Agree.  Miller is the priority.  But trading Boeser and eventually Myers would do wonders.  First, they could get some draft picks.  Second, if they could clear space, they could weaponize that for more picks.

And then we have no vet presence ,  and a bantam hockey team in the NHL.

I'd be happy if the islanders just miss the playoffs and we draft 13th (or maybe they give us #10 or 11). It's a deep draft and a pick like 13 is like a #7 next year.

 

That being said I wouldn't mind betting against the islander next year.

Yup, scouting reports indicate that there are some decent Dman from this year's #13 to around #20. Imagine drafting a franchise forward (BEDARD!) + a good Dman this year...oh my.

No Kariya and Horton were chest / ribs.

Hesds and necks collapsed onto shoulder.

 

Both heads smashed the ice.

 

The ownership has to go to the puck carrier who skates with his head down watching the puck come off his stick only to watch it go where he sent it.

 

Teaching the game is supposed to be by handling and passing with your head and eyes up , using only your pereferal vision to see the puck.

 

Why not just take physical contact out if you can’t line up a hit and commit yourself to it.

you can clearly see both heads snap back... it doesnt matter if you start contact with the shoulder... if you follow through and up into the head it is still a head shot...

It could very well be like drafting McDavid + Hughes all in one draft. God damn lol. One can dream.

We can speculate about what deals will be coming next, but at the end of the day, I think that this particular trade signals the start of what we should have done a long time ago. That is, to add more elite prospects and top-end picks to the pipeline, aka a proper "re-tool" (I don't care for the semantics). And speaking of what moves may come next, one would have to think that they will be chiefly future oriented as well. Despite the circumstances leading up to all of this, I like what I'm seeing!

Why would you want veteran presence if it’s in the form of bad leadership?

 

We can sign older guys on short deals for veteran presence.

 

Oh and by the way we were a bantam team with Miller on the roster. ;)

No.  Now the term principal contact is used.

 

That is when you tag the head only, and or first .   Those were not .

 

All hits usually end up involving some trauma to the head..  it’s inevitable.   
If you want to protect the head , keep it up, pay attention with and without the puck..

or simply take hitting out of the game.

“Headshots” weren’t a penalty then, the call was imterference. Which it was not.

First one I see hip into arm and shoulder,  Horton is leading with his positioning and has made himself vulnerable.

 

Second one Stevens nails forearm into Kariyas chest .

 

freeze frame dosent do it Justice.

They are keeping Miller ,  they signed him to be the Vet presence while they get rid of the softness , including Horvat.

 

In 3 years, the opportunity for your dream will come true,. But if we’re going to the playoffs , he’s here longer.

 

told you and    e v e r y b o d y    else .

“Bo will be traded.. too soft“    “Let  Boeser  walk.. not worth the money”

”Kuzmenko will prove to be better than expectations and push Brock out” 

“Myers will go at trade dead line for a team needing playoff D depth”

..that was all last Summer. Lol 


Hell we might have got Bret Burns (50%retained) for Boeser,

the “brainchild management “ in SJ signed Hertyl to an 8.2 after cutting E Kane loose.

 

This trade is great for us,  and a career ender for Lou Lamarello , courtesy of Bo.

just watch :) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Some people still can't figure out that you are Nostradamus Sam...  :)

If they move Demko too keeping Miller makes zero sense. 

Why?

 

Demko is broken, it could be game over already.

Nothing wrong with Silvos.  not a great situation but.

 

Trading Demko, if that’s where this is going, that will happen this deadline.  Might get a juicy D prospect and a pick.

 

 

There is no need for Miller to move.…. But many here think we are in a total rebuild.… and we’re not.

They are moving soft and weak.
