It is definitely a puzzling move; it would be interesting to hear why he thinks this was a good idea.

Bo's contract extension stipulations:
- "i get my beard"

Lou: "no"

Bo: aight peace, im out

Are they allowed to grow beards during the playoffs?

yes

ONLY during the playoffs

not before he hits you with that immovable 8.5x8 full NTC Horvat extension then Bo goes back to being a ~60 point forward

Just gonna leave this here

Who declines by 34 with another 3 years left on his deal. If there is one thing you can count on Lou to do is give a guy about to be 30 or is already over 30 already, way too much term and money.

I'd wager the return would at best be close to equal. The markets going to heat up now and once the big chips fall the later trades can fall off in price.

Bo doesn't have much of a beard I don't think...60 pts should put him top of the nyi point leaders probably number 1 every season based on how much their forwards score no?

I think islanders should be bowing down to Bo, just watch a highlight video, he's underperformed in stats based on his skills and his presence on and off the ice is immeasurable...my prediction he will be a massive upgrade for the islanders.
