He said he hoped it was not a one off and that management continues to trade for futures. Edited February 1 by grandmaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 4 minutes ago, grandmaster said: But what if by years end they realize their team will suck more next year and Bo was not their answer? Guys on 650 saying Islanders trending downwards and getting older. It’s a bold move by Lou. Will Bo sign in Long Island? Will the Isles make the playoffs? Will they keep a top 12 pick ? Will that make them better next year. all the signs are against the Isles, I think perhaps they peaked not long ago and they should blow it up. im surprised they let Raty go. What points line is Lou looking for to go into the playoffs with ?.. and possibly with Bo unsigned, going UFA. I think he will trade Bo before the playoffs if he dosent sign there,.. even if the Isles make the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a better team (underachieving though) and we're screaming sell. Yet Lou is buying... Is his job on the line? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s like J Patterson whining for 3 months about acquiring JT .. the media is short sited and relies on creating myths, and negativity to create stories. I sometimes wish we could turn the clock back a million years Grandmaster,. Back then we could Wack the dim wits over the head with a big stick and be sucking on their ribs cooked over an open fire life was good. no useless information. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucBourdon28 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 First round pick, a promising prospect, and a roster player for a player on an expiring contract. This is an investment into the future success of the team, the main agenda for this team is to gather more prospects and picks and shed itself of win-now players. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 So where are we at with Beauvillier? Is he a reclamation project or is he a good middle 6? First round pick, had a few good playoffs. In his interview, he said he feels like he's played better than what the stat line says. Is this true? What are some of his key advanced stats? Is he playing the right way but just snake bitten?

Do we think we can put him with Petey and Kuzmenko for the rest of the season to bump up his numbers and sell high on him in the draft for another pick? I am so happy we FINALLY sold high on a player. Makes me want to keep Boeser till he gets some decent numbers and sell him at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Skater, heads up anticipation, goes to the wide open areas with the shot, great accuracy, good skills. Seeing some of his vid, you can almost compare him to Kuz. He is not a reclamation. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Why does the media and Bo Horvat himself report that he is in Disneyland? Isn’t he in Disney World / near the all star game? Or is he really is LA right now? Get it straight people. I suppose it may make sense to be in Disneyland as opposed to Disney World right now, as Splash Mountain - the best ride ever - is still open as Disneyland while it’s closed now at Disney World to be turned into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Fact. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not comparing him to JT by any means, but... if you're not getting prime minutes, maybe given the chance, he can flourish. I wish the guy well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in maybe some more 2nds via other trades.. Hell we could look at our 2nd like a late first as a "wise" man once said. This is the moment I've dreamed of as we are FINALLY at least to an extent focusing YOUTH AND FUTURE Cross fingers - pick centers in the first round and D the rest of the way (maybe one goalie if the right option is there) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right We need good skaters playing in a tight system by Tocchet. Still blown away by Seattle's team speed (which i think was mainly due to everyone playing in sync to a really good system and coaching by Hakstol) 2 minutes ago, BarnBurner said: Obviously, time will tell.

Popular Post Gawdzukes Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, N7Nucks said: They are only 5 points up on Detroit, who are the 10th worst team in the league. They also have 3 more games played than Detroit. They have no cap to make any moves this summer to really improve their team. All their best forwards except Bo and Barzal are over 30. They should have a very good defense for many years as they are still under 30, and Sorokin looks really good. If they suck enough this year that they are drafting top 12. There's a pretty low chance that Bo will stay. Whether that's wishful thinking or not, is anyone's guess. But if he turns into a rental and that pick is pushed to next season. There's no reason to believe this team can make the playoffs next year. They may stay middle of the pack. Like I said their defense and their goalie are really, really good. But it's also possible they regress with their forward group getting further into their 30s and no real cap space to make a team altering move. Even if they got Bedard I doubt he comes in and makes em playoff caliber. It's all speculation. I doubt they suck enough to draft top 12 though. We're probably gonna get a mid to late teens pick. Yup, agreed. Good point thanks for the response. I thought of another upside to this trade. Now we are cheering for 2 and a half tanks. Kind of. We want to tank, but we also want the Isles to tank, just not all the time, so we'll all be Islanders scoreboard watchers down the stretch. Should be fun to check out Bo too and see how he does. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
