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

[IslesNorway]

I wish they’d give a younger player a shot. Fasching is not gonna make a difference either way in this situation.

 

[Bill Herlyn]

Fasching was terrible in his 4 games with Bridgeport and doesn't deserve to be called up!! Foudy would be a better option if the Islanders don't want to recall Jeffries or Maggio because they want them to continue to play big minutes in the AHL.

My read on the Gauthier waivers situation is actually that they don’t want either of them playing on the top line. I think they slot Wahlstrom back in on the fourth and possibly call up one of Maggio/Foudy/Jeffries to play on the top line… although it is worth mentioning that Roy did play Fasching with them a bit last season.

Good and bad.

I’d move up Sipper to line 1, Pierre with Brock and Palms.

And suffer

Didn’t take long for Gauthier to be deemed irrelevant again.

They don't have enough cap space to call up Engvall. It's going to be one of Dufour, Fasching, Foudy, Jefferies, or Maggio.

Shouldn’t LTIR fix that though?

He's not going on LTIR as far as we've heard.

 

[gordie43]

Gauthier thing is prob a paperwork thing to help accrue cap space. I think one is the isles writers on X mentioned that there will be a bunch of paper transactions to help cap issues, or I could be making that up. I’m not sure.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

If Fasching gets called up I'm assuming Tsyplakov goes to line one and Fasching goes to line 2 with Nelson. Only way that guy is useful.

Maybe you'll get your wish and they'll waive Barzal Dobson and Sorokin next

 

[Isles72]

what time are they signing martin at

Legends deal.

He's DONE. Unless you want to replicate Craig Coxe coming out of retirement . . .

In all likelihood, Wally is back in the lineup and Foudy gets the call up, with Gauthier going down if he isn't claimed.

 

[Green]

So is this the cue to start the re-build? Is Lou going to announce everyone on the roster is for sale and he wants everyone gone except for maybe Dobson by the deadline?

Yikes, Roy was not pleased....

Shocker (not).

Maybe not, never suggested that.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

So we get to watch last years' Isles all over again? Nice.

What’s the difference? Even with the additions this team has played the exact same way as the last two seasons

Long term but not season ending. Still sounds pretty bad. Like, half a season.

5 games in and you're ready to throw in the towel? Geezus.

If you can't see the difference, I don't know what to say. The pace of play is up, we are more aggressive on the PK and the style is more fun to watch. We need a new approach on the PP. Duclair's injury hurts, but maybe we see a few new opportunities, such as Holmstrom getting an extended look on the top line, and either Foudy or a Jeffries getting a look.

Wally also gets a reprieve, and if you actually listen to Roy, he's been saying good things about him.

If you honestly think you are watching Lambert's team a year later, it isn't the same style of play.
