Any thoughts for the Quebec Islanders new jerseys?

What about a huge bowl of poutine oozing out beef gravy?

Couldn’t be worse than the captain highliner jerseys!

From Eye On Isles:

If the Islanders put Andrew Ladd, Thomas Hickey, Leo Komarov, and Johnny Boychuk in the minors that would bring them from $8.9 million to $13.2 million, clearing up an additional $4.3 million to work with.

If Pulock and Barzal both sign for $6 million AAV against the cap, then that would leave $1.2 million of wiggle room. Keep in mind that’s without the additions of Andy Greene and Matt Martin which still seem highly likely.

Unfortunately, I don’t see a scenario in which the Islanders could get by with burying those contracts. Adding Ladd to LTIR while burying the other three? Now that makes it a little more interesting.

That would essentially open up $17.6 million in cap space if they did that which seems much more doable. Assuming the combination of Barzal and Pulock falls between $12 million and $14 million that could allow for somewhere between $5.6 million and $3.6 million to get guys like Martin and Greene signed.

Ideally, you probably want to trade one of those guys to clear the entirety of the cap hit but if you can’t the best option would likely be Hickey, Komarov, and Boychuk to the AHL and Ladd to LTIR.

That is the most logical approach I have heard so far.

Bruceflyers must be one sad state of affairs mofo. Can you believe he goes on every site embarrassing true Flyers fans who do not in any form or fashion support his moronic views.

I think Pulock gets between 6 and 8 and Barzal 8 on a short term. I feel for all teams having to pay these enormous contracts without a gurarantee of fans in the building for maybe a long time. Worse yet no hockey for a couple years.
