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

Now if they can lose Engvall and add a real PK specialist it would make the 4th line actually function...

Just need to get Matty through his remaining 25 games first and then it’s 100% on. Engvall is probably done when Varlamov is back due to cap constraints as well as Fasching.

Looks good not seeing completely overhyped dead weight in the lineup anymore.

Barzal is centering the first line....

I was talking about the winger with the NHL shot they kept shoving on Barzal’s line eventhough he did nothing to prove he belongs there.

I don't think Wahlstrom has been hyped since 2022, let alone over-hyped. But yeah, I'm glad the team has moved on from him.

I really think this is going to be a status quo year and then once the off season starts, Roy gets full control of personnel changes for next year. They force Lou to move out who he doesn’t want and go from there.

1 half of MacLean and son gone. When we go 0 fer on the power play again tonight hopefully the worse half will go too

 

[Torrey Redux]

Finally

Don't tease me like that. Before I read the attached tweet I thought that maybe Lou had been fired. That's the only "Finally" I'm interested in.

What is?

 

[miscs75]

What is?

Martin is gone as well as Engvall. I’m guessing Fasching too if Patty has his way.

 

[gordie43]

Just showed isles “5 goal scoring changes”. All one and done. That not gonna work

 

[Top Corner]

Time to swing a big trade with Buffalo ! Another Lafontaine for Turgeon mega deal

 

[The Real JT]

Isles
Buffalo
Rags
Detroit
Anaheim
Habs

All of the above have played below expectations. Some are in free fall.

2 things come to mind.
1. These circumstances increase the chances for a hockey trade to shake things up.
2. Firing a GM and /or coach is rare during the season but it just may happen. If an owner has their eyes on someone who is available they might want to move on it before another team beats them to it.
For the life of me, I can’t think of a GM out there who I’d like to see take over the Isles. Silver lining: The way things are going, Lou’s kid won’t get the job.
