It has more to do with taking a flyer on him, it's not like there's anyone available who would be much better

Thread: Sergachev

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles555</b></div><div>What’s with the trades for sergachev and turcotte lately? Did I miss something about both the guys or is it just an idea that caught steam?</div></div>

There's a rumor that the Kings want a "dynamic LD 25 or under"

I don't agree with it though(assuming its true) we could use a more experienced and good defensive LD to play with Doughty, but we need a dynamic RD 25 or under, not a LD. Roy is doing a good job, but he isn't a #2 on a contender(when we are) and he won't be the guy to replace Doughty some day.

I suggested Ekholm and Fabbro and it got mixed reviews.

Thread: deadline Nashville mates

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slapshot723</b></div><div>I would add one of them if need be, but I don't know which one the Isles value the most/least of those three. Sounds like NYI is really high on all of them.

But what you're saying is Bellows + Bolduc/Wilde/Salo + Hickey + 1st is fair value? I think the Islanders would have to seriously, seriously consider pulling the trigger on that.</div></div>

so we traded toews for scraps and now we're talking about giving up a 1st + two of our top 6 prospects for Ekholm. Just awful asset management, at this point just give Aho or hickey a shot. Trading a 1st for a Dman is reckless with the situation the isles are in.

If he leaves, he could go to a team that has a connection or the team with the most money. But I agree, don't see him leaving Washington.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles555</b></div><div>Call me crazy (I’m not) but there’s no chance the sabres want Zibanejad back in a trade.. this season (and likely next) is thrown away for them and he will walk away after next season from that organization and there’s nothing they can do.. if there were to be a trade here it’s gotta be prospects/guys who just entered the league on rookie contracts (ie LaF, kakko, etc.)</div></div>

Thread: What will happen to Ovi this year

He won't go anywhere, but if he does it won't be a big deal. He could ring chase on a nice one or two year deal and still be considered the greatest Capital ever, and go to the HOF as a Capital (I know that's not a thing in hockey but you know what I mean).

EDIT: Just FYI this is me hoping maybe Ovi would come to NYI on a solid one or two year deal to win another Cup with Trotz. But I know the chances of that happening are slim at best.

Which is surprising to me. Every year I keep wondering when it's going to be the Islanders year in the East. They seem like a team that has had so much potential, but hasn't been able to get over that final hurdle.... Hey.... Kind of like the Sharks in previous years.

I don’t know who <a href="/users/Isles555" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Isles555</a> is. It’s just a coincidence.

I called it - Barry Trotz continues to hold this team back. He’s the reason they lost tonight.

Thread: fire trotz

I wouldn't go that far lol, but good lord he needs to evolve a little bit. Like yeah it's not 1981 unfortuntely, the bottom six needs to generate a little more offense than literally none at all. These young, offensively gifted guys who sit in the press box every night aren't going to get the "experience" he and Lou praise so much if they don't play on a regular basis.

Can't wait for Komarov or Kuhnackl to slide into 2LW for Beau if/while he's out

He has looked good so far - he’s drawn 2 penalties in 17 minutes of ice time. Solid in all 3 zones

Yeah you’re right beau is good playing at the right circle - Who do you have running the point?
