I doubt he will have Schwartz, and Eberle as his wingers, also, Zucker, and Carter are better than Jarnkrok, and Donskoi in my opinion. I just don’t see him being able to get 30 goals… maybe 20, but not 30. That’s just my opinion,


Gourde won’t be in the lineup to start the season, McCann will likely be the 1C.

I think Wennberg will be the 1c at the start. I believe that’s the main reason why he signed him, and he is a good player!

Wennberg will be 1c, Jarnkrok probs 2c unless McCann impresses but dont put your hopes on that. Pittsburgh literally got Marleau at one point to move McCann to wing. Carter was also acquired the following year to be the 3c as McCann didnt impress again. He in general is better at LW than C. Blackwell will be 3c and Geekie 4c. Then once Gourde comes back he will be 1c, Wennberg 2c, Jarnkrok 3c, and either Geekie or Blackwell at 4c.

The worst part of the Yotes do move is how that will feel for the fans, and the fact that they have some of the best jerseys in the league. I mean they just brought back the Kachina and introduced the purple reverse retro!

Meruelo is a sh*t owner, and this team would be perfectly fine if they had an owner who understood that they’re going to lose money, and just bought a hockey team because they want to own a hockey team.

Nah Mccann is a lot better than Wennberg. I could care less what Pittsburgh did. You’re really going all out to try to make it like McCann is some bottom 6 player when he was 2nd to only Crosby in points per 60 minutes last season.

They have those?

Florida has better attendance than them. Florida only have fans during the playoffs, the Yotes just don’t have any period.

I seriously can't believe that I just spent 5 minutes of my day reading an NHL.com article about how the Islanders seek to go deeper in the playoffs by adding Richard Panik and losing Eberle and Leddy.

Just as crazy as how Yanni Gourde is on Craig Button's team Canada Olympic roster, right AndrewLadd ?


Not that crazy

Results of the team are on the team. The GM can only do so much. Realistically I would've sent Marner into the sun after these playoffs though. It's not irrelevant or invalid to bring up his stint with the NYI. If he wasn't the GM there and/or the Islanders were doing poorly, his nostalgia circlejerk in Toronto wouldn't be so prevalent.

Lou definitely would've given AM and MM over 10 million. Giving an ELC player a high salary off their ELC isn't uncommon if they've played like AM/MM did.


The AAV or the term isn't the issue in itself. it's the combination of both. It's unacceptable to give AM 11M and walking him straight to UFA with a 5 year deal, and giving Marner... whatever this monstrosity was while only giving him 6 years.

For the colours I’d go with Orange Rust as the main, Black and white as the secondaries on the home jersey, then switch Orange Rust with White on the away jersey.
