Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

[Glorydays22]

This is why we miss CapFriendly so much.


Actually to become a UFA any offseason you have to turn 27 of that offseason. Perunovich doesn't turn 27 until August 18th so as far as I can tell he'll be an RFA for 1 more year.

Man, I miss CapFriendly!! Damn you Caps!!

 

[periferal]

True. The Coyotes dynasty proves the success of that model.

Here we go again with cherry-picking when it comes to the rebuild argument.

When you mention how it failed for the Coyotes just make sure you also mention how it worked for the Kings, Penguins, Blackhawks, Avs, and Lightning.

In fact almost every franchise where you can say a rebuild failed pretty much every time the ownership sucked:

• Coyotes
• Sabres
• Blue Jackets (although making progress now)
• Senators (new owners now and having their best season in years)
• Islanders (remember when they drafted Dal Colle, Strome, & Reinhart in the top 5 under snow/wang)

Just because a rebuild doesn't guarantee anything (and/or you're afraid of change), don't shit upon a process that has already been proved to work when it's done right. If you want to stick your head in the sand and not make any significant changes in the front office and on the ice, then stop complaining about the lackluster/poor results of continuing on this path.

Because a rebuild might have some risk, but you can be sure if we don't make some big changes then there's no doubt any hope of a Cup will disappear further in the distance than it already is.

Even Botta calls it a good move

FYI

I know's its only a 5th...but it's a dumb move. Bring up:

• Bolduc -24, playing better of late has 19pt in 38 games this yr. #1 pt man on the power play down there
• Mitchell - 25, 6'4 205 , had a good camp, putting up better numbers from last year in Bridgeport

No, lets bring in a 5'10 defenseman who can't play defense.

Lou either wants them to marinate more, Roy doesn’t really want them to play, or Lou is taking a flyer on a player when needed, giving an opportunity, and seeing what happens.

Isles still have slim playoff hopes not fair to players or fans to not at least try to ice an NHL team.

But the picks?!

 

[periferal]

Were the Blackhawks not being fair to their players or fans by trading Taylor Hall for a pick?

If we're being honest, the Isles might have "slim" playoff hopes, but they have zero Stanley Cup hopes. In that case better to admit it and start loading up so you can have those hopes again as soon as possible.

FYI

I go by the eye test, what blues fans are staying and the fact that he can't stay in the linup with a 40 yr old Suter, a 24 yr old 7th round rookie and he's not good

 

[impaaaaaact]

Yeah to me he’s this years Bortuzzo, won’t be back next year.

DeAngelo might be the perfect low risk high reward for our D corps going forward. Age profile fits with that Barzal Bo Dobson Sorokin core. Can absolutely run our PP. Obligatory, as long as he doesn’t ruin his relationships with dressing room.

IMO Perunovich has more of a chance of sticking around long term. When the team is healthy they’re running Dobson/Pulock/Mayfield on the right and that isn’t changing without a trade.

Behind Romanov and Pelech on the left is some mix of Reilly (UFA), George (young), and Cholowski (tweener). He’s an RFA and there’s actually a spot for him here if he earns it.

Could see Tony D sticking around as the 7D and George getting big minutes in BPT

This is a lot of words for someone who is just trying to goad you into a response

Respect. Don't care. Took me all of 60 seconds to write that. Whether he is a troll and/or uninformed, it makes me feel better putting reality out there.

 

[MJF]

What about Sebastian Aho, defensive wizard?

What do you think Perunovich is? Listed at 5’10” 175 and can’t defend at 5 on 5. This is Aho 2.1

Aho 2.0 is Dennis Cholowski.

Lou either wants them to marinate more, Roy doesn’t really want them to play, or Lou is taking a flyer on a player when needed, giving an opportunity, and seeing what happens.

It’s Option 3, because I don’t think Lou asks Roy what he needs. Roy coaches, Lou manages.

Reilly isn’t signed for next year. My bet is he has already played his last game in an Islanders uniform.

Do we know the conditions? Assuming games played.

As far as I can tell he’s an RFA

Aho 2.0 is Dennis Cholowski.

I’d say it’s more like American born legend Aaron Ness. Sebastian Aho scored 5 goals one season. That’s something Perunovich can only dream of.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Several wins in a row and Lou has added two blueliners within a 3-day span.

Sorry folks, it's clear where this is headed.

And it's exactly what he's done for several years now.

 

[miscs75]

Reilly might have played his last game of professional hockey based on his condition.

Sorry folks, it`s clear where this is headed.

And it's exactly what he's done for several years now.

To the detriment of the health of the franchise.

Don’t talk shit about A.Ness. He pushed really hard.

 

[Throttle]

Lou should as Dumbass to put Jary on waivers again, then take him. Add some G depth.

 

[Strummergas]

What about Sebastian Aho, defensive wizard?

He certainly fits into one of the three categories I listed....

 

[miscs75]

Don’t talk shit about A.Ness. He pushed really hard.

Unlike Shoresy who can’t push when he sh*ts.

Man, I miss CapFriendly!! Damn you Caps!!

New York Islanders | Salary cap and contracts

 

[Sparksrus3]

It's not wild - It's what happens when you have a good GM.

And here we are with Lou having spent THREE 1st rounders on Pageau, Pamieri, and Romanov - And all 3 together couldn't come close to getting Rananen or Guentzel.





Honestly - What difference does it make? Even if Nelson came back next season this team isn't getting near a Cup.

Just dump any aging vets, suck for a year or two, get some blue chip talent in, and this team will be in such better shape (and more exciting as well).

Sounds great !! I’m in for this . Just one thing. How do we get the Blue Chip talent ? In 40 years it’s Barzal, Tr91tor, Palffy, Patty Laf. Other great players that did not show it wearing our sweater.

Man, I miss CapFriendly!! Damn you Caps!!

Spotrac……. Just type the team or player then spotrac or else you get the entire site which may be tricky
