John Tonelli for HOF

Iranians, I mean Uranians, no I mean Ukrainians for the HOF.

With this season all but mathematically over. My question to the masses is who can help this team right this ship. Everyone says we need a scoring winger, but who is this player? Everyone says we need a top four defenseman, but who is this player?

I would say Devon Toews but he’s a top 2.

Isles should target Toews and Eberle over the summer, they'd be great additions

You know who else would be a good addition, Halak. Only if they trade Varly though.

Most on here we’re shockingly ok with it between the playoffs he just had and the salary implications. I thought it was a terrible trade from the day it happened and got attacked for it by the usual suspects.

Kyle is having a resurgence in Buffalo?

The return was fair value at the time.

That being said, they should’ve moved Leddy instead.

Which was my angle. I went as far as saying if we had to include a mid rd pick so be it.

Alas, what’s done is done.

As far as actual targets the Islanders could pursue, I’d be all over Hampus Lindholm. Plays the left side, can skate well and is only 28 years old.

Pelech-Pulock
Lindholm-Dobson
Salo-Mayfield

Adding him created a youthful, yet experienced defensive core.

Would love Lindholm and Forsberg. 😍😍

Well yes of course oh look there’s Mr. Revisionist history now above your post.

I would say most definitely but he may not be alive I think he played in the Ukrainian league.

Would love Lindholm and Forsberg. 😍😍

Dunno if the organization can afford both. Could probably afford Lindholm and Rakell perhaps.

Though if they dealt Bailey…

I honestly thought the Toews trade was b/c of the expansion draft and they figured they would lose him anyway.. b/c could only protect 3 d-men. The $$ was a factor but as Lou proved last summer u can always figure sht out when you need cap space.

For him to then move Leddy though and expose Eberle made zero sense... just keep them all and allow them to take 1 of the Toews, Leddy, Ebs..etc. It just doesn't make sense.

Toews is still talking how he respects Lou though which is shocking. They traded him 2 days after he got married with the whole friggin team at the wedding. It's just nuts to me...

Can’t wait for the day to read these three words!!

Maybe that stupid Flap thing he did against the Caps just infuriated Trotz so much it put him on the Trade list... b/c he was certainly furious about it. (Isles were up 3-0 against the caps and Toews scored and did that Kuznetsov bird after the goal. Caps came back and won in OT).
