hard to do. I bet Nelson and Kabonov will have a better year at Bridgeport and will pass him on the depth chart. I think it will be hard to get Ryan now anyway...too many other teams are in the mix. The way the team looks right now, they are looking a top 5 draft pick.
- kear20

as i was reading this i started highlighting everything that was unintelligent, not logical or just downright retarded....this is the result

1) prospects are prospects in baseball, football, hockey, basketball, soccer, golf, swimming, lacrosse, badminton, chess.....not JUST baseball

2) "nino has bust written all over him"....not even touching that

3) ill take that bet....

4) 3 months before the season starts and youre jumping off the bandwagon...nice having you!!

You are quite possibly the biggest douche that has ever been on this site. I did not say it was a great contract you half wit. What I said was that we need to start signing some players because at this point our defense is laughable. You are an absolute tool box. Stick to Lamarelllo, Brooks, and Dolan and front loaded contracts. So many people on here seem intrigued by your posts. You are a very likable person and people seem to like chatting it up with you.
- Cptmjl

im not agreeing or disagreeing but you cant be upset that the isles didnt get carle and then say it was a bad contract and the isles shouldnt have overpaid for him....
