He can't play until Oshawa gets eliminated from the OHL playoffs

He can when his junior season ends. However, Oshawa has already clinched a playoff spot and has a chance to go on a run so it may be some time before the season ends. If Bridgeport was good enough and made the playoffs he would
Have been able to join them as well

I tend to agree. How he does in the POs may also affect the $$ outcome, imo.

It's Mr. Chicken Little to you!
I made the same prayers in 2014 about MDC and JHS. Hockey God doesn't exist. Only Hockey Devil is real.

That's why when you have a terrible GM/scouting department you let other teams find the gems and then you just acquire them.

The Real JT
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the Lou way
You left out the assistant GM.That's why when you have a terrible GM/scouting department you let other teams find the gems and then you just acquire them.
Considering the tire fire that is Bridgeport, keeping his son Chris is also a demerit on Lou’s resume.
Say what you want about Lou’s performance but how in the actual f*** does Chris still have a job? That’s on the owners, but it’s also on Lou.

Yeah, he was one of my favorite Islanders. Plus side, I know which team I'll be following come playoffs.

How much did he play wing?
Or was Lou playing 4D chess on this trade for him to come back to the island

He's played both over his career but he was playing wing primarily when he was younger. Over recent years he'd switch to wing when the team needed a spark and the team would stack line a line.
Nelson not really gelling with the Avs, although it's still early - there's a number of Avs fans complaining about Brock's play. I think we should be very happy he would not re-sign here and managed to move him while he had value. I do wish him the best, but I think he might regret not taking the Isles offer.

We all know nelson will get hot and really be clutch soon enough. He will adapt. Hey maybe he sighs with us in July! Would be become a legend round here eh?

Let's Go Islanders!
I wouldn't worry as an Avs fan come playoff time. Nelson always plays well in the playoffs

I think we started to see Nelson's play drop off this year. Let's be honest - His prime is behind him. And this was basically confirmed by the reporting that Lou "the contracts are too long" Lamoriello who was both desperate to resign him and yet - Only offering him 3 years.
This is why I am so relieved that Nelson turned down Lou and he was forced to trade to trade him. Because I think it would've both been criminal to resign him or let him walk for nothing. Trading him for a 2nd would've been more smart, but the return was very fair...And it helps us long-term, so that was clearly the smartest move.

I haven't gone over to their board. What's the complaint? That he floats at times instead of busting it back to the D zone? That his shot isn't accurate? His passes wobble and don't go tape to tape? Brock's always been a streaky player.
