Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

[PK Cronin]

An L for not getting Kadri even though i know this board was split on him.

A W for my crusade against the awful media this sport has.

But the insiders!!!

 

[The Real JT]

Fans: Thank god Lou didn’t get Kadri.

Also fans: f*** you Lou for not getting Kadri.

Put me in category 1.

 

[PK Cronin]

Pretty similar forward group that got to the conference finals twice, guess we'll see if they can roll with that and make another deadline splash like they did preciously.

 

[JKP]

Why? Free agency is where GMs make mistakes and no one here wanted Kadri at the rumored cost & term.

It doesn't matter. People just want to bitch and they'll always find a reason to.

 

[MJF]

Put me in category 1.

Let’s create a poll, once we hear the terms.

 

[The Lighthouse]

Cue board meltdown in 3.....2......1.......

Fans: Thank god Lou didn’t get Kadri.

Also fans: f*** you Lou for not getting Kadri.

Some amusing reading coming up!

 

[The Real JT]

But the insiders!!!

Over the last month I was thinking that if Kadri signed elsewhere I would make a post about the countless number of NHL insiders that tweeted their unfounded rumors to the contrary. On second thought, it’s not worth it but it is fun to see.

This is a good day for the franchise. Now do something Lou!

 

[IslandersFan17]

It’s not missing out on Kadri, it’s doing absolutely nothing to improve the roster while hoping Kadri would sign. Lou is a f***ing washed lmao

 

[Lights911]

0-2, what's Lou's next big swing for the strikeout?

 

[seabass45]

0-2, what's Lou's next big swing for the strikeout?

Are we sure he even stepped up to the plate?

 

[BrockLobster]

We will get the next one! What a clownshow

 

[Skip To My Lou]

It's also nice to see that everyone is laughing at us. Love that.

 

[seafoam]

Let’s create a poll, once we hear the terms.

7 year deal confirmed, waiting on the AAV.

 

[benedictTavares]

We dodged a bullet

 

[The Wahligator]

The game has passed Lou by. Simple as that.

 

[CRYHAVOC]

I think the Isles dodged a bullet here.

 

[IslesNorway]

Will be breathing a massive sigh of relief if Kadri signs elsewhere, unless it's a 3 year deal.

 

[seafoam]

It's Miller time!

Not the player, I am picking up a 30 rack on the way home and drowning my sorrows.

 

[Ararana]

I think the Isles dodged a bullet here.

You guys dodged a huge bullet.

 

[Metnut]

Who needs forwards when you can have the best backup goalie in the NHL.

Wanted no part of Kadri at 7X7, but this off-season is a joke for a lottery team that is trying to be a contender. I guess Lou thinks it was all Trotz’s fault.

 

[IslandersFan17]

It's also nice to see that everyone is laughing at us. Love that.

We should change the logo, we are a source of mockery with this current one, and it will just trigger memories of bad moments

 

[seafoam]

Will be breathing a massive sigh of relief if Kadri signs elsewhere, unless it's a 3 year deal.

It's a 7 year deal confirmed.

 

[Wanderson]

Happy about Kadri signing somewhere else.

Upset about the fact that all the other good FAs already signed somewhere else.

 

[seafoam]

But seriously, I wonder if Lamoriello circles back on J.T. Miller.

 

[BrockLobster]

While i dont think its the worst thing ever that we didnt get him. Its still a really bad look that this team cant sign anyone. I remember hearing "just wait until we have a new arena. The FAs will be flocking here...".
