Leo, Hickey Ladd that's over 10 million in dead money and that's what's preventing Lou from doing anything. They would have really been facked if JB didn't get hurt. I just don't see much change in this roster until the second season at Belmont when they have a ton of money coming off the books. It's crazy that they have 8 million buried in the minors. That's your first line winger cash

True. UFA contracts next year will hopefully reflect that.

These players that were cashing out for the last few years precovid are taking it on the chin.

Martin didn’t have to be resigned we could’ve thrown someone else in there aka Johnston who is still signed this year and next but that’s of course debatable but then that makes Johnston’s contract redundant. Komarov is obviously overpaid for what he brings along with Hickey who isn’t playing in the nhl and at the time was a ridiculous contract and term. Also, I didn’t mention two guys I mentioned four that were unnecessary salaries arguably save for Martin even though we already have a similar player in Johnston signed. Yes, agreed Ladd is of course a terrible contract but Im referring to players that were signed to contracts that were defended on here hence why I didn’t even bring that clown up.

Summed up it was a waste of cap space which is always at a premium even before covid. Also, I don’t love Bailey but at least he’s a contributing player.

I like the Martin contract he contributes he stands up for his teammates. It's a good signing. Ladd Komarov Hickey and could I even say Nelson are horrible contracts. Nelson when he is playing well is a dynamic player he scores be plays both ends of the ice. When he is off his game he is a liability. Yesterday he was completely invisible in a 7 goal explosion he had no points in the game.

Thats why I said “arguably” for Martin’s contract I understand a lot of people are fine with his contract. I don’t dislike Martin I just don’t like his term and the contract as a whole really but I get it. My point is we don’t need Johnston and Martin. We didn’t need to sign Komarov to that stupid contract along with Hickey. That’s dead money that wouldn’t have been spent on a roster spot because it’s literally dead money.

I dont understand Nelson at all. When he is on his game he is unstoppable. And now he is a liability. Hopefully he can turn it on at some point

Tragic news today as #Isles and former #NJDevils goalie Cory Schneider lost his 14 year old nephew in a house fire last week, leaving his family with nothing


Yikes, that's brutal. Explains why Skarek was pulled up to the taxi squad.

If it were up to me, I'd roll with Varly tonight to put them in the best position to win and let Sorokin go tomorrow. At least that way, if they win tonight, even if Sorokin doesn't get the job done tomorrow they'll finish the weekend as a wash.

Well Varly lost the last two Pittsburgh games so maybe he gives sOrOk1n the start?
