What is your deal with trying to stir up fans of different teams?

I'm glad you agree with one of the most negative Isles fans on HF Isles.

Not trying to stir anything.. sorry if it offended you agreeing with a fan (had no idea he is considered most negative fan).. I am a fan of what Snow is doing in NYI and have no issue with the team at all. I just happened to agree with that one post

You started this thread, had another post saying how there are other media reports about this in Toronto, and now you agree with the most pessimistic view in the thread. You're not an Isles fan and you're not a Toronto fan. While almost everyone else is in agreement that this thread is silly and is actually quite civilized, you keep injecting things to keep it going. I'm not the only one questioning your motives. It sure seems like you're just stirring up stuff from where I'm sitting.
 
Honest question:

Will people post the same ******** when Matthews hits RFA in 3 years?

I'm not pissed, I'm just trying to figure out your deal. I also remember you in the Hall-Hamonic related threads and I could have sworn you were an Oiler fan from your contributions. You jump around a lot and I have no idea which team you support.
 
I'll secretly pine for McDavid given he'll be the best player in the league but after the Stamkos thing, don't care about Tavares, he'll be getting ridiculously overpaid anyway, if he wants to play in Toronto cool but who cares.

Who was the last player as good as Tavares to hit UFA? Parise and Suter were a step below him, I honestly can't think of a single guy I'd put in his tier that's hit unrestricted free agency in my entire life.

Face it, this isn't the NBA where Lebron and Durant need to join superteams to contend for NBA championships, this isn't MLB where the big market teams can throw seemingly endless money every offseason, and isn't the NFL where you risk tying up 20% of your cap because you have a really good defensive lineman that's looking to cash out.

It's the NHL. Franchise players stick with their franchises.

As an Islanders fan I think he will leave unless the Isles make it to the ECF or better in the next 2 years. The new arena situation is much worse on the players and Snow has not put the team in the best position to win from the coaching staff all the way down through the on ice talent.

If he does leave, my guess is it will be somewhere where he sees a cup as attainable. I don't think he'll go to another reclamation project.

Look for organizations who have the following:

Respected GM and Coach
Willingness to spend to cap ceiling
Close to winning a title
Elite winger to play with

Those would check ff the boxes he ain't had in NY.

Just so everyone understands, this guy has never said anything positive about the team. You can basically take everything he just said and toss it in the trash
 
Jt for mariner and nylander makes sense nobody has ever gave me a good reason for not doing this deal for me jt is going to be very expensive after 2 YRS and nearing 30 by the time the youth are in there prime years . would Toronto take this deal or laugh at it would really like to know what you guys think am I nuts or is this plausible thanks

I'm surprised that in two whole posts no one objected to that trade. Must be a keeper!
 
He'll be a perfect replacement for Matthews (who will demand a trade out of the Toronto fishbowl - to Arizona).

sure he will.

What about the montreal fishbowl eh?

2 languages and the biggest sport in town.

Nope.
 
Benn signs with Dallas long term. Another franchise player choosing to stay with the team he's comfortable leading instead of seeing what he could have gotten in free agency.

I coulda swore the leafs already drafted him, it was there destiny right? Or did the leafs get screwed and "lose" the lottery? No worries though he didn't smile during the lottery so that is code for I will play for Toronto soon, just like every other all star player who would rather play for Toronto then anywhere else
