  1. Who are you?.. I wasn’t expecting this outlook from you your damn bang on with this outlook Timra. Happy New Year ! 2023 could be your best
  2. I appreciate your thoughts, and no apology necessary, we can all be passionate for this club, one way or another. don’t get me wrong, I think Bo is a good player,. But I don’t think his leadership style of being soft spoken , as something this management group.. especially JR , were enjoying . He has had a career year! .. but where did that come from? I think this group wants to see consistency and a high emotion level from players .. Obviously Miller can be a little over the top that way , but he possesses it.. it’s not an act.. it’s his drive and the drive they want to see rubbing off on the younger core. it was refreshing to see Petey flipping the iPad away with his stick the other week.. and physically he is engaged, and hard in the mix. He didn’t learn that emotion from Bo. I go back to before Bo got the Captaincy, Gilles was trying to acquire Shane Doan for Vancouver , just for the purpose of a vet/ presence/ captain , to give the proper person to learn from. ( that’s how I remember it). Miller has a passion that will help bring back the culture we lost after Kurtenbach, Smyl, and Linden. I don’t know to many Captains in this league who are not passionate, emotional , and gritty leading there team. Id like to see Miller Captain , til he is traded in 3-4 (or more ) years. . And then hand off to Petey who will have learned everything at the proper pace. it’s too much pressure for EP right now.. especially during this time.
  3. Taking head shots and not retaliating is part of the culture change that is long over due here Need to get back to the Smyl / Linden days of Captaincy, and a wolf pack mentality of having each others back.
  4. I forgot Ilya Mihky is out, Yes a good time for Beauviller to prove himself here. in his first 12 nhl games , Raty is 52.2 FO % in 67 times at on the dot.
  5. Miller is staying, They signed him for his consistency and Vet presence , it’s his grit and emotion that management likes above all. Bo is soft.
  6. So WE. should have waited for Bo.. to get injured? stay unsigned? The longer it goes dosent always give you the best deal either. A top possible top 15 1st rnd pick ( and Raty (ELC) 2-3 more years Bo wasn’t / isnt going to bring back much more. If anyone is involved in another trade it’s probably Beauviller with someone else..
  7. That’s not going to happen. This is what will : Isles will miss the playoffs and keep this years pick. Bo will go UFA . Islanders will play worst than Arizona next season , Lou will lose his job, … and we will get a top 5 pick next season.
  8. He hasn’t seen any other city to know what it’s like to live there.. This is going to be “growing pain” for him. ps , I blame his agent for wanting top dollar and sticking it out this long.
  9. He’ll go UFA. almost guarantee it.. once he gets the numbers coming back he’ll want to return here for 7m per. We’ll off load cap where we can and see if he’s available.
  10. Get rid of Diamond, Enter Milstein.. that’s how this will happen.
  11. Retaining his a portion of his cap is probably the only way you can move him.. or waive send him to Abby like we should have LE. He’s becoming a bit of dead weight, .. id personally would rather have watched Pederson (waived / picked up). … already paying 6.5 for a game nothing near that value.
  12. I think retaining Brock at 30% for the next 2 years will move him. But I can’t see where.. Would him going to NYR for Lafrienier make sense? Hes kinda dropped off too. Brock might perform well in the playoffs .
  13. Omg.. he could dress up like a Borat and totally pull it off !! Young man is a professional joy .!
  14. Pederson could skate , pressure well as an F1 and 2, and good grit / net presence. I get he’s a little older, but he just needs consistency getting opportunities at the NHL level. I definitely think he will stick somewhere. He’s a player that will probably become a Hero in playoffs. I wish him the best, And would welcome him back.
  15. have to admit he has a very big heart .. I look forward to seeing him in camp !
  16. Harry , Can we just “default “ all the games , throw 5 or 6 pylons on the ice after game time warm ups, and sneak out the back door ?
  17. Bo will be traded. Turning away from helping his teamates out 2 nights in a row , must have Rutherford biting through his own lip.
