Thanks for all the memories but it was time to move on. Agreed. But I'm perplexed why he didn't wait to see July 1 as a FA. He would he have received some other similar offers in better situations than Long Island. Why give up the hammer to sign there? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo wanted to join a winner lol. Islanders are old, few prospects of note coming, cannot compete in their division let alone will likely be falling short of wild card spots over the next half dozen years while the big boys maintain and Buffalo, Detroit, and Montreal start trending into Playoff teams. I wish Bo all the best, happy to see he got the financial security he wanted. But he is going to endure years of missing the Playoffs. He could have taken his pick on a half dozen good, I mean good teams in the offseason but what only got 7 years term ? he got his money but for his career it was a huge mistake on the ice. Is Bo the new Ehrhoff? ”After seeing the Isles offer I decided they give me the best chance to “win”” 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just drunken sailor money being thrown around. Which Lou is not normally known for. He just be getting desperate. I wonder how it will take before Bo is saying his contract SUCKS! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickly Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It’s not like the Islanders have a brighter future than the Canucks atm. They just traded their best prospect to us along with a 1st and their roster is getting older with a limited window to win. Oh well, they backed up the brinks truck for Bo so looks like they’re doubling down on what they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 3 minutes ago, Coconuts said: It's more money than I'd have been willing to give him and I wanted to keep him, 8M would have been my hard line imo. 7M would have been a bargain imo, I was arguing it'd have been fair back in September. 7.5-7.75M could have been livable. If Bo goes there and plays legit 1C minutes I wouldn't be surprised if his numbers got a bit of a boost from what they've been here tbh. He never had an opportunity to be one here, Henrik was 1C til he retired and the season after Pettersson stepped in and took off with a Calder winning season, it was pretty clear Pettersson was going to be the team's future 1C if he could put it all together and keep it going. I hope he has success over there, won't be surprised if he does. It'll be interesting to see what the folks painting him out as an "elephant" have to say if their envisioned "country club" continues going forward, they'll need a new scapegoat. Very interested to see how this pans out. Maybe only a top 9 winger but they still subtracted some scoring as well. This is a team who's at the bottom of goals for and PP... I don't think it's possible for one guy to fix that but you never know with the role he will play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 29 minutes ago, Devron said: Bo is a family man. Security is important to him. Not just money but also knowing he doesn’t have to move his young family around the continent But he has to raise his family in NY, you can't tell me the money didn't trump everything else now that the details are out. Now that some time has passed and this is known, it was absolutely the best move to trade Bo. When he's two or three years removed from his career year and playing like a 5.5-6m dollar player, there'll be no regrets I'm sure from either side. And yes, the same could probably be said about Miller regressing to a lower standard of regular play as we've sadly already seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 To be fair, depending on how the cap goes up, 8.5 million will eventually be the equivalent to a 6 million dollar player in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 3 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Still think that’s a garbage rumour. No way they would have only offered him like an 600k raise. Latest rumour had us at 7.5 x 7 and even that was pushing it. In the summer before Bo’s magnificent allstar season started the rumour was they offered him 5.25 mill a year. Then he got to play with some better offensive players this year (not Pearson lol) became over a point a game and then management came back offering more. Probably came back with the contract Bo’s agent was asking for in the summer lol. By then it was too late Bo’s agent knew then that they could get more and that deal wasn’t good enough anymore and management didn’t or couldn’t give him a deal 8+ mill a season.

Nucker 67 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Guessing there's a lot of angry Islanders fans wanting Lou fired. But they don't know Bo yet, and once they do they'll like him. Pressure is now on Horvat to produce. No way JR/PA were going to give Bo that deal, and I think I would've been angry if they did. Good trade for both sides really. They got the C now. VAN got the C of the future and a real good prospect coming soon.
