Who will be the Islanders "whipping boy" this season.

[crashthenet]

Dobson. If the PP doesn't pop and he doesn't pile up points his defensive play will be a hot topic of discussion. HM - Mayfield- If the PK performs as it did last year...

 

[MarsTBOW]

MAYFIELD!

 

[doublechili]

Okay, maybe I'll go with Dobson....

 

[Isles Junkie]

Kind of hoping it can still be Oleg Kvasha or Brad Isbister.

In seriousness though, the answer will be Lou.

As far as players on the team. I think people may be very quick to get on Dobson if he didn't replicate his #s from last year.

I know it's only 1 game, but what do I win?

You’ll have plenty of times this year to repeat this. Just change the game number.

can this thread be changed to "whipping boys"?

Engvall and Mayfield

I will retract my Engvall portion due to him being demoted and replace him with Lee or Pageau. However it should be Wahlstrom and the fact he’s still useless out there and provides none of the things they want him to provide on the 4th line. Can we bring back Oleg Kvasha and put him on the 4th line right side instead?

Sean Combs approves this message.

Dobson

 

[Osakahaus]

I think it'll be Lee/Dobson/Pageau easily, but Holmstrom gets so much weird hate for a dude who is probably the most defensively responsible on the roster.

 

[MYIslanders]

Right now, in my household, it’s Dobson. Making Squirt level mistakes out there multiple times to cost game 1.

 

[Isles Junkie]

Yeah. I'm kind of ok if they deal Dobson. Dude is horrible defensively.

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Absolutely cannot pay him any more than 7.5-8M per. Last season is last season

Dobson looking at a one year deal with a modest raise instead of a long term deal with 8-9 next to it like he should

If they don’t one year him, then this has all the warning signs of Nurse/Jones.

Lou is 82. How much longer are we going to let him make decisions for this team? Can our owners wake the F up already?

 

[attilatheislander]

I like this question. Engvall and--I fear--Dobson. God help us if Dobson becomes the new MAB.

Could always hire a 26 year old.
