Is there a timeline for Bourques injury by the way ?

 

[piqued]

Varlamov looked shaky to me in the NYI-Utah game. He is 36 years old after all. Like we saw with Khudobin when the wheels come off it's not pretty.

Also, holy shit:

I feel like when this happens the other 31 GMs need to show up at your office and take your gun and badge.

The Islanders signed a bunch of guys to long contracts taking them into their 30s. They decided they liked their third line and wanted it locked up to age 35.

It's fine to do it with franchise caliber players and mostly with star player but Isles did it with role player for some reason. Reminds me off pre-Vegas expasion draft where teams gave all kinds of veteran role players NMC's into their long-term contracts which then bit them in the ass.

Don't sign role players to more than 5 years and even that can be dicey . We experienced that with Faksas 5 years deal.

Absolute must win
