Ryan Reaves is making almost $3M a year. What a terrible contract.

He's making more than Matt Martin.

There’s likely more pressure on Lou to keep him now than there was with any of our UFA’s. Lou doesn’t have tenure there. It won’t cost him his job or anything, but it might already be one dent against him on his resume with the ownership group. A lot of our prized assets left under Lou’s watch, though, not all of them were his fault and losing them was for the best all along. I don’t any were as important as Tavares is for the Islanders. Maybe Nieder was, but we had #30 to absorb that.

It's not even so much that...he's 76 and didn't exactly go there to rebuild (neither did Trotz for that matter). That's a rebuild or should be without JT, but it won't be so he'll have to take some huge risks there.

 

[jkrdevil]

Lou went the Isles because there were desperate and gave him absolute power.

 

[Devils Dominion]

I mean...how many times did it happen here?

At least people would stop complaining that it only happened here, if it happens now.

It will be worse that he gets it done there but failed here so many times.

 

[Cage Helmet]

Come on, guy. Reaves for that money is just stupidity. I don’t care how much flexibility you have on your cap.

Unlimited power!

I know Lou had nothing to do with it but they had an A+ draft

I mean, he is a rare breed in this league. Not many of them left around anymore. Goons are on the endangered species list in the NHL and he's one of the few left.

Somehow I have a feeling that if the Islanders lose Tavares, you'll still be talking about how they'll be in the playoffs....

 

[Darkauron]

Good on Reaves for swindling GMGM tho lol

He's going to look so threatening in the press box that nobody will dare take a run at his teammates.

It's possible but with FLA and Rawly vastly improved it will be tougher for them.

 

[jkrdevil]

If a player feels betrayed by an organization because he signed a below market deal and they did nothing with it...he would absolutely string them along. Because that is basically what they did to them

 

[Devils Dominion]

IMO, he stays with NYb

He's prob letting Lou throw in a few more things and ironing it out.

TENSIONS IN OUR LIVES THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR MINDS!

If that’s what they call normal then I’d rather be insane!!!!!

My best friend, who you know, lives in the same area where Jesse Michaels now lives. Not sure if he lives there anymore. He used to run into Jesse and became friendly with him. They went to lunch a few times and hung out. Jesse is apparently always psyched to talk Operation Ivy, but I’ve heard that Tim Armstrong is usually a dick to people who bother him about Op ivy and would rather talk about Rancid, The Transplants and every other project he’s done. He’s always struck me that way in interviews, too and it’s been corroborated by others accounts who I’ve met, who have talked to him. Not sure how Matt Freeman reacts towards people wanting to chat Op Ivy instead of Rancid and his other acts.

The deal would have been done and announced by now.

Lou is already asleep for the night. He will be up at 5 AM to reach out.

I won't be able to reply to you when this site craps out when he Re-signs

 

[njdevils19]

That guy is funny.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I did figure it would be announced by now if he was staying.

We sure midnight is the deadline for the extra year?
