We got lots of bad contracts expiring over the next few seasons, I think Myers is arguably our only long term contract that could turn out iffy and he’s very movable if he continues the way he’s played but the eriksson Baer sutter beagle contracts are all gone by summer 22 along with the Luongo penalty lots of room for resigning our stars to promotions and then roster spots for our prospects

I sure hope so! I Am so uncomfortable with our ownership but maybe they have more faith in benning than they had with past gms, would be nice to see if we have some playoff performers in our young lineup before losing assets to acquire just that, a healthy fresh ferland would be a great addition with the hopes of tryamkin would resolve a physical push back im a little concerned about

I completely understand ive seen teams get creative in making cap space in the past Tho, I am personally hoping what your saying and stay the course but I could see pressure on benning from ownership

We got 14 games left if I did my math right before the deadline. To hold onto first what record would you all guess we need in those 14? I’m saying 10-4 - 9-5 will be right in there.... the reason I’m bringing this up is if we are in first at trade deadline does this make us serious buyers? also a desirable location to lift NTC for the big fish available? or does this management maybe just add some depth and stay on course and see what this young group has when playoffs arrive and fill in the gaps during summer months and prospects in our system?

Seems to me you already spent all your beer money tonight

I dunno I think he had a good thing going with Hughes a real chance at proving himself as a top 6 nhl dman after failing with multiple teams And he made a bad decision to leave don’t see why we reward him a spot on our roster over guys that showed they wanted to be here and have been part of this turn around this year

Schenn was offered a contract and went elsewhere.... not interested in a guy that doesn’t wanna be here

if some kind of package comes out with taffoli and Martinez coming our way I’d be happy

i Was just digging through our 2019 draft and noticed this kid is looking very strong in the numbers category read some of the comments above.... is this kid another gaud/madden in the making? Very cool to see he’s over a point a game with a slow start to the season in his first 6 he had 1 point is that correct? Looked up gaud for comparison in his draft Follow up year and he seems to actually have better numbers or am I missing something? Sorry for all the questions I’m trying to dig but frustrating myself that’s why I’m here asking for some clarity thanks!!

Haha I’m just buggin there’s a reason I’m on this site and not writing for a living

Yah I heard that podcast and it totally makes sense and it’s one thing to come out and say it but virtanen leaving 10-20% is not the same as Mackinnon leaving 10-20% there won’t be eye brows raised on a guy that had a second half breakout in his what 5th? NHL season... it’s just a player being smart about not throwing the nhlpa under the bus. Again tho it’s just my thoughts I have no idea what Jake wants it’s more just me having high hopes he’s part of our core on a cap friendly contract haha

Feel like the one thing we do got going for cap reasoning is the fact that (completely just my opinion here) he’s a home town boy and wants to be part of this dynasty Potential team and knows he’s only part of it if he takes a team friendly deal

Haha he was suspended this year for a cheap elbow but I don’t see him as a coward like march, he’s more Gallagher like in that in your face with the odd dirty move here and there, the kinda guy you hate but love to have on your team I get the feeling we will see the odd crossing the line with this kid I’m sure he will mature out of it like “most” do and find the line to walk on I would love to see another guy as annoying as rousell is to play against and be good enough to be pushing that 18-22 mins a game putting up numbers well doing it... exciting times guys exciting times

Looking forward to hearing him on spittin chiclets in 5 years talking about how screwed up Russia is

I see the hate on here towards drafting Russians because of the past but it is not fair to judge benning on picking Russians as he has not had a failed high pick towards a Russian yet and there is a chance that tree and pod end up being key pieces to this team, I’d say his only really bad blunder has been Juolevi so far and it’s not like he could have predicted these injury’s that set him back a year or 2 now.... maybe jake as well but it’s not like ehlers or nylander are superstars that make me pissed off there not on our team the other 2 options majority wanted at that pick. IMO tkachuk is the only real hindsight we missed big on

Babcock couldn’t make a superstar loaded team succeed what makes people think he would here? I mean green is on thin ice yes but under a healthy roster green has shown great results maybe it’s a little unfair to blame him for the recent hiccups and we at the least owe him this season to prove himself in his early coaching career. Hockey has changed a lot since Babs was a jack adams caliber coach and you hear a lot of negative comments on past players playing for him I dunno if I’m sold, also for anyone that needs a laugh go read commadors tweets today hilarious!!

First time watching podkolzin is tonight and seeing him shining so bright puts one big ass smile on my face..... the very least his value keeps going up and he becomes that trade chip we need to put us over the top or he becomes apart of our core that dominates for years to come

Feel like islanders are a very solid team but varlamov is not a number 1 goalie, as much as I love marky I’m beginning to feel super confident in demko taking the reigns, this probably won’t be a very popular suggestion but the thoughts of having ferland rousell and clutterbuck on our team is dreamy.... so here is my proposal Van: markstrom 3.67 Pearson 3.75 gaudette .916 NYI: Greiss 3.33 Beauvillier 2.1 Clutterbuck 3.5

this sounds is what I’ve wanted for years the start of it just fits sooo perfect after a goal

If there was plans to move a dman out don’t think we woulda seen us move biega away, unless of course it’s a dman for dman trade

Miller>20-25th pick all kidding aside I’m super happy this trade isint looking to be a hiccup in our rebuild well done Jim

Unless couture scores 37 playoff goals of course haha

Pettersson 35 goals 48 assists -83 points Boeser 32 goals 35 assists -67 points (limited to 70 games) Horvat 28 goals 30 assists 58 points gaudette 23 goals 25 assists -48 points Miller 24 goals 26 assists -50 points ferland 18 goals 25 assists -43 points Edler 13 goals 31 assists -44 points Hughes 7 goals 26 assists - 33 points Pearson 20 goals 20 assists -40 points leivo 16 goals 20 assists -36 points eriksson 14 goals 17 assists -31 points beagle 6 goals 12 assists -18 points motte 7 goals 14 assists -21 points virtanen 13 goals 11 assists -24 points sutter 12 goals 14 assists -26 points Myers 7 goals 20 assists -27 points benn 3 goals 10 assists -13 points stecher 7 goals 19 assists -26 points Tanev 1 goal 12 assists -13 points markstroms numbers fall in top 10 in league Canucks squeak into playoffs make a first round push to game 6-7 but fall short to Vegas pettersson wins lady byng Florida panthers vs Vegas golden knights SCF Barkov wins scoring race

I mean id rather see him in opening night over loui, him motte and beagle could make a decent energy line just not sure you would wanna take that opportunity away from one of these young guys that have been working hard in our system to get there shot
