What will happen is they will show his spin-o-Rama goal from back when they had kids do shootout competitions at the garden over and over and over.

The prophecy

 

[SPV]

Can’t hurt.

 

[seafoam]

Don’t see him beating out anyone in their current top 12 (maybe splits time with TyJo but that’s about it).

Lets see if a return to Boston gives him the fresh start he needs, he’s a nice kid.

 

[miscs75]

Providence got themselves the hometown kid who a YouTube sensation.

 

[IslesNorway]

He’ll be back on waivers in a month or two.

If he gets sent down to the AHL the Islanders could get his rights back

Boston PP is worst in the league.

They have two goals in the last two games, one on the PP one on a penalty shot.

Starved for someone to shoot the puck.

He’s the property of Boston now. No take backs.

Not unless he clears waivers.

Good luck Oliver
As an Isles fan, I hope this works for you

 

[McGarnagle]

The Bruins' forward group is so bad that it can't hurt, and very low cost/low risk. If it doesn't work out, easy to waive again.

I always feel for the 9 year old goalie being like “what the f*** was that”

The most shocking thing about this, is finding out there’s a team with a worse power play than the Islanders.

He was just on the worst PP so hes used to it

Is that even possible?

This is us, guys. The eternal losers from the city where there are no palm trees and taxes are high.

Hell fit right in then!

The claim makes alot of sense if he's from Boston. Buying low on first round talent always makes some sense.

That said, he sounds pretty close to busted. Will be interested to see how this plays out.

For those interested, this cost Boston $41,250, paid to New York and not counted against the cap.


Players claimed this season: 18
Total compensation: $531,750

After watching him for a few years now I can honestly say I don't recall him doing ANYTHING memorable. He seems to not have the tools or the toolbox. Definitely a wasted pick of the 2, although Dobson seems to be regressing as well. He's been tough to watch recently. Would suck if they both busted out.

 

[TD Charlie]

Obvious. Such a Boston thing to do this

But…they suck, really bad, so i guess it makes sense to try SOMETHING
