Sorry if I came off nasty. I just really don't like Strait, and feel this team can make the playoffs this season, and I feel that having Strait anywhere near the ice for the Islanders will hurt them, and not give the team the ability to have 3 solid pairings that they can put out in just about any situation.

haha would have to say the same about you! It is quite nice having someone else on here that uses "advanced stats" to backup their arguments.

And Broad City too.
How could I forget that?
I have actually never had that Gino's, we have I believe a different Gino's here in Lindenhurst. I have heard the other one is quite good though, so I will have to check it out.
Is Lindenhurst not still 11757? The one on Wellwood? That place is good. I also like that bagel place in the shopping center nearby.
My brother was living in Lindenhurst for a long time and I went out there regularly.

I actually completely missed the 11757 in your post. I mentioned the other place because there is a Ginos pizza in Babylon, but the one here is called Ginos of Lindenhurst. They make some really fantastic food.

Halmo-Quine-Skille
Persson-Sundstrom-Collberg
?-Mouillierat-?
Gallant-Sutter-Clark
Czuczman-Pulock
Pelech-Ness
Pedan-Mayfield
Graham, Leduc
Poulin?
Leggio
Reiter
Milner
I just threw these together and by no means should be taken seriously. I think Czuczman will start out with the Islanders, I could see Lee starting in Bridgeport (because he is protected through waivers), I could see Conacher getting waived and ending up in Bridgeport, I think Pokka will head back to Finland, and Collberg will be out till ~early November.

Conacher is not going to be sent down. He's there to teach the others about work ethic. If I know Cappy, this is the reason why we signed him in the first place. He's not some talentless midget 
out of the main core, I could see Martin being sent down
Anyway...why are we signing more dmen? Holy cow...don't we have enough already?
Do we have enough to properly fill 3 teams?
Out of all the dmen that will play in BP...we know how many we have and we know how many are allowed to stay at the NHL level, BP level and ECHL levels. Who would you guess would be defending at BP and even ECHL levels?
out of the main core, I could see Martin being sent down

i see Conacher being sent down. if we were full of big forwards, and needed some speed, then i would guess that he stays up. but we need more size up front, IMO. McDonald can go too. Martin will at least be the 13th forward, as he is an improvement on Boulton.
yeah, seems like Snow is going crazy with depth signings. i hope that he is planning on being competetive at all levels. it will definitely help.

I don't know how any real Islanders fan could make a comment like that. I'm not a big Martin fan but he does have value around the league. He could easily be traded for an NHL D-man. There's no way we are putting him on waivers to lose him for nothing. He also says Conacher is here to teach the others about work ethic? LOL! He's not some veteran that's been through several Stanley Cup wars. The guy still hasn't earned a regular spot in the NHL.

Martin's the type of player where fans ALWAYS overrate him. All 30 fanbases do it-not just us. Yes he's a heart and soul player who busts his butt night-in, night-out and every shift. He's a good 4th liner. Nothing more, nothing less. He wouldn't bring in a NHL defenseman without adding to the trade though. I don't see a lot of value in him to other franchises.
Martin's starting to be looked more accurately form Islander fans. A few years ago I remember calling him replaceable/4th liner and you'd think I'd just smacked tons of poster's mothers in the mouth.

well, either the majority overrate Martin, or the minority don't.
a few years ago, when he broke into the league, guys like him were sorely needed on the Isle. IMO, that's why he was well liked.
until he can be replaced by someone better, he is useful. judging by the fans of other teams (many like him as well), i would say that what he does, for what he's paid, is not an issue that needs resolution.

He's certainly not going to be pushed out of the lineup by Conacher.well, either the majority overrate Martin, or the minority don't.

I actually agree that we needed more gritty players like Martin. I think we still do (mainly on D). He's useful, but only on the 4th line. Martin is good for what he does-but like virtually any 4th liner he's replaceable.
