Currently holding the #8 overall pick with top 5 a real possibility. If you’ve been watching this team all season, everyone here should be hoping for a top 5 pick. Nelson, Palmieri, Pageau along with Pulock or Pelech all need to be gone for the right price. Someone wake up old bag Lou.

I think a team like Detroit or even Colorado is far more likely.

It is absolutely INEXCUSABLE if Lou doesn't move a couple of players, and yes the offers will heat up in the next 72 hours.
Absolutely inexcusable....period.

I tried to remain optimistic, but I think it's time for a change. It's time for a retool or rebuild.

is there anyone left on the keep the faith train except LL? Im not sure even the players are on that train based on their play last night.
a properly executed retool can yield excellent results if we maximize our trades of UFA's and near UFAs, make smart signings and draft well over the next 2 years. Anyone should be available via trade right now. anyone.

Last night put the dagger into the heart of any thought that the Isles are going to make the playoffs let alone advance past the first round IMO. Team showed little urgency against the Rangers who are not very good and will likely suffer against the better teams that their schedule has them playing over the next 12 games. Trade Nelson, Palms, JGP and either Pulock or Pelech if you can and bring in a new GM/Coach by the draft in late June. Also, don't know what Roy was thinking in having Fasching on the 3rd line instead of either Duclair or Engval! Fasching has one assist in 22 games this year -he is an AHL player at best on any good NHL team and that is not an endorsement of either Duclair or Engval who both have been dreadful this year, but at least they have some skill that they exhibit every now and then.

He needs to take this opportunity to shed salary on players that can help other teams compete this year like Pelech and Pulock as well as moving UFA players to become leaner for a retool

If LL doesn't sell after getting crushed twice by the cross town rivals, I don't know what will. They are really 5.5 points out given tiebreakers, and they'd have to leapfrog 6 teams. it's time to find someone who will.

I actually take the current lack of rumors in the last few days as a good sign. cone of silence.

they're closer to the bottom of the standings yet the old fart thinks we can still make it. Reality is that if Sorokin went out, this team IS a lottery team.
roy having to consider going with Sorokin again or Skarek. Can’t believe we haven’t brought in a legit backup to help Sorokin. Lou’s been horrible this year
amazes me that we are going to let Lou run this deadline. To get assets for the next GM? Just a terrible season from a front office perspective.

it is beyond inconceivable if Lou is not trying to get rid of everyone who is over 30, but this is also on the owners because why would Lou care about this franchise in 3 years? he knows he is probably gone after this season or next so he probably wants 1 last chance to win a cup and he is going to ensure the Islanders are not going to win a cup for at least a decade if he decides to do nothing

I would rather pay to see a shit team that has some good young players then see the shit team with no bright future in sight.

I've never prayed more that Pagnotta is correct.
