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

[Throttle]

Of course. There's the 3 college kids you overheard at Bogarts after a game one night.

Nah, more like J Sprats.

 

[MJF]

Nah, more like J Sprat

Island Park. Oh brother

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Matt Martin activated.


Fixed it

I won’t argue with you. Going into the season with Aho and Bolduc as your 6/7 is inexcusable for Lou.

Would have been nice to add one physical vet that you could carry at 6 and throw out on the PK and D zone starts. Aho and maybe Bolduc (who may have upside) carry 70% ozone start numbers. Takes away offensive chances from guys like Mayfield and Pulock. Both are superior offensively to Aho.

Maybe we can bring Chara back!

Perry just got waived for contract termination..umm he'd make a fine addition to our first line..mebbe?

Gets better from here.

He’s probably toast and radioactive.

What could've happened there?

Now that's a throwback.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Just fire Lane, give this team a fighting chance with a new voice and better pedigree. If it works out, great, they make the playoffs (and some), if it doesn't, they add a top-10 pick.

 

[The Real JT]

Revisionist history

The Isles include JGP rather than Beau in the Horvat deal. JGP had more value so they could’ve kept Raty and flipped him in a different deal.

In that scenario I don’t think we needed Engvall who some here think is a prime asset. He’s meh to me.

Keep the pick you sent to Toronto for Engvall and don’t sign him to that ridiculously long deal. Trade Beau with retention at this year’s TDL for a minor chip.

We’ll call that part of a retool in case as Isles fans you’re not familiar with that term.

Lou and Lane both need to go. Enough is enough.

 

[Osakahaus]

Lambert really cant survive if they keep losing these games. This is a trend. They are god awful in the 3rd period.

They ain't getting rid of either now. Who replaces Lou either way?

Mindboggling Stat:

Out of 32 teams, the Islanders have spent the least amount of time trailing in games (10:37 minutes), per MoreHockeyStats.com.

Someone who has a vision for mid and long turn success. Lou has 1 vision. Short term success no matter what it cost long term. I’d like to see Tulsky get an interview. Regardless Lou needs to go.

 

[seafoam]

I’m surprised Lou and Barry haven’t hooked up for a deal yet. The Preds have cap space and lack depth up front, the Islanders need to try and subtract Lee and Pageau at some point.

Which could be half empty or half full depending on how you want to view it.

Surprising stats to say the least.

It’s tempting to think we’re “this” close to turning it around but most of us feel otherwise.

2 cliches come to mind
You are what your record is.
There are lies, damn lies and statistics.

All this shows is they are terrific at blowing it at the last minute.

 

[IslesNorway]

Beauvillier traded to the Blackhawks for a 5th. Seems he must have had a rough time there in Vancouver if his value has fallen that much.

He hasn’t fallen it’s just the Islanders fans value their players a lot higher then what they really are.
