Isles management should receive an award, somehow they trick their fans into blaming the players

First isles fans hate on Tavares even though isles management built the worst roster around him and he still made matt moulson look like a legit nhl player

Now isles fans hate on barzal even though isles management is doing the same thing and surrounding him with senior citizens like matt martin

They have attractive core pieces, but not enough to get out of the mid. In a league in which rebuilds are long and certainly can fail, it would take some brass ones to actually blow it up. At the same time, they're not close to contending. Tough spot.

Tavares lied and helped screw up the Islanders which is why the team is so messed up today, Isles fans (unjustly) worshipped him when he was an Islander, no one hates Barzal, frustration maybe but no one hates him

Relax. Sorokin and Dobson aren’t being traded.
Dobson should be the only one considered keeping, and given Sorokins age and the fact this team has no chance of competing any time in the next 5 years he absolutely should be for sale

Isles are the definition of mid. Good enough to give their fans hope but actually in need of a proper rebuild.

Firing old ass Lou would be a start

Only fans who are uninformed or in denial believe what you wrote. The last legit 1st line wing the Isles have had was Ziggy Palffy. Since then they've had more inept/fake owners than legit 1st lines.

Lou is bleeding this team down to the bone. A rebuild is necessary (even though a patch of fans can't face it), and the longer Lou is GM the longer it will take to get this team back to contention.

doesn't help add youth immediately but a good value stopgap...

bread 11.6+ x 2 retained 5.6+ to 6
Trouba 8 x 2 no retention
Vesey < 1m
total = just under 15

Dobson 4 expiring -> rfa
Romanov 2.5 expiring -> rfa
Nelson 6.0 expiring -> ufa
total = 12.5

dif = a bit under 2.5
Isles have almost 2 in cap space and can dump to get under

why Isles
Trouba is this season + next
after this season he can be dealt
2 yrs bread at just over half is good for LI
get dibs on figuring out if he wants to stay, or will waive
if he waives that is signif rental return esp w/signif retention

the D being given up are younger but require deals sooner
it does wince to lose LD Romanov but it is parallel to a rental

why Rs
using $$ to add young RD
flip Fox to LD
Fox - Dobson
KAM - Scheider
Romanov - Mancini

helps w/D while waiting on cavalry [Fortescue, Emery]
stopgap Nelson while Othmann + Gabe Perreault get ready

moves Vesey so full time Rempe here

Something has to give on the Island.....they lost 3-1 on home ice to the lowly Ducks and travel to Columbus tomorrow.

Team just looks slow and dispirited right now. I wonder how long Roy and Lou can co-exist.? It was different the end of last season when the Isles got hot. But the Roy magic is gone.

As discussed summer 2024 :

Ehlers (w/NYI extending) + Pionk
for
Nelson + Pulock

Jets playing too good right now so maybe bad timing. BUT. Fans wanted to move on from Pionk and possibly Ehlers too depending who you asked. Both UFA next summer. NYI need high end offensive talent and have too many centers.
