GDT: GDT #78 New York Islanders vs New York Rangers | April 10th | 7:30 PM | F/L 9-2

if Malkin wants to clean house this game is the perfect reason
Can’t see anyone coming back. This has been such a screw up. All we sold at the deadline was Brock…they gotta get rid of Lou. He has 0 pulse on this team. He’s just going to do damage.

Quite possibly your worst take ever.

Hyperbole at it's finest. Ask anyone who's been on this board a long time - Not in the same zip code as my worst take.

We are NEVER winning a Cup with Lou so I'd take my chances with almost any other GM.

Also I'll bet you $100 that from this point forward the Predators have a better record than the Isles over the next 2 years.

so yeah, rough spot to be in. Barzal and Sorokin don't save... that. but so many NMCs and NTCs - you can't really effectively tear it all down. you can barely take the posters off the wall.

No real accessible free agents available. Gonna run it back next year, except without Nelson. Gonna be a rough few years
 
The results haven't been there and maybe he sucks as GM, but he's been on the job less than 2 years. Plus name the move he made that you don't agree with. If anything it's the coach. Brunette isn't it because that roster is so much better than the record.
Alright, I didn't see this before calling your last take the worst. This one is.

Which move? How about Stamkos? He is 100% incapable of playing 5 x 5 at the NHL level anymore and anyone who had actually watched him play in 23-24 would have known that. Trotz had to have signed him based on reputation alone and clearly never watched one minute of video. The others were almost as bad and frankly were right up Lou's alley. Sign aging veterans to long term deals because they used to be great.

It's not hyperbole and Trotz is out of his depth as a GM. As for your ridiculous bet proposal, I don't know anything about the Preds farm system or what they have in the pipeline. What I do know is that the Islanders are a sinking ship so why would I make that bet?

And for the record, earlier today you agreed with my take that the bar is set too low around here and yet here you are saying you'll take anybody as GM as long as it's not Lou. Great standard. Should get us far.

That putz of a hall of famer who "can't play 5 on 5 anymore" would be 3rd on the Isles in scoring (and Marchessault would be #2).

The Isles are 25th in goals scored and 31st in power play. Guess we should complain about other GMs and keep signing 3rd liners to bad contracts.

And in the last year of Stamkos' deal the Isles will be paying Engvall, Duclair, and Mayfield the same amount of money.

Trotz may suck as GM, but right now Lou is worse. Don't agree then stop overracting in just text and put your money where your mouth is and bet me $100 who has the better record as long as Lou is GM of the Isles. I'll take the Preds.

Cool bro.

So instead of just complaining....Tell us who your top 3 choices are for next "elite standard" GM.
