Does Lou sell? (Given standings scenario)

[Kevin27NYI]

I'm not throwing in buying because at least there's precedent he won't buy unless we're in a position to buy but now we're in a position to sell or stand by.

But this seems to be a popping question. The trouble/rub is that the Metro sucks as much as we do so we never seem to be out of it playoff picture wise. So here's the scenario I'll put forward. Right now we're 5 points out of a playoff spot which is infuriating.

Two more months from now, say on March 1st, if we're 7 points out, do you think Lou sells? Not you, Lord knows I would. I'm asking what you think Lou does. Just trying to judge the confidence here.

There is a caveat to me vote Yes.....
Mgmt should NOT let Lou make any deals without EVERYONE signing off on them - including Roy and whoelse is in upper managment. And the thought process is and should be to rebuild and re-tool. Gain multiple assests so going in to the offseasons, we have opinions.

Lou is still in charge and he has very little history of selling. So unless something happens to change the front office there will be no selling.

We have two posters called “Glory Days” and “Glorydays22”?

And we also have “SI” and “SI90”.

Don’t forget “Seafoam” and “Seabass45.”

It’s the HFIsles equivalent of Pelech/Pulock and Nelson/Nielsen/Nilsson.

lol, yes great minds think alike

 

[MarsTBOW]

I voted "No" because I think he still believes this team can compete!!!!

 

[Big L]

Shouldn’t the options be Sells and Stands Pat, not yes and no?

I vote yes, i think lou sells or stands pat.

Question is, does he sell. No would imply standing pat.

Misleading. Have it stricken from the record.

The Isles will stay in the playoff hunt, not because of their good play, but because the other teams on the cusp in the east will be playing equally bad. Lou will call a press conference right before the trade deadline and say he has "faith in this group" and stand pat. The Isles will just miss out on the payoffs and end up with the 16th pick in the NHL draft. The Rangers will continue to struggle, finish in the bottom 5 and win the Draft Lottery at which point they'll
draft James Hagens.

The team needs to go 26 - 14 - 3 the rest of the way to reach 90 points .That added to our 14 - 18 -7 would end the year
40 -32 - 10.. While 90 points might just be where the Sens end up there is NFW our favorite team pts up 55 points in 43 games. Trade the guys now and max the return . “ Get back in there and sell sell sell “ Randolph Duke ( Trading Places)

 

[HajdukSplit]

We should but I’m guessing no, especially considering how low the point total will be to make the playoffs this year

We desperately need to improve our draft capital and prospect pool

 

[MikeyMike01]

I would be surprised if he didn’t, if we’re still in the basement at the deadline.

 

[SI]

He will sell.
He always says the team's play will dictate what he does at the deadline.

Nelson - for sure and Palmieri - 70/30 - 30 he gets resigned.
