What is he going to do about all those big contracts he handed out last off season.?

Stamkos is 34 and in the first year of a 4 year $8M contract with a NMC. Marchessault is 33 and in the first year of a 5 year $5.5M contract (with either a NMC or modified NTC - not clear which). They each have 2 goals in 12 games. Oy. Brady Skjei is 30 and is in year 1 of a 7 year contract (similar NMC/NTC) making $7M per year. Josi and Forsberg are good players, but they both have full NMCs.

Saros is 29 and has a new 8 year $7.75M contract with a NMC kicking in next summer. So, maybe trading Saros is the rebuild plan?

Barry and Lou can swap old overpriced overtermed players?

If there truly was a power struggle between Lou and Trotz, I now feel better that we stayed with Lou as our GM.

I didn’t think that was possible.

Trade one to Lou for a 1st rounder so we can keep hope alive for a wild card spot?

You go Barry - you signed ALL the problem child’s on your roster. Maybe get some experience in management before signing OLD guys to TERM.

Yup. Instead of signing fading superstars do what Lou did…sign a bunch of cheaper bottom of the lineup guys that no one else ever wanted to TERM.

Metro Atlanta voters approved the referendum to develop the area that would ostensibly be the home for a new NHL team.

Barry the GM was the savior of Lou and the Islanders, yet, Barry with all his zero management experience and tax advantages signed a bunch of old dudes so he can’t rebuild. Great work. Glad he was the next one.

Actually, Chris is gonna figure it al out for Lou…

And Lou and his decades of experience and all his cache couldn’t help tripping over his incompetence. But attaboy Barry!

You pick some strange things to get your jollies from when our own house is a shambles.

That looks like cap hell to me. Trading Saros could push the team in lotto land with a bunch of bad contracts.

Maybe Barry and Lou can trade for each others bad contracts?

Looks like Barry is getting ready to rebuild. Maybe he should take the team to Vegas to watch the Eagles at the Sphere. Maybe that’ll help.
