Rumor: Iskakhov Leaving The Islanders

[Metnut]

Give him an a 2-way deal with a pretty high guarantee on the AHL side. Would love to get him into camp next year with the goal of getting him a 10-15 game look in the top 6 with other scorers and see how he does.

Given the state of NYI's farm system and cap situation, they need hit on a few cost controlled players to stay relevant over the next 2-3 years.

 

[Strummergas]

That reminds me - how many consecutive years is it now that Lou has traded the 1st round pick?

This incessantly repeated post has been given extended life until the draft apparently, but I somehow think it's going to rear it's head in a slightly different form next season as well.

Bad management on the Isles part. Should’ve been given a chance in the NHL.

How did he look in his 1 game?

He got bounced around a lot. His assist came on the power play. All in all I think he earned another opportunity to dress for the parent club.

He looked small, but quick. Doesn't have top speed but has quick first couple of steps, and his lateral movement is great.

He got knocked around a bit, but wasn't afraid to engage. Small sample size, but he seemed to have good instincts, and worked hard.

I am one of those guys who are willing to wait a season or two for a young guy to really catch on, so I was not disappointed. I feel like he can make a spot for himself, and I also KNOW that he has a skillset that would benefit us. At worst, 3rd liner with PP duties, maybe? IDK...

Carolina is not a big team. If Pageau remains out maybe give Isk a game especially if the Isles continue to have scoring issues.

I meant for him to dress for a regular season game.

The Canes move the puck faster than Iskakhov can cover ground. I wouldn't want him dressing in this series. Iskhakov needs to play a heavy game. Blocking shots is Roy's game plan for shutting down Carolina. I don't see him in the mix now

It would be bonkers to give a guy with 1 NHL game to his name a spot in a playoff game. It's just too unpredictable.

Ishakov was horrid defensively as well. He should get time starting next season and he has some nice potential. Gets a taste of the NHL before gearing up for the offseason is something I love to see.

I believe McAvoy, Tanev, Kreider and Stone among others all made their NHL debut in the playoffs. It is far from unheard of.

it is what it is , but I just wonder how much he'll make in the KHL verses what Lou offered him as an above average base AHL salary to entice him to stay . Lou doesnt seem to mind paying some veteran guys 250-300 K

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

The KHL will be more interesting to follow next season.

Not old enough to play for the Islanders and has too much offensive potential. Stupid decision by the Islanders

Could be 200K for Isles in AHL or 400K tax free in Russia. Either way we hold his rights so I'm ok with him developing overseas and then making the lineup next season.

Cool.

What's Kravtsov up to nowadays?

As a mod I like to sometimes leave posts like that up. It shows how much of a disappointment and boring his/her life must be.
