Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

Yes, indeed. My guess is that cuts to a level of respect that likely exists between player, and GM. Perhaps, not the right thing in a vacuum- but sometimes there is more going into these things than we can discern from here. We'll just have to see how it shakes out...
If Islanders can resign him to a decent deal I can live without a mid round 2nd rounder and a average prospect. Maybe at best they could have got a 2nd and a 3rd.
Beyond that I just looked at the Standings and surprised Islanders still in it(only 4 points out) with 20 games left. If we have another good run we can still make the playoffs

I'd love to know the % that this happens. This board brings it up all the time but I don't think it's the norm.
Is Komarov still playing? Maybe he can get a 3x2 from Lou!
Edit he actually is! Had 6 goals and 19 points in 36 games in the Finnish league, a perfect candidate for Lou.

Uncle Leo having 19 points in the Finnish league would still have a better shot to make the playoffs over San Jose and Buffalo.

So they didnt get it done by the deadline? Now he can just walk and Isles get nothing. Great work once again by Lou.
The point is more that either he signs by the trade deadline or you move him.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
You don't take any chance that a 20-goal scorer walks for nothing.
You shouldn't do it in any case, but you especially don't do it to a fanbase that still traumatized from the Tavares fiasco.

Just tank man what is LOU doing
I think every Islander fan, whether in favor of a complete rebuild or a smaller retool, agreed that at least Nelson and Palmieri should've been sold off, even if Pageau and Lee didn't get moved since they have another year on their contracts.

I understand this but I don't really care about a pick in the 50's. Tavares would've garnered a first rounder, maybe two and a good-excellent prospect. There's a huge difference between the two players and situations, imo.
Palmieri would've yielded pick in the 50's and some depreciating asset that would wind up getting his spirit destroyed by the suckitude of being in Bridgeport. I'd rather not have another young man's dreams of playing in the NHL die at the hands of a younger Lamoriello

Palmieri is from Long Island and has a lot of family here. You can also add in the fact that he owned a house out east before he even signed with the Isles. His plan I’m guessing is to finish up and just live out his retirement on the Island.
