News: Josh Ho-Sang has requested a trade

[Hunter368]

I was vaguely surprised no one took a gamble on the kid and claimed him for free.

 

[SI90]

If he is traded will probably be for a very late pick or future considerations.

Possibly and player for player swap because of contracts but I’m not sure who could fit that would come the other way.

 

[SI90]

I was vaguely surprised no one took a gamble on the kid and claimed him for free.

I think it has to do with having to keep him in the NHL. Now if you trade for him he can start out on your AHL team and you can call him up if need be.

 

[sandysan]

I'm glad he asked for a trade. He does need a fresh start...there has been a lot of back and forth talk made public in the media between Ho-Sang and NYI. Definitely some bad blood there.

He needs to go to another team so he can focus on hockey again...and he needs to stop talking to the media so much also...

backchecking and giving up on trying the dipsy-doo everytime he has the puck wouldn'y be a bad start either

 

[Mac Attack]

Islanders have screwed Ho Sang for years, kid deserves a fresh start

Ho Sang has screwed Ho Sang for years

 

[Homesick]

Maybe a conditional pick based on Ho-Sang's success level.

He was free two days ago. It will come down to a team wanting the Isles to take on one of their 50 contract spots. Junk for junk with no performance based conditional picks.Especially with his baggage

 

[Mac Attack]

Ho sang has screwed Ho Sang for years... lets be honest eh?

Lol I posted this too then saw yours. Nice

 

[sandysan]

I was vaguely surprised no one took a gamble on the kid and claimed him for free.

if you are capped on contracts. you would have to jettison one to pick him up.
if he isnt as good as the guy you are dumping, its not so surprising

Agreed but my point still stands.....no one could put this kid in their lineup now? A bit surprised tbh......hopefully the kid gets a break.

 

[Lunatik]

lol kid is gonna be waiting for a loooonnnnnggggg time. Teams wouldn't even claim him for free when he was on waivers. What the hell makes the Ho-Sang camp think someone now wants to give up something for him?

17 teams have at least 47 contracts on the books, they may not have been willing to lose contract spot flexibility later in the season for a opening day waiver claim that may not be an NHL regular. Also, anyone putting in a claim for Ho-Sang would have had to keep him in the NHL, with him clearing first it gives additional flexibility. We see guys traded semi-regularly after clearing waivers.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Does New York need a center? I’d consider trading Antti Suomela for Ho-Sang.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Do the Puljujärvi - Ho-Sang swap already. We all know it's coming.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Let's be fair, he was done in that org the moment Lou took over. He doesn't deal with any of it.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Seems like an absolute steal for the Isles.

At this point of the season, it would have to be a contract coming back. Otherwise, anyone interested in him would have taken him for free. Basically our "problem" for someone else's "problem."

 

[IceNeophyte]

lolz no one picked him up off the waiver wire.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Brilliant idea! Vegas should trade Holden for Ho Sang, then put Ho Sang on waivers!

 

[Cats2TheCup]

I'd like to see HoSang play next to Drouin, Barzal or McDavid all for different reasons.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Yeah, the team that traded up to get him did it just to screw with him.

 

[HOPE]

i know he's got some ego problem, but jesus i'd like Montreal to take a flyer at him, he's got some undeniable elite puck skills, the guy isn't lazy on the ice either, he just got some brain cramps at times.

We have enough of this type of player...We're good.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Not enough for Names. No interest in making the isles a better team while Ho Sang will spend most of his time in the Quinn Bin before being waived.

HoSang for Staal (%50)?

 

[57special]

 

[ShelbyZ]

Considering he cleared waivers, I doubt the Isles are going to get anything like a draft pick or unsigned prospect back, at least not on it's own.

Probably ends up swapped one for one for another teams recently cleared waiver fodder. Anybody's AHL team need some depth on the wing?

It's more than just brain cramps. A small breeze knocks him off the puck and his skates. For the Islanders he was just another Rob Schremp, Jeff Tambellini, Justin Papineau, etc.
